A-Z Reading Challenge

Also while I was reading the Sunday Salon post at In Spring it is the Dawn, I saw the A-Z Reading Challenge:
~ align the author's last name or the title of a book (excluding "the", "a", etc.) with its corresponding letter in the alphabet

~ enter a different book for each author and title (total of 52 books)

~ complete the alphabet lists anyway that suits your fancy
(i.e.: complete each list separately in alphabetical order, read both "A" entries, then "B" entries, fit whatever you're reading into either list, etc.)

~ complete the challenge in the year 2008

~ enjoy the experience!


I have to do this one too! I'm glad I keep a reading journal, so I have a list of what I've read this year.
