YOU DO NOT NEED TO LIST THE BOOKS AHEAD OF TIME. BE sure to include title of author name first, followed by name of book, and publishing year in ().

Okay I have two questions.....it does have to be a to z using first or last names right? and if so you only listed 24.....so are the other two just what ever you want to read? oh and one more question if the book was publish in 2004 but you have the kindle addition will that still count cause the kindle addition will be later but actual book came out earlier....

[Sidne]

okay

[Sidne]

correction made, 12 throwbacks and i split the present and past reads up to seven each. see my list.

[Ashley]

Does the books have to be alphabetical order a-z

[Sidne]

Sorry for the late reply. No the list does not. thats a very interesting idea. Let me be sure to let others know that it is NOT a requirement but definitely a challenge.

[Ashley]

Thanks no problem

Oh okay it does NOT have to be abc order.....glad to hear that I can add a few more to my read list.....Thanks for the heads up......

[Sidne]

I'm back on my reading zone, enjoying it. glad i don't have to work the entire month of Dec. cause it is on. No kids too. oh, I just may have this wrapped. last read, finished 12/1. started another 12/2 and have finished this short one of 196 pages already today. going to take a break. today, and do some blogging and back on it tonight. got to find some short stories. i've done one or two to help speed things up, need more.

[ShayBooks]

On the short stories they still have to be in the three formats correct?

[Sidne]

YES, STILL THE FORMAT BUT YOU CAN READ THE FIRST 50 PAGE TO FINISH.

[ShayBooks]

I can't do it, I tried to read the first fifty and then stop, I would rather not finish challenge then to cheat myself out of a good book. Maybe next year will complete if there is one.

[Sidne]

Yes,I believe there will be. I will contact Barbara about that.

[Sidne]

time is of the essence and why did i read a short story and i don't think i need that darn LETTER!! WTH!!!! let me go back and check, darrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnn.

[Sidne]

whewww i can use the book, i was going to read Reshonda Tate and I started it then i got a notice from an author who wanted me to read her short story so BAM!! I did that and saved a day or two which helped me to complete my novel for today letter I. that book was alright hell, i almost put it DOWNNNNNNN, but i stood like a soldier to finish it. BANGGGGGGG!!

[Natasha]

Lol

[Sidne]

WTW!!! look now, how i'm going to get this close and tire out. dagggggggg. one more to go and i can't find a k author that has less than 300 damn pages. darnnnnnnnn. ok, research time.

[Shantel]

Kayla Perrin has a short story in A Season of Miracles if you haven't read it before.

[Sidne]

its funny you said that, look above i went for that author which i got from your list. however, her short story was not in the year i needed so i'm going to go ahead and read the one above especially since a neighbor or a neighbor had it. yeah, girl, i be serious on them book finds. lol. (neighbor of a neighbor)

[Shantel]

Lol, let me know if it's any good I haven't read that one yet.

the novel was from a 2.5 to a 3.0. a bit chopped, had good elements but no substance. a good light read. The title of the book took me in another direction although i later understood why the author named titled the novel as such.
