Well, I don't really have any guidelines for this challenge. I've just been searching out short stories online and keeping track of the ones I've read, with an overall goal of reading more of them.The other option is to challenge yourselves to a certain number of stories for the year, or per week/month.
Use this folder to keep track of the short stories you're reading and to give suggestions for sources.
Read a book by authors (whose work you've never read before) where the last name begins with each letter of the alphabet.There are some authors with last names that begin with X, and there will be a separate thread for suggestions, but if you don't want to be so restricted you can choose an author who has an X somewhere in the name.
I'm Kristen, I'm 30-something, married, with 2 beautiful daughters who definitely keep me on my toes. I love to read almost every genre, but if I don't think about it I tend to read mostly sci-fi/fantasy. Not a bad thing, but I miss out on some great books in other genres.I admit that the A-Z challenges I got from others, but I've slightly changed the author one to fit my needs, and I've come up with a few others to round out my reading. I personally am doing all the challenges without using the same book for more than one spot.
Hope you join me!
