2021 A-Z GROUP Challenge

[Jamie]

Alright, so this is a VERY laid back challenge. The goal is to simply read books where a word in the title, series, or author name begins with the needed letter. Start with A, work to Z. Then start over. Once a letter has been posted for it is done, we move on. Books read must be posted within 2 weeks of being read. So if you read a book that doesn't work for the current letter, maybe we can use it for another before the time is up.

Books MUST be part of a series!

We do this TOGETHER. So one person might post for A, another for B and C, someone else for C, then the first person might be back and post for D, E, & F. However it works as long as we go in order A-Z and posted within 2 weeks of finishing.

I will also allow illustrator, editors (in case of multi-author anthologies), and translator names. If just has to be a letter the title, series, or author (etc) starts with. Titles in other languages are also okay as long as it uses English letters
Exception rule: The letter x. It just has to be somewhere in one of those areas.

How many times can we make it through the alphabet before the year is over? Let's try for 21 times in honor of the year. **This may not happen and that is okay. It is just a fun challenge goal aspect and we can change it mid-year if we are way off**

*This challenge is just for fun, close to a game but I hope it builds teamwork amongst us all.**

[Jamie]

Please use the line below when posting a book so we can easily see where we are (number of stars don't have to match, just be close)

*************************FINISHED***************************
Be sure to include the date you finished the book please

Since this is a group challenge could we maybe have a chat thread for it? Or can we chat here? It would be nice to have a way to 'plan' a bit and maybe BR?

[Jamie]

Yes. One moment for chat thread.
