Sarabi, Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig. This one is on my list for 'K' and hoping to finish this month.

I didn't realize how few books I find that have titles begging with the letter K

Hi! I thought I'd see how far I can still go before 2016 on this alphabet soup challenge. I'm from Finland so I had to add a couple letters in the end. :) And some of the titles will be in Finnish. I will post the title in what language I read the book in. :)

Welcome, Julia! I love the extra letters to accommodate your native language. Great idea!

[Julia]

I might just finish this challenge by the end of the year! I've tackled 4 books this month and have 2 more on my bedside table.. I like the challenge, it has made me pick up a few books that I wouldn't have read otherwise!
But I also think it's a little too easy since the letters that are the hardest in English are pretty common in Finnish and vice versa.. Maybe I'll just pick one language for the next alphabet soup ;)

Thanks for the suggestion! The book seems interesting, I just might take it up!

Wow! Great job and good luck :) I think it's interesting that the challenge is easier with multiple languages. I feel like more books would make it so much harder, haha.

I just opened the thread for the 2016 Alphabet Soup thread, so I'm moving the 2015 alphabet Soup thread to the Mini-Challenge Archive. Please feel free to update there as you have the opportunity. Although the year is over, members may need time to finish recording their data. And of course we want to celebrate every completed challenge!
