I need an author who's last name starts with Z.
Jayme, for the Z part, the title or author's name only needs to contain a Z. So for my choice, I'm doing The Zookeeper's Wife

I found Zoya or I can read Marion Zimmerman Bradley.

For example: The Alchemist"
The first letter has to be A, so a book starting with "The" doesn't work.
What about Mark Z. Danielewski? The Z is his middle initial, but it appears to be his official author name. Would he work? Thanks!

The author's name just has to contain a Z, right? So Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie would count?

I'm planning to read a book by David J. SchwartzThe Z is all the way at the end, but it's still there:)
Mod
The Z is all the way at the end, but it's still there:)"
since z is at the end of the alphabet, pretty appropriate, huh?
Mod
Happy Thanksgiving!
For the Z part, does a sub-author work? For example, Hatter M has Liz Cavalier as a secondary author. Would that work?
Mod
Yes, as long as GR has her listed as an author, it works.
So for part A, since the book has to START with A does the word/article "A" work? I want to use A Year in Provence for this challenge but want to make sure that "A" counts!
Mod
Yep - it's an "A" - so it works!
