I liked both of them - very light hearted and fun to read!

[Jenna]

this has been fun to do. since i read about a book a day, it was easy enough for me to add on titles w/the letters. and good motivation to finally read some stuff on my "to read" list.

but any ideas for X?

i've previously read all of the sue grafton alphabet/kinsey malone series so i can't do that.

[Jenna]

Thanks. I'll give it a look.

Hey, i think it's simply because the leaderboard hasn't been updated since you posted your list. So your score will appear the next time Kaseadillla updates it :)

DONE!!!

Call me crazy, but I'm going to start a second challenge. I've already completed 8 books on my first challenge, and have 4 in process. My overall goal for the year includes 50 YA/Adult books, so I think this is doable. Obviously, I won't be the first one done (some of you read A LOT . . . I'm jealous), but this has been an awesome challenge. There are AT LEAST 2 books on my TBR list for every letter of the alphabet (except Q and X) that I REALLY want to read, so here goes!

UPDATE: So . . . I had planned to complete this challenge with only Young Adult and Adult books, BUT I've read a lot more Juvenile books than expected this year. Thus, I'm going to use some of them for this challenge. I feel a bit guilty, but honestly, most of the Juvenile books I've read are as long as the Adult books I read.

[Marcos]

Haha, I shoudn't have said that, but actually I might be thinking of all the challenges Kasey released at the same time. And then I thought of reading my first choices and that would never be competitive in the Alphabet Soup! But later, on second thought, I realized I could pick books from my list choosing them by the letters! So... :-)

Oh, surprised that some are already finished or close to finishing. Good job! I'm just taking it as I have a year to complete this, and while I knocked quite a few off in the first few weeks, I am getting into repeat letters with readings for other challenges and such. Working on U now.

Very Cool! I am having some difficulty with the usual letters. I may "borrow" some of your ideas. Serial Reader has helped me with several, although a couple are probably only short stories. It''s been fun, and like you have founds some things I wouldn't have ever read.

Congrats Marcos and Jenna, you put great effort on this. I've been falling behind and repeating letters so as to finish sagas but now I'm focused on getting ahead with this challenge.

Every message has a number. Every page has 50 messages. So, memorize that your comment is in message "X" on page "Y".

How to go to that page? See the small numbers on the top and bottom of every page (previous 1 2 3 4... next). They're links. Click on your page number, there you go. :-)

Yeah, I found stuff I wouldn't have picked up otherwise. Most of it turned out to be good. Remember there's always the sue grafton alphabet series for those hard to find letters.

Wow, congrats to those that have already completed this challenge!

I have had a lot of library books come through after long holds and several were duplicate letters but plan to focus more on this starting next month.

[Jacquie]

Hi kaseadillla,
I'm doing the alphabet soup challenge and i'm reading harry potter books. They all start with harry potter and the... Do they all begin with H for this challenge?

Thanks for your help!

Jacquie

[Marcos]

My suggestion is that books in a series with books all starting with the same letter but with a clear subtitle could be approached like this:

1. If you only read ONE book, then the very first letter (like H) OR the first letter of the subtitle.

2. If you read more than one, then the first letter of the subtitle (like "S" for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone").

But in this case no "H"!

Rules are up to Kasey, this is just a suggestion.

Score: 26/26
COMPLETED

Hmm I am pretty Confident that I will NOT complete this challenge.
But I am going to play along anyways

Edit (March 29): I am very proud that I have finished 10 already!
I think I have changed my motivation from let's participate and see how far can I go to lets complete the challenge!

Edit (Sept 12): I am really struggling in completing the remining letters, especially Q, X, Y. I can't seem to find anything that I might like, and I am debating whether it is fruitful to force read some books to complete the challange, or just don't complete it.

Edit (Dec 28): Huh! I finished!
