Thanks to Orange County Readers blog for the A to Z  idea.

The Challenge

I did not set a goal of reading X number of books this year. I do not do challenges by planning my reading. I do them after I’ve read a bunch of books. This great challenge is to read books in a year that have titles starting with each letter of the alphabet. Good luck kwith “X.”
