This year we're returning to the A-Z challenge using the titles of books that must start with each letter of the alphabet. An exception is being made for Q, X, Z. For these letters, the books may include them anywhere in the title.

The books for this challenge do NOT have to be HORROR books, they can be anything you like!

Sign up here: https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/...

Use this thread to track your progress and to list the books you're using for each letter.

Happy reading, Aficionados!

Thank you for correcting Stephanie, I first noted the titles only without authors and must have been confused then. There were so many more titles on my list, among them Harlem Shuffle. It was really hard to narrow down, but at some point I was thinking on doing a double challenge.
I like your (half) list too :), The Fisherman is one of my all time favorites, I hope you enjoy it.

Stephanie Griffin | 97 comments Well, Blacktop Wasteland is one of MY favorites so I hope YOU enjoy it! 😊

Anja Henriksen | 147 comments ** status update December 28th - I did it! Wasn't sure I made it with my last entry as I (and the while family) became sick with stomach flue and reading wasn't really an option lol, but feeling much better and got ny last story, my V story, Viral Lives a novella by Felix Dimaro done today ❤️
See you all in the next year, happy New Year! 🎇

* status update December 13th, reading my Å now, and still have my Q and V left. I'm optimistic though :D

I'm trying to go for 29 - including my native language's (danish) letters Æ, Ø, Å using the same rule about just being a part of title. I'm not especially confident I'll reach the goal, as I don't like reading books in Danish, but a challenge isn't supposed to be easy all the way right? Lol

Question: is it a common rule here that titles starting with 'The' it's the word after that counts for first letter?

A: The Adversary
B: Bus Driver Man
C: Carnivore
D: Don't Kill the Dog: A Short Horror Story
E: Echo
F: The Family Upstairs
G: The Ghosts of Northgate: Book 2 of The Ghosts of Northgate trilogy
H: Hex
I: The Inheritance
J: Just Like Mother
K: Kisscut
L: Left to You
M: Man, Fuck This House
N: Nothing But Blackened Teeth - (hate this one with a passion)
O: One by One
P: Pieces of Her
Q: The Masque of the Red Death (i listened to the audiobook, but admittedly I think my mind might have drifted away, ad I didn't see the ending coming...need to do it again some day)
R: The Rats
S: Stolen
T: Twelve Nights at Rotter House
U: Undone
V: Viral Lives
W: The Woman in the Woods
X: Exits A collection of contemporary urban legends
Y: Your Life or Mine
Z: Baker's Dozen
Æ: Savnede Sjæle ( The Missing Ones
Ø: Ø
Å: Stjålne Piger ( The Stolen Girls )

Thanks! I’m also on a book non-buying challenge so I had to pick from books I already own! Which made it pretty easy. I figure I’ll put a little check mark or something next to a title after I actually read it.

Yes, it's a common rule for English that definite and indefinite articles (the, a, an) are excluded for alphabetization purposes.
