This is a great idea. I might try this one in the future. Good Luck! =)
There is also a version of this where you read a book from an author for each letter of the alphabet.......A: Austen
B: Bailey
C: Capote
etc..........have fun with it!!

I did that a few years ago and set the rule that every one had to be new-to-me. It was fun and I ended up discovering some great new authors.
You're getting there Katie! What a neat idea!

I struggle to find time to read print stuff so completing that list will be a challenge.
Nice! But a quick question, what if it is a book with 'the' in front? Does that count? (Don't mind me, it is raining in Greenbelt, MD and I just want to be a little silly).But this is an awesome idea!

I don't count 'the,' 'an,' or 'a' as the first word in a title. If it's there, I go on to the next word in the title.
wow! good suggestions! I want to try the author alphabet...:) cool!
I finished one of each yesterday.

What have you got for X?"
Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't got around to thinking about X yet.
I've finished another audio:

This looks like fun! I'll have to do this challenge (books only) next year :)
in print:
How did you like Keeping the Moon? I read Lock and Key and it was really good.

I think I have that one to read Katie.... how was it?
This is such a great idea- I love it! I may have to challenge myself to do something similar for next year. Thanks for sharing!
