A to Z Challenge - Stage Edition 2019

[Kadijah Michelle]

A-Z CHALLENGE - STAGE EDITION
Duration: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019

We are bringing back our popular A to Z challenge again for another year, but this year will have a twist. Read a book for each letter of the alphabet that has been adapted to a Movie, Television, or Stage Show (please post the year and type of the adaptation for credit). You can use ANY of the first letters of the main words in a title of a book (don't use words like "a", "the", "or", and "of").

Examples:
A - Anne of Green Gables (1985 TV Series)
F - The Fellowship of the Ring (2001 Movie)
X - The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1986 Opera)
Etc.


Happy Reading!

[Kadijah Michelle]

How to Participate

1. Post here telling the Challenge Leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active. You must choose a goal for the challenge.

2. Whenever you finish a book for the challenge, post here and let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress.
---Please be sure to post the number of books you have completed every time you post an update. The Challenge Leader is not able to keep track for you because of the number of participants in the challenge.

3. Some members choose to update their original post with their progress to keep track of their challenge more easily, but make sure to also post a new message so the Challenge Leader knows to go look at your original post. You can look at how other members report their progress to find a strategy that works well for you.

Example:
message 32 updated! 2/25 books read!

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.

PS. Please do not delete posts! It makes updating very confusing for the Moderators! If you decide to leave the challenge, please just let us know. You can edit your original post to say {redacted}. Thank you!

Hi Kadijah, how about words like "letting",..."

"letting," and "have" are fine if you are stuck, "is" is not.

Susy wrote: "I'll be aiming to read books that will come out as movies in
2019
(ánd watching the movie as well). I will try for a minimum of 10 (the ones that have a specific date already).."

I noticed I started off a bit too enthusiastically on all the challenges, so I decided to cut down to 10 in this challenge seeing that I don't want to have the whole year fully booked again...
