You can choose any of the 3 categories or as many as you would like.
To make the process of adding links easier, please do not put anything other than one or two sentences in your comment until December 30. Wait until December 30 or later to add your alphabet list. Thank you!
The format is:
You are looking for words in your titles, authors and settings that you are trying to coincide with the letter. For titles, it can be the beginning letter of any word in the title. It is the same with the author's name - either first or last (or middle) as well as the setting which can be town, county, state/province, country.
It looks like this:
Authors -- Listed alphabetically by author.
Titles -- Listed alphabetically by title.
Setting -Listed alphabetically
You can do 1, 2, or all 3 categories as your challenge. You CAN do a crossover as you can count a book for 2 categories, so for instance you could take a title and an author from one book and count it for two categories. The goal is to hit all the titles A-Z (and or authors, and settings, not necessarily to read them in order. You can post one of two ways- either a complete list ahead of time that you are aiming towards or a read and post as you go kind of thing. It's ok to change your mind and substitute titles as you go if you "pre-do" your list.
LEVELS:
Level 1: One category (1-26 books)
Level 2: Two categories (27-52 books)
Level 3: Three categories (52-78 books)
