A-Z Title Book Reading Challenge--Jan 1st- Dec 31st 2016

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Halfway done! ^-^

[Victoria]

Great job so far everyone! :)

[Nancy]

Half way done! Wow! That is crazy.

I have only gotten 8 books done. That's better then last year though, lol. I'd be a little farther along but I read three books that start with S.

Hey, we're only a little under two months in to the year, so there's more than enough time to finnish. I mean, 8 books is still about a third done, which is great for so early in the year! :)

[Nancy]

One third sounds a lot better, doesn't it?

Thanks Victoria!

I have a reading goal of 250 this year so I think I'm going to do the challenge multiple times. ^-^

8 books is really good. A lot of my books were under or just around 100 pages so they were really short. :)

My reading goal for the year is almost as high as yours, but I'm only going to do the challenge once.

Oh oh... Already running into many multiples of duplicate letters! Yikes!

[Victoria]

Great job, Bridgett, and Karen!

Karen: ah, you knew it would happen sooner or later... The duplicate letters thing, I mean. ;)

No kidding! The X is the reason I won't do it more than once a year... It's usually tough enough to find one X book. ;)

[Bridgett]

I have at least 3-5 books with doubles lol and X is killing me lol
so i did a round 2 lol

[Nancy]

IKR!

I am trying hard to check the list before I choose what to read. For some reason a lot of books that begin with the letter S are ones I really want to read. I have already read three. LOL

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I also had a lot of doubles. But I am doing this challenge in multiple groups and the one from Crazy for Young Adult books finally helped me sort things out a bit since they do 7 different categories for books instead of the usual one or two. So that has helped me immensely with sorting out my doubles. ^-^

Thank you!

I'm finding that manga are really helping me to finish this challenge. I only have about 11 more of the title letters to finish and I found a manga for each of them. ^-^

Nice job Victoria!

[Victoria]

Thanks, Jenny! :)

I know what I'm reading for my "V" book (in fact, it's the book I'm planning to start reading next) and I've got a pretty good idea what I'm going to read for my "Z" book. I just need to figure out what I'm going to read for my "X" book this year.
