The Lost Challenges discussion

A-Z Villains Challenge
Duration: January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020

For this challenge we are going to read the alphabet using the names of villians.
Celia came up with this idea, which I think is fabulous!

villain NOUN
(in a film, novel, or play) a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.

Goal: Read 26 books, each one by an villain's first or last whose name begins with a different letter of the alphabet. Middle initials/names do not count.

EXAMPLE:
A - Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (last name)
B - Rubbernecker - Belinda Bauer (first/last name)
C - I Let You Go - Clare Mackintosh (first name)

*For Q, U, X, Y and Z, the villain only needs to have that letter somewhere in their name.

EXAMPLE:
Z - Watchers - Dean Koontz
