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!
