The Lost Challenges discussion

Pick Your Poison



This challenge is based off another great yearly challenge "M25 and 'Magical' Motorways" Challenge

Goal: You must link the author's names to the first/last letter. i.e.; Yasmine Galenorn, Gail Carriger, Carolyn Jewel, Jeaniene Frost, etc. The author name chain cannot be broken. Must link all 5 books within each set AND between sets.

The chain must follow the order, but you do not have to read in order.

Rules: You pick your 5 genres, and 5 books in each genre. You can be as vague or specific as you want. ie romance-vs-paranormal romance or mystery-vs-cozy mystery. It is all up to you.

*Rereads are allowed.

*Three anthologies are allowed but the core of the work must meet the theme requirement for that 'circle'. These are your 'Free Spin' tokens as you are permitted to use any of the authors who have work in the collection.

Duration: One year from start date

Post your lists now, but be sure to come back and repost when you mark your books as read.
