The Alphabet Challenge 2019

[Alaina]

We had one of these last year, so let's see if anyone can make it through this time around.

Option One: Read books with titles starting with each letter of the alphabet. (Length, type, ignoring "the" in titles is purely up to each individual.)

Option Two: Read books by authors whose name (first or last, depending on what you decide) starts with each letter of the alphabet.

This is just a fun challenge so no pressure to complete and no rules about lengths, if they can be poetry, manga, graphic novels, all of that is up to you. So however you decide to do it is fine.

Alright I am going for option one I think, Titles, except i am going to do two lists one for classics and one for contemporaries. I think this year over all i am going to try to read the longer books and classics. that is why my 2019 book challenge is only 100 books. Ok so here we go!
Classics
A- Alice in Wonderland, Around the World in Eighty Days,

B- The Book thief,the Bruno Johnson Trilogy, The Born Evil trilogy

C- Call of the Wild, Cracked classics 6books in one volume,
Captive
D- Dracula
