I love this, as I am doing an A-Z Challenge on my blog! It is such a great idea :) http://megzmaddreadz.blogspot.com/p/b...
there's my list. It's a very tentative list.
Gis, I no longer see directions for "friends" books. Can we no longer use our friends for our poison? If we can, would you please tell me the directions again?
Hey Vicki! I don't think Gisbelle is online at the moment so I'll help ya! It's still posted on there but here's the directions:D
f. Friend: use your GR friends’ first name to complete this challenge. Read the books in their shelves (TBR is preferred, but any shelves will do). Letters Q, X and Z can be positioned anyway in their names.
e.g.
A: Annie: Far from Xanadu
B: Billy: Smile for Me
...
Does that help?
