I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.
I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.
Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)
Idea from Jen at Jen's Book Talk Monthly Mixer Mele but she isn't hosting it this year and I had a great time trying to finish the challenge so.......Welcome to the 
What: To read a book for each letter in the year. That's right, a title for the J in January and the A in January, etc.... 74 books total!
Start date: April 1, 2011,
because we're fools to try thisEnd date: March 31, 2013,
yes, two years, because well, we have other challenges to do ;)
Guidelines:
only one letter per book
books can be moved around if it fits better somewhere else after you've read it
the letter doesn't have to be the first word, just the first letter of a word in the title (a, an, and, the do not count-except for something like "And Then You Die")
reviews aren't necessary but a quick "I read for letter... it was about... I did/not like it" comment would be nice.
if you decide to join in, create a post on your blog telling others then come back and link up (to the actual post, not just your blog's home page)
a blog is not necessary, just comment on that month's post at the Lair
if you get stuck, an author's name will do in a pinch but try to have more titles than names
the most important thing is to have fun!
3-12-11: WAIT! this challenge now has it's own blog! Check it out

I tried Jen's challenge last year, but didn't complete it. I think it's cool though and I'm glad you made it two years! Here's my sign up post: http://truebookaddictchallenges.blogspot.com/2011/01/monthly-mix-up-mania-reading-challenge.html
I didn't see a linky so I hope it was okay to sign up here in the comments. Thanks for hosting!
