2017 A-Z Title #Reading Challenge

As usual, one of the groups I'm a member of over on Goodreads had an A-Z title reading challenge for the year. The aim of this challenge, if you're not familiar with this type of challenge already, is to read books that start with each of the letters of the alphabet. Yep, it really is that simple!

For the more difficult letters, such as Q and X, all that matters is that the letter appears somewhere in the title. Also, if the book starts with the words "The" or "A" - as in "The Pineapple Loving Dragon" or "A Magical Storm" - you can choose whether to count the "A" or "The" parts, or not. Does that make sense?

To make it more difficult for myself, I added an extra rule, which was that I couldn't use more than one book from any one particular author. So, for example, if I was reading a series with titles that would count for several letters, I could only use one of those titles to fill in one of my letters, and had to wait until I was reading a book by another author to fill in the other letters. This was not an official rule, but something I threw in to make it a little more challenging for myself, due to my habit of completing this challenge before the year is half over. I guess it worked, since I only managed to complete the challenge a week ago (although, with how much I've read this year, I could have easily finished it sooner if I'd made reading the books for the letters for the A-Z challenge more of a priority).

Anyway... I've now completed the challenge for this year. So, here's what I read for it:
