For each letter A through Z, you will read a book with an item shown on the cover that begins with the corresponding letter. As always, for those difficult letters - Q, X, Y and Z - the letter need only appear in the name of your item - it does not need to be the first letter.

This is a one year challenge that begins July 1, 2020 and will end June 30, 2021.
