One of the reading challenges people were doing in the Friends and Fiction Facebook Group was the alphabet challenge. The challenge was to read a book that started with each letter of the alphabet A-Z. At the end of October, I decided to see how many letters I managed to read so far this year. It turns out I had 4 letters left K, Q, X, and Z. Since I already read Sue Grafton's alphabet previously, I had to find other books that started with those letters.
Between my kindle and the Libby app, I managed to find 3. I put the 4th on hold at the library. I finished the challenge a few weeks later.
Here are the books I read this year for the alphabet challenge
A -- All Summer Long by Dorothea Benton FrankB -- The Breakaway by Jennifer WeinerC -- The Cloisters by Katy HaysD - Dear Carolina by Kristy Woodson HarveyE -- Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura DaveF -- Forever, Interrupted by Tara Jenkins ReidG -- Girls in White Dresses by Jennifer CloseH -- The House of Eve by Sadeqa JohnsonI - Iona's Iverson's Rules For Cummuting by Clare PooleyJ -- Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina LaurenK-- The Keeper of Secrets by Julie ThomasL - Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie GarmusM -- Mastering Art of French Murder by Colleen CambridgeN -- Now is Not the Time to Panic by Kevin WilsonO -- One Summer In Savannah by Terah Shelton HarrisP -- The Perfumer of Paris by Alka JoshiQ -- Quick and Dirty -- Stuart WoodsR - Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van PeltS -- The Spectacular by Fiona DavisT -- The Twelve Dogs Of Christmas by Susan WiggsU -- Unladylike Lessons in Love by Amita MurrayV -- Vinyl Moon by Mahogany BrowneW -- The Women -- Kristin HannahX -- XOXO by Axie OhY -- Yours Truly by Abbey JimenezZ -- Zoo by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge
When I created this list, I tried to pick the one of the most recent books I read that started with each letter with a few exceptions. Some books were such amazing books that I had to share them.
My favorite was Remarkably Bright Creatures. Girls in White Dresses was probably my least favorite.
I challenge you to the Alphabet challenge. You can choose to do it in a year or maybe it will take you two or more years. Next year, I think I want to do a middle grade or picture book Alphabet Book challenge. There are some really good picture books out there.
