Tr1sha | 391 comments Our challenge for May is to read classic books (or short stories) with at least one of the letters M, A, Y anywhere in the book title or author’s name. Score 1 point for every one of these letters even when they appear multiple times. Use your preferred language - if this includes the letter A with an accent/symbol you can include it in your score.
How many points can you collect in the month?

Examples:
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins scores 2 points for M & A in the title.
The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy scores 4 points for M, 2 As & Y in the title plus another 4 points for M, 2 As & Y in the author’s name - total 8 points for this book.

Have fun!
