2017 A-to-Z Challenge

[Diane U]

Is anyone interested is trying the A-Z challenge again this year?

Here's how it works:

You want to try to use each letter of the alphabet for a book you read. It could be the title or author's first or last name. We're pretty flexible so don't sweat it! It does not have to be only Amish fiction, it can be fiction or non-fiction also. Whatever you read in 2017 will qualify!

I want to do this too. Does the the book or author have to start with the "letter"?

I was told either one.

You want to try to use each letter of the alphabet for a book you read. It could be the title or author's first or last name. We're pretty flexible so don't sweat it! It does not have to be only Amish fiction, it can be fiction or non-fiction also. Whatever you read in 2017 will qualify!

Thanks for the info. I will get my alphabet going.

I have found "X" to be a challenge, so if it's anywhere in the title or author's name I use it!

[Diane U]

Personally I start off using the book title, then if it is not available then I use author's first or last name. For the harder letter, I agree with Barbara and I get "creative". There are no challenge police here to correct you! Good luck!

[Suzanne]

XO: A Kathryn Dance Novel by Jeffery Deaver if you like detective books. I read it in 2016. Does it count if I read it again in 2017
