I'm done, my books are at message 6. 🥳🥂Congratulations to everyone who made it and good luck to the ones who are still in, see you at the next challenge!

Congrats to you! That is a cool, diverse list. We both read Cosby and Hill. I loved those books. Among my favorite reads of the year.

Thank you so much :)
It was my first book by S.A. Cosby, and I definitely want to read more of him.
And it was also the first time I read short stories by Hill and decided I like his short stories more than the longer work, unluckily he doesn't have many.
Glad you enjoyed them too!

CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉

Congratulations on the accomplishment.
Thank you Badseedgirl, to you too! I'm amazed by your double challenge but intrigued whether I should try it next year 🙄
I anticipate completing my KU A-Z Challenge by the end of the year. I have picked all the books I plan to read. I hope I'm able to get to them all!

Oh yeah I've definitely seen some other books people have in their lists that sounded good to me so I'm excited to see what more I can get done!
I have 5 to go still (including 2 with the Danish letters Æ and Å). I'm struggling big time finding an Q, V, and X book that catch my attention, have several I had to but away because they didn't get the right hold on me
V, X and Y are the toughest for my part. I've spent a lot of time struggling to find interesting titles. I'm still due X and Y to complete the challenge.
I have a title with x in it, but I'll never get to it this year. I'm still a few behind.... Maybe next year!

I read The Queen of the Cicadas for Q and it was pretty good. Queen of Teeth by Hailey Piper would work too.
Mr. X by Peter Straub is what I'm planning on reading for X, and Vampires, Zombies, & Mojo Men by Ronald Kelly was really good for V.
Good luck!
Marie wrote: "I am almost done - I have two more books to go. Probably going to be down to the wire. lol :)"I still have 2 left also!
Seb wrote: "V, X and Y are the toughest for my part. I've spent a lot of time struggling to find interesting titles. I'm still due X and Y to complete the challenge."Heya Seb! I'm going to read Mr. X by Peter Straub for X. I read The Yellow Wallpaper for Y. It's a short story so even if you didn't like it you wouldn't waste much time. Good luck!
I'm reading You Better Watch Out: A Christmas Horror Comedy for my Y so it leaves me with X. I could move around my Every Time We Meet at the Dairy Queen, Your Whole Fucking Face Explodes and look for an E instead, if it comes to that.FWIW Every Time We Meet at the Dairy Queen, Your Whole Fucking Face Explodes is suitable for a Q too.
If you're into Bizarro, there's Quicksand House by CM3 as well. And for V I read the Bizarro collection The Very Ineffective Haunted House

Definitely down to the wire! lol :))
So the two letters I have left are "J" and "Q". But I remember what they have on the front page of this challenge is that Q, X, and Z can be anywhere in the title. I have a book for J - which is this one I need to read yet: Justified- it is in a crime series I am reading. For the letter Q - I have about three choices:
A Queen's Spy
or
Squeal
or
Squall
For the letter "Y" which I just used the other day I read this one by Ann Rule: You Belong to Me and Other True Cases
For "Q" I just read Quicksand Question, The by Ron Roy. It is a children's book but it was still pretty good. Only about 80 pages.
