Rules
Duration: January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016
You can read in any order you wish.
Although we are a YA Book Club, for this challenge, if you wish, you can read adult books as well, as long as at least 50% of the books read are young adult.
You have 12 months to read 26 books.
Either the first word in the title of the books or the author’s name (first or last) should correspond with a letter in the alphabet.
You should omit “a” and “the” in the titles.
Letters Q, X and Z can be positioned anywhere in the titles or author names.
Everything should be done on this thread - your questions, your plans, your progress.
Examples: C - The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, D - Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
Happy reading!
