A-Z Challenge

[Brittany]

Two versions of completing the alphabet:

First and harder one. Goal, to read through every letter in the alphabet using the first letter of the title of books (The, A, An, do not count)
For the letters Q, X, Y and Z the book title does not need to START with these letters, but one of the words in the title must start with it.

Second and easier version: Same as above but you can also use the first letter of the author's first or last name.
Ex. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black could count for C(from Cruel), H(from Holly), or B(from Black)

[Brittany]

Updated with links up to here. Good luck everyone!

[Brittany]

Looks like everyone is getting off to an excellent start!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

Updated. I've read 5 for this challenge so far. Aiming to update these yearly challenges at the end of each month. I'm a little bit late this time.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

I'm just a little over halfway there with the easy one... it's getting harder and harder to fit the books in with a letter since a bunch of them are starting to repeat for me 😅

[Brittany]

No worries Kay!

And yeah, that becomes the problem Lili

[Brittany]

I've made it up to 7 the hard way and 10 the easy way

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

Updated my challenge. I have finished 8 books for this challenge so far.

[Jessie]

Updates I've made it to 10/24 :)

[Brittany]

Well done ladies!

[Brittany]

11 the hard way 16 the easy

How is everyone else doing?

[Elena]

12 / 12 hard / easy :)

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

I'm at 18/26 for the easy way, but I haven't made much progress in a while 😅 lol

[Brittany]

Thats still awesome though Lili we are only in March!

Great job Jess

[Brittany]

I'm up to 14 the hard way and 19 the easy way!

[Elena]

@Brittany awesome!

I've just updated my post. 15 / 15 hard / easy now :)

[Teodora]

Omg everyone is doing such an amazing job! Keep it up guys!
I am 13/26 the easy way :)

[Brittany]

Great job Jess and Teodora!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

Updated mine. I'm only doing the easy way but I've finished 10 for this challenge.

[Laura ☾]

Updated - 22/26 for hard and 23/26 for easy - those pesky X and Z are getting to me haha

[Brittany]

They always do! They are very Pesky! Awesome job though Laura

[Elena]

Updated message 14, added 2 more books:

Total stats: [19/26]

[Brittany]

16 hard and 22 easy!
Ideas for X and Z anyone?

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

I have the entire series, so that would work for Z! I just haven't read any of them yet. Lol.

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I've updated mine and have even managed to get a Z one in. As I read A Mad Zombie Party by Gena Showalter I'm classing that as Z as we are allowed to have and one of the words in the title beginning with Z right?

I've finished 15/26 on the hard one; 19/26 on the easy one.

[Brittany]

Yup! Awesome Kay!

[Brittany]

I've made it to 18 hard and 23 easy just missing the pesky Q, V, X

[Elena]

Added one more :) 20/26 for both hard and easy now.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Nice job you guys! Especially on the hard!

I'm still at 18/26 for easy. Lol.

[Elena]

But it's also great, Lil!

And I'm having so much fun with all those challenges. Some of them make me pick the books I hardly ever thought I read and not regret reading it.

[Brittany]

Glad you are enjoying them Elena! I like being forced outside my box too.

[Teodora]

Update: Still 3 to go!
I actually can't believe I almost did it, even though it is the easy version! 😂

[Brittany]

That's awesome Teo! And still more than half a year to go

[Teodora]

At this rate, I think I might go for hard too 😂

[Brittany]

Do it!!
