I'm going to do both.

H: Hope by Lori Copeland
I: Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
J: Just Over the Mountain by Robyn Carr
K: Killing Custer by Margaret Coel
L: (The)Letter by Richard Paul Evans
M: My Story by Elizabeth Smart
N: Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain

Danya- How did you like Q&A? I listened to the audible of that one last year and loved it!

I've seen the movie when it came out years ago and loved it, but I've only recently decided to read the book - I loved it. :) The movie was made to be dramatic though.

Anna wrote: "Jessica wrote: "This challenge is pretty self explanatory. Work your way through the alphabet and try to read a book for each letter. You can either choose titles, authors or some combination of ..."

My original thought about the combo was that you can do a mix of authors and titles. Not necessary 26 authors and 26 titles. Some people are just way more ambitious than I am, lol!

Hi Teri is it to late to start the Author books, I've been reading other books and decided to go ahead and do the authors.

Managed to get through both titles and authors this year as of 11/23/14. I will probably go back to either/or next year. Too much pressure for me. :)

:) Krista, I just like to see how many I can get. Usually by June I realize that I've forgotten to list my books then I play catch up.

And I've totally given up on certain letters (X and Z come to mind). If I come across one that's something I like I'll read it but I'm not going out of my way to find one!

I raided the library's children's area to fill in the gaps. I found an "X" author and requested a book... "X" authors can be found if you look for Chinese authors.

Great idea Amy!

I just started Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian, which was a Nobel Prize winner. 10 pages in and so far it is pretty good, the descriptions are poetic and vibrant. I hope that continues throughout the book.

Yeah, that stupid X author. I didn't get Q or U either. I tried Lisa Unger but wasn't crazy about the one I read. And no Q authors at all. As for Titles. Same problem. No X, Y or Z.

I got halfway through an "X" author but ran out of time before I could finish... are we doing A to Z for 2015? If so, I have a good start for "X"...LOL

I'm not sure. Jessica is in charge of most of the challenges. I do the year long one along with the Weird Question of the Week.
