Here I am trying to complete the ABC Challenge for the third year in a row. I will complete it in 2020. I will have to be a little more methodical this time around!

I know! Very few choices. I am determined to bang this out!
2/1 update: I have 3/26. I am definitely trying to be more methodical with my choices but there are so many with the word The, and I added the extra challenge of finding books that didn't have the word The in it. Definitely makes it more challenging.
2/18 update: I've added one more book, I am hoping to add one more over the next couple of days so I can make my goal of two a month.
I am at 5/26 and making more methodical choices for my books!
As of yesterday (3/4) I have read 6/26. At the beginning of March and 20 to go, I feel like I am making much more methodical choices this time around to successfully complete this challenge.
I am currently 7/26 and I think I am making good progress with trying to hit the list with 2-3 books a month. I know it will get harder as the months go by but I think I've made good progress so far!
Mod
Keep up the good work!
It's almost the end of March and I am 8/26. Hoping to squeeze in one more letter before the month ends and I'll feel like I am track.
9/26 at the beginning of April. Have some work to do!
I am at 10/26 and I know I have a couple I am reading this much I can check off this list.
4/9 update: I am now 11/26 and I have quite a few of the beginning of the alphabet done, just missing C and F (C will be tackled this month)
4/22 update: I am now 12/26, almost halfway there! Thinking about being half way, I have a lot of the first half of the alphabet done, with the exception of F,H,I,J,K which I know what books I have for F,H, & I, I will need to think about J & K (I do own Jurassic Park which I haven't read yet so I think I'll be fine there)
Mod
And Jurassic Park is an excellent book!
As of 4/30, I am halfway through the alphabet. 13/26 done.
Mod
As of 5/20, I am at 14/20. I should be hitting another letter, Y, by the end of the week. In my TBR pile next to my bed, I have other letters I should be able to hit in the next coming weeks if I don't get too distracted by my other books!
I forgot to post but I got the letter Y last week. I am making some excellent progress. 15/26
I was able to knock off two letters in the month of June: I and W. This puts me at 17/26. I am so happy with my progress. I have the letters F,P, and U lined up so I can get one of the more difficult letters out of the way.
For the month of July, I have gotten the letter F. I have my chosen books for J,K,P, and U and I have N in my pile of TBR books. Getting F puts me at 18/26 which is great since I have an additional 5 picked out and I have Y in my kindle books. Should be able to knock this out before the year is out. So many books to read.
Mod
I've stopped keeping track. I need to look at my recent reads to see if I randomly achieved any letters. lol.

P is on my nightstand but it probably 7th in line to be read haha
As of 8/25/20 (almost a month later) I finally hit another letter. The letter P is done! I am now at 19/26. I have the letter N (not sure how I haven't read that yet) coming up shortly, I have books for J, K, U, and Y. I'm sure I'll hit the letter R. It's going to be X and Z that will be the hardest. Going to try to end the month with N but definitely working my way through the alphabet better than last year!
8/29/20 - I am now at 20/26. Finally hit the letter N, not sure how it took me this long. J,K,U,X,Y,Z... definitely can complete the challenge this year. Finally.
Mod
As of 12/5, I have 4 letters to go: J, K, X, Z. (I already had Y, so not sure why I thought I needed it) it's going to come down to the wire, but I will finish this challenge!
As of 12/14, I have 22 out of 26. I have no idea where I was with thinking I had some letters when I didn't. I have K, R, X, & Z to go. We are down to the wire but I have 2 weeks and this will get done!
As of 12/19, I have 23/26. R, X & Z. I already ready have R and I just started Z. Definitely will have some reading to finish over the holidays! But not impossible!
R is done, I am finishing up X tonight. Let's see if I can read Z in one day tomorrow LOL
