A-Z Reading Challenge

I love lists and I love books and I find that reading challenges combine these two to great advantage!

I used to keep up with book challenges on my former book review blog.  Even though I quit updating that blog and reading other book blogs, I still kept up with this A-Z challenge, for my own enjoyment.  Now that I'm blogging again, I thought it would be fun to find a few book challenges.  This is a given since, like I said, I've been doing it for years.  I don't always complete the author challenge, but I generally do well with the title.  I completed the titles last year, but still lacked E, I, J, K, N, Q, T, U, X, and Y for authors.

Escape with Dollycas is hosting the A-Z Challenge for book titles.

It is pretty self explanatory.  Read one book that begins with each letter of the alphabet. 

I am also attempting to do this with authors' surnames, though that is not included in this challenge.  It will just be my extra challenge.
