Time Frame: 01 January 2022 - 31 December 2022

* When you've finished a book rate & date it.
* You can change your books and level at any time.
* No minimum page requirement.

Levels:

Easy: Mixed list - Either the title of the book/series it belongs to or the author's name (first, middle or last) has to start with the letter. (26 books)

Medium: Non-mixed list - Only titles/series names or only author names count (pick one or the other). (26 books)

Special rules for X (all levels): When using titles, any word in the title/series name may start with X. When using authors, there must be an X somewhere in the name, does not have to start with it.

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

I’ll go for medium - book titles. Had an epic reading slump this year - need to get going again in 2022. The list will change (it always does). But this is my starting point. Its a weird mix - but they’re all books i have in the house.

[Cindie Bennett]

First time doing a challenge like this. I will try the medium list. Title Names ( I do not count The & A as the first letter).

I am strictly an audiobook kinda person. I do not have the quiet time in my life anymore to pick a book up and physically read it (I WISH I DID!) I primarily listen to Mysteries, Psychological Thrillers, Suspense, Self-Help, and an occasional Romance. I prefer serial killer series the most. Always looking for recommendations
