Damini Hi Friends, this Yearly Challenge is all about reading books whose Title or Author's name or Cover illustration pictures begin with each letter of the Alphabets from A-Z

Duration : January 4 to December 31, 2014
Number of Books : 26 (A to Z)


Choose how you are going to read for this challenge

Choice A - Title :
The first letter in the title of the books (not the title of the series) should correspond to a letter in the alphabet.The articles “a”, “an” & “the” are not counted as part of the Title. Letters Q, X and Z can be positioned anywhere in the title if you are unable to find books starting from these letters.
Example:

A: After Dark
B: Beautiful Creatures
C: Catching Fire

Choice B - Author : The first letter in the Author’s Name (first or last) should correspond to a letter in the alphabet. Letters Q, X and Z can be positioned anywhere in the author’s name if you are unable to find Author Names starting from these letters.

Choice C - Cover : Read books with cover pictures from A-Z. For letters like Q, X, Y, and Z you can use any cover you like.
Example:

A: Apple
Twilight (Twilight, #1) by Stephenie Meyer

B: Bicycle
Bicycle Mystery (The Boxcar Children, #15) by Gertrude Chandler Warner

C: Cars
Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates


You can Post your Reading Progress here and keep updating the same post as and when you finish books :)

Keep reading.

Damini Sure, Hannelore! Why not!
Read as many as you can. The minimum is 26, maximum is up to you. Also you can read more than one book starting with a particular alphabet.
