I saw this challenge over at Incessant Bookworm, and decided to join immediately since I already have to do a similar scavage hunt for the 2017 Beat The Backlist challenge. The challenge is hosted at Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book and is another yearly challenge. Bacially, by the end of the year, your bowl has to be filled with one book for each letter of the alphabet!
Each letter will count as 1 spoonful, and the challenge is to read one book that has a title with every letter of the alphabet. The A’s and The’s can be dropped from the book titles to make things easier. Also, the Q, X and Z titles can have words that start with the letter anywhere in the title. I’m not going to make a list beforehand, and just see how things go… Although I will probably have to hunt for the more difficult letters later on.
On to the list:

A: Anything For Her – by Jack Jordan (2015)

This is a great challenge. I made most letters last year, but didn’t ty hard enough to complete it (Q, V, and Y got me). Good luck and I can’t wait to see what you come up with for the tricky ones.

Those will definitely be complicated! I actually just DNFed an Y (You), but I’m definitely worried about the Q, X and Z.

I read the sequel to you, and can see why you DNF’d. It’s an odd one.. I used the A is for Alibi series for the X (That book is just titled X). It wasn’t that great though.. Good luck!

Hmm I will stay away from that one then. And thanks for the rec on an X title; I’ll keep it as a reserve.

Good luck with that one! I think I only managed to finish it once, the other two years were a bummer. Plus I did the A-Z Author too and also managed to finish it once.
