I think I have four. "E", "U", "X", and "Y". I know that some of the harder ones can be filled with that letter being in the title or author's name but I am looking forward to attempting to actually read something that starts with that letter.*Update*
I am down to just needing 3, as I got my "E".
**I just completed the challenge on 10/4. YAY!
I have 6 books left - K, Q, V, X, Y & Z! I am looking for an actual X book, but am still on the search. Otherwise I have books lined up for all of the other letters.
Mod
I have 7 letters left.. F,K,N,Q,V,X,Z...
Are we going to do this challenge next year also? If so I'll probably join in then at the start of the year.
I still have 4 to go. E, V, X, Z. I might have to read X-men and Zelda. :) I have E and V books on my to-read list.
I still have 15 left. Don't know if I will make it this year or not but I am going to try.
Mod
Wow June you and Ashley are tied at 4 more books for the year. Good Luck Ladies.
That's ok Wendy i have 6-0r 7 left and i am going to cram them in at least try. I read a lot though so hopefully will get to em. Happy Reading.
When I said I read A LOT in my intro, I meant it. It's kind of my escape from sanity ;) My Goodreads goal for the year is to read one book for each day of the year. So far I'm about 35 ahead of schedule. So I think I will make it if I can find a book for each letter that will catch my interest. I found an E book for tonight. Eternity by Staci Stallings. Then I just have V, X, and Z and Wendy commented on the Zookeepers Wife which looks like a great read. So...
I am an avid reader too. I am disabled and read anywhere from 1-3 books a day especially in the winter for I hate the stuff on tv LOL. This year alone I have read already 254 books out of the 500 that I set for a goal this year. I am just a little behind of about 40 books but I am not worried about it.
Now I am missing 5 letters, (Q, V, X, Y, and Z) for books with the letter starting the title. I just need to look at getting a couple of books from the library to cover the Y, V, and Q. I have though already read a book by Penny Zeller and several by Debra Ullrick. I am sure I will come across those letters starting a title if I just look LOL.

There is a list on listopia if anyone is interested for letters x,y, and z https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
V and Z to go. For anyone who likes Scottish clan stories, X Marks the Scot by Victoria Roberts was a fun read for my letter X.
I have 3 Left. K, Q, and X.I'll probably finish up X in the next few days or so.

You should read "Tolstoy and the Purple Chair" which is about a lady who did just that. It's non-fiction and I thought fairly profound.

Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading to my to-read list

So far I'm about 35..."Thanks, Noel. Just found it at my library so I requested it. Love when people make suggestions for books they enjoyed. (No wonder I can't get through my TBR pile. I add to it faster than I delete from it.) ;)
Noel thanks for the suggestion for that looks like a wonderful book. Not normally the kind I like, meaning it isn't a romance LOL, but still that looks like a great book to read. I have already requested it at my library and should have it in a few days. I am looking forward to reading it.
I am done with my list and was able to read a book that started with each letter of the alphabet. I am also trying to read books from authors starting from A to Z. I have about 7 more left in that list. I look forward to some of the new challenges coming up!
Well geez Noel you are about a step a head for that with the Author is something new that we are going to be putting out there. But I started doing the same thing with the Authors LOL
And I don't know if it came through but read the last quote with a sarcastic tone and a smile on my face LOL for I am just teasing
Janine wrote: "And I don't know if it came through but read the last quote with a sarcastic tone and a smile on my face LOL for I am just teasing"I got the sarcasm and imagined the smiley face!! LOL!!
LOL Ok great. I forget a lot of times my sense of humor which is a bit dry at times, doesn't always come through when writing and well it can seem hateful at times. I wish I knew how to fix that, so I just try to make sure people know I am teasing to hopefully ease that until people know me better.

You got boys in your home don't you Noel? My sarcasm only got worse with my son LOL
Linda, I have 7 spots left to fill in on my list
Linda, I have 13 left but I am reading so I hope to make it by the end of the year.
Mod
And good luck to those who are striving to get there like myself LOL.
I just finished the challenge on Oct 4. Finally got that pesky "U"!
Mod
I have nine letters left for the A to Z challenge.
Mod
Hi Linda, it's been a fun challenge, trying to find books that start with an X and a Z. I just recently found my last book to read, and it's a mystery,and I love suspense and mystery, so I will be reading it soon.
Mod
I finished with A to Z book Challenge today-Oct.23, 2014..yay!
Mod
I did this challenge for another book club this year and when it came to Q, XYZ we were allowed to use a book that had those letters anywhere in the title. So for example we could use The Red Queen, for Q. Just helped make the selections easier I think.I will do this for 2015.
