[Erin]

So it’s essentially the Sue Grafton challenge lol
I’ve thought about reading her “A” is for Alibi. Has anyone read it or other books of hers? What were your thoughts?
I was so sad to hear of her passing before she could complete a very unique series. But regardless her talent will live on as fans read her books. I’ll have to look through my library before I commit to this challenge haha

[Jonetta]

It’s not the Sue Grafton challenge. Any book that begins with each letter of the alphabet will do.

I’ve not read Grafton’s books But have friends that enjoyed the series, which now will end at Y.

Quick question- I've been editing and updating my list as I finish a book. Should I re-post it each time I finish a book? Also, I've added multiple books under the same letter. It's not affecting my overall score (I've read 15 books but have only crossed out 11 letters) but I'm new to this challenge and want to make sure I'm following the rules/guidelines.
Thank you!!
Happy reading!!

[Jonetta]

No, please don’t repost! You should edit your original template. Only one book per letter.

Thanks for asking.

I know it isn’t literally a Sue G challenge. I meant someone could plan on reading her 25 books (A to Y) & have 99% of their challenge planned out. Bad attempt at humor 😂

Lol! Yes, I did take you literally. Good humor, dull receptor:)

Cookie, you need to add these to your post in #15.

[Barbara "Cookie"]

How do I do that?

[Jennifer, Just beyond normal ♑]

if you go to beginning of this post you can click on your name, it will take you to your post, then click on edit on the bottom right of your post. Hope this helps! I am still learning all the ins and outs here as well.

[Jonetta]

Perfectly explained, Jennifer.

Cookie, I don’t believe you can do this using the app. Switch to the desktop version (menu option).
