LOLWell bright side you can use both their first and last names if you haven't already used the letter. I'm going to do that with A after reading Soul Eater Vol. 7, I'm just putting the book that I read next to the author so it shows two different books.
Maybe next year we should add an anti alphabet challenge. The letter can't be anywhere in the title, that could help use up dubs.

Great job!

I have completed 20 titles and 22 authors. I have a list of books to finish both categories. It’s reading them that’s difficult. I keep reading other books instead!
Great you're so close to finishing both, Nancy. Hope you can focus on reading the books you need soon.I just need two more for my title challenge. Then I'm done with both.

Thanks Victoria. I hope I can get it together. I don’t think I have ever not finished one of the A-Z challenges.

Thanks, Karen!
Also, great job with your challenges so far... You got this too. :)
I have three titles and two authors left to go! I need a title starting with Q....
Everything else I have a book planned already. I might change my V author. I am reading another book and the last author’s name actually starts with a V instead of a V in the name somewhere.
