2013 A to Z Reading Challenge - Completed!!!

2013 A to Z Reading Challenge



Update 1/1/2014 - I finished. Most were excellent books. I had to break my rule once about no the to get a Q book.

Rules: This challenge will run from January 1, 2013 until December 31, 2013.
You can join anytime.

In 2012, I read both authors and titles A to Z. That was a bit of a challenge. This year I wanted to do a mystery challenge that involves 30 books.  I know I will not also be able to finish a two part A to Z, but I do have fun with this type of challenge, so I'm only doing titles in 2013. 


Finally, I'm doing the it "lazy way", option B and choosing the books as they come along.
Also, because I like to make my life harder, except for X, the titles cannot start with a or the. (Yes I'm weird.)
Here is my list so far...

A - As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
B - Bleak House by Charles Dickens
C - Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
D - Dandelion Summer by Lisa Wingate
