I plan on using this rule! For each letter A through Z, read a book where the author's name (first or last) begins with that letter. For the hard letters Q, X, Y and Z, you may use a book in which the letter is found anywhere in the author's name.

I have one question of technical nature :)How do we log authors that are present by their stage name like Moliere? His real name is Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, but on Goodreads it's Moliere. Do I log M or J/P?
By pen name?
First book for this has been completed. yay

Thanks, Nike!
I finished the challenge! November 14
Done! All 26. And I created a list of potential reads if I do a similar challenge (but I didn’t add them to Mt TBR -- yet).
Again here I am with more hope than confidence, but I'll give it a try.A-Z Authors
