Steps:
1. Create a comment on this thread.
2. Copy, paste, and edit the alphabet set in the first post below.
3. Update your comment throughout the year, adding the books you finish during 2026.
Guidelines:
1. Titles need to match a letter of the alphabet. Use the "add book/author" button to create links to the books here on Goodreads.
2. Drop "A," "An," and "The" from titles. For example, The Clockwork Crow (by Catherine Fisher) would be listed for C, and A Song Called Home (by Sara Zarr) would be listed for S.
3. Exception! Q, X, and Z are especially challenging letters to work with. You may choose a book that has a word in the title that starts with Q or Z. For example, Daring Darleen: Queen of the Screen (by Anne Nesbet) can count for Q, and Not Starring Zadie Louise (by Joy McCollough) will work for Z. And we'll accept a word beginning with EX for your X book, like The Exact Location of Home (by Kate Messner) or The Expeditioners and the Treasure of Drowned Man's Canyon (by S.S. Taylor).
4. If your title begins with a number, convert it to a letter by spelling it out. For example, The 14 Fibs of Gregory K. (by Greg Pincus) would be listed for F, and 100 Cupboards (by N.D. Wilson) would be listed for O.
5. It's okay to add multiple titles under each letter, but there's no extra credit.
6. Only list middle-grade titles. No picture books, YA, or adult books about kids.
7. You can add a rating and review link. For example ***** My review is here.
8. For an added challenge, see if you can read your books in alphabetical order.
9. Have fun!
