Hi Beth, I love this! How do you get the post to compress?

I like how Elise has the whole alphabet showing to add as she goes instead of making individual posts. Also, do you guys "edit" your list when you have a book where one of the alphabet letters is taken and change it or once you've read it, it stays?

For example you have a title on the author's list for the letter "D" and you read another title that has a D author but you can't put it there because the D is already taken. Can you move the first D author to the title list if it's title alphabet letter isn't being used?

I was hoping this one would be longer, but just ran out of time. I am surprised that I managed to complete three runs and hope to get more completed next quarter.

4th Quarter ~ 3rd Run

1. Christmas Every Day EB
2. Snow Day AB (Day is common to #1 and #2)
3. Let There Be Snow EB (Snow is common to #2 and #3)
4. Never Let You Go AB (Let is common to #3 and #4)

Was a decision made on whether X, Y and Z would be combined?

I’m ending 2022 as a level three, so I’m going to shoot for a level four for 2023.

I am completing the year with having worked on 19 series. I love this challenge as it made me realize just how much of my reading is part of a series. Looking forward to next year!

Looks like I will be finishing out this year at a level 3 Bookworm. Just over half of my total reading was audio books, so I'm thankful for this format, otherwise my reading would be drastically less.

36. A Partridge and a Pregnancy by Willa Nash 3/5

35. Three Bells, Two Bows and One Brother's Best Friend by Willa Nash 3/5

I vote for combining X, Y & Z 😊

I really enjoyed this challenge and look forward to it next year

Can we also have an alphabet challenge for title too? 😊

I found this series on Audible while looking for short Christmas themed stories and hoping to finish the series by the end of the year. So far, I am enjoying them.

Holiday Brothers Series by Willa Nash
#1 - The Naughty, The Nice and The Nanny AB 3/5
#2 - Three Bells, Two Bows and One Brother's Best Friend AB 3/5
#3 - A Partridge and a Pregnancy AB 3/5

34. The Naughty, The Nice and The Nanny by Willa Nash 3/5

33. Resting Scrooge Face by Meghan Quinn 3/5

Cute Christmas series if you enjoy whimsical festive themes that occur in a town named Mistletoe and when the protagonists have the last name Winters and operate a Christmas tree farm. :)
