The Quiet Book
Queen of Babble
The Queen of Attolia
Quentins
Quartet in Autumn
The Quincunx
Quinn
Queen Hereafter: A Novel of Margaret of Scotland
Quarantined
Quidditch Through the Ages. (this one's quite short so IDK if it counts but it's the only one of these I've read and is fun if you like Harry Potter.

Z books (in case you feel like reading something possibly non-zombie related):
Zoo
Zoo City
Zorro
Zeitoun
Z for Zachariah
Z For Zachariah
I haven't a clue why there are 2 books by that rather unique name but there are! I got a little Listopia happy...I hope you're able to find a couple of books you'll enjoy. =)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

For Q I read and pretty good series :)

[Victoria]

Great job, Katy!

Thanks Katy :-). I hope we all get them done :-).

[Katy]

I'm hoping this will keep me more focused on what I intend to read...not that it stopped me from impulsively downloading a bunch of books with repetitive letters. (Who ever realized so many books start with A or I?) I have multiples of quite a few letters!

We're not really strict on rules here. This is meant to be FUN!!! ;-)

[Karen’s Library]

Katy, that's my problem every year! I seem to wait until December every year to look for books with my missing letters. At this point, I'm reading ALL duplicates! I made note of Melissa's J! J's seem to be hard for me! :)

Haha! Fair enough!

It does look good... Plus, people seem to like it a lot for the most part... So, maybe I'll read it. I'll add it to my ever expanding to-read list anyway.

I might grab a copy of The Young Elites just so I can read my "Y" book and call this challenge done (I haven't posted an update, but I finished my "X" book a few days ago, so "Y" is my only remaining letter). Besides, it does look like a pretty good book...


I published a "Y" book in January, but don't like to count my own books; I don't mark them as read, nor rate and review them, let alone count them for challenges. If you get stuck though, Yua And The Great Wizard Hunt might be an option for you.
