Welcome to the challenge, Mandy! Just so you know, any books you've already read this year can count for the letters in this challenge.

Thanks for the suggestion, Amy! Do you feel like readers need to read the Sue Grafton books in order, or can you pick them up anywhere? My dad used to read them, but I never got started on them.

Completed my selection for "Y" - The Young Elites by Marie Lu. I really enjoyed the concept of this book, but there were some serious problems with the execution. There were big gaps in the plot and some key scenes were rushed over. All in all, I was not impressed, and will not continue the series. 2.5 stars
