So glad I'm done with the list. I deliberately didn't opt for more choices as I get confused later. I will try and stick to these. I have all these books with me except for the X one. So this challenge'll put a decent hole in my TBR.

Join the club! I'm unlikely to manage more than the first round, but, like you, wanted to give myself the option.

I know, that's so unfair... *I hope meanie's not listening*. :-p

1. Author’s last name.
2. First word of the Title (exclusive of words such as a, an, the, etc.)
3. First name of the author.
4. Setting by country.
5. Author’s country.
6. Main character’s name (either first or last).
7. A combination of the above tasks but in your favourite genre!

I heard that! LOL!

I don't know that I will get past round 1 either, but there is always a chance :)

:D Janice

I know Amy. Hope makes the world go round. Let's try!

Alright my books are ready. Now someone say 'Get, set, go!'

The count down is on... One week left to go.

:)

Finished Crewel by Gennifer Albin. Now onto the next.

One down! Way to do. :)

Fantastic list! Good luck! : )

Yay, Janice. :)

Thanks, Connie!

Yay, Pragya! Great start!

Thanks, Kat. Now if only I can maintain it.

3 books off my list. Now onto D..Hmm..what to read? As usual, I'm straying from my list, too moody to stick to it.

You can stray, just as long as you keep coming back. :)

Ah yes, Janice, I'll surely be coming back to it. What I meant was that I'm not going by the list I planned. I'm reading other books for the challenge and leaving my poor already made list behind. This is the reason why I don't make lists unlike the other super-organizers in the group.

Lists are like rules - they are meant to be broken. :)

Wait a minute! Did I actually say that?

Great start on your alphabet Pragya. Some interesting books on your list.

Do you have another book to use for your X title? I noticed your S author book title is Xor.

I've read both of your O options. Remember 200 page minimum - Buddha is shorter than that - Meany might penalize you for that :~). Madness is good, but slow in places, and not what I expected. There's not a lot of emphasis on researching madness and cures for it - I had been looking forward to that part.

LOL Janice.

Thanks Jmom! Oh yes, Xor! Hmm, good point, I should find another one.

Uh oh, need to check the page count. I am looking forward to Book of Madness and Cures, let's see what I feel.

That's the only one I don't have yet, Judy. Hope it's good since I'm going to add to my TBR list with that. ;)

I have the same books for X, also. It sounds interesting. Good list, Pragya!

Thank you, Debra.

C - by Liz Coley

Oh I need to read that one soon - what did you think?

Kat, I didn't really like it. The most I can give this book is 2 stars (it was ok). I think the plot was nothing novel and the book was very predictable.

Finished reading book for E - . Didn't like it as much as I had hoped. Now what to read for F?

Oh, that's too bad Pragya. I hope your next books are better!

Hopefully I won't spoil it for anyone, but I actually didn't think that she handled the DID very well - I've read several non-fiction books about it, and the work that the counsellor did, didn't really ring true to me.

Ah well, plenty of other books in the library ;)

Exactly! And imagine my horror when I have to read something like this. I am a Clinical Psychologist! I'm glad you felt it too. I thought I was expecting too much professional behavior out of a fiction book.

Thanks, Jmom! Hoping so too.
