Lol! You can do whatever you want to with it, so if you only want to use books starting today, go for it! 😃

haha I think I'll stick with starting at the beginning of the year; I'm in way too many book clubs and challenges already lolololol :)

Question for ya-- if the book starts with a number does it count to spell the number out and use the letter? So for title would The 5th Wave work for the letter F?

I'll accept the spellings for numbers, so yes! The 5th Wave could be either T or F 🙂

Okay. So I need help. I am doing series for the third year in a row (failed the first, finished the second) because I have a ton of series on the go and need to make a dent in them. So I am having a hard time this year with J, O, Y and X series title. I have already done the Young Elites and XVI. Any suggestions?

Just One Day by Gayle Forman is a YA series

Depending on how rigid you are I see there's a series called "Age of X". It's not listed as YA on Goodreads, but a lot of lists have it as YA so who really knows.

Good luck!

Xoe: or Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, Oh My! is the first of the Xoe Myers series and is free for Kindle on Amazon.

Thanks Nicole. I have been eyeing that one up as my only option. I was just hoping there was something better.

Thanks Kim. Trying to be strict with my letters at the beginning of the series title but will check out the J option.

It's never too late! You can always use any books you've read from the beginning of the year up to now, or you can start now and just do as many as you can :)

Aww thanks! Normally I would be able to do it in 4 months but I'm also working on Popsugar (45/52) & ATY (20/52) this year with all separate titles and I think trying to add more books in to fit the missing letters might be a bit too much before the end of the year so I think I'll just start fresh with A-Z in 2019 adding it to the roster! :)

I just wanted to post early in case anyone here was still looking for some ideas for their 2018 one! =D
