I liked it. I really like her older stuff best, but this was one of her better newer stories.

This is such a great idea- I love it! I may have to challenge myself to do something similar for next year. Thanks for sharing!

I think I have that one to read Katie.... how was it?

I really enjoyed it. I was afraid it would be a sappy teen romance based on the description, but it wasn't at all like that.

How did you like Keeping the Moon? I read Lock and Key and it was really good.

This looks like fun! I'll have to do this challenge (books only) next year :)

I don't count 'the,' 'an,' or 'a' as the first word in a title. If it's there, I go on to the next word in the title.

Nice! But a quick question, what if it is a book with 'the' in front? Does that count? (Don't mind me, it is raining in Greenbelt, MD and I just want to be a little silly).

But this is an awesome idea!

Not very quickly. LOL

I struggle to find time to read print stuff so completing that list will be a challenge.

You're getting there Katie! What a neat idea!

finished!

I did that a few years ago and set the rule that every one had to be new-to-me. It was fun and I ended up discovering some great new authors.

This sounds like fun.

There is also a version of this where you read a book from an author for each letter of the alphabet.......

A: Austen
B: Bailey

etc..........have fun with it!!

Just finished this one in print:


Finished on audio:

Love this idea!

VERY cool idea. I may try that!

This is a great idea. I might try this one in the future. Good Luck! =)

I love this idea!

I'm challenging myself to read a title starting with each letter of the alphabet this year. Actually, I have two challenges within this challenge because I'm keeping one list for print and a separate list for audios.

I was inspired to attempt this by a friend and thought I'd post my progress here. I'll add a reply each time I complete a book and then update this post to reflect my total progress.
