How's everyone doing with this? :) Just updated mine, a bit behind on keeping track. Read many more than on my list by they start with the same letter :). Need to be better about finding books to add to the list.

I sometimes run into that as well. Try different authors or different titles from the same author. Over the years I've even typed keywords in my library's search engine to see what I can find words like "Yours" or "Very" etc..

It does seem to happen that way, doesn't it? Or I end up with a lot of same letter author names. I usually end up with enough books to fill the list by the end of the year though. My problem is remembering to shelve them on the challenge shelf!

I have all these issues too - remembering to keep track and trouble finding books for some letters. I finally have a use for the library's search by Title A-Z feature!

So do novellas count or do they have to be full-length? :)

They count for me! And Goodreads counts them as a book read, so...

Thanks Manda! :)
