Started E, go me. I'm winning.

G completed, ironically read to give me C in my one-word a-z.

:P `'``

And here I was going to read entirely different books, if I did the As to Zs.

What did you think of Cinnamon?

It was sweet, some clever word play. One review said the tiger was scary but I didn't think so.

You are so good!

Wweellllllll...........
Now maybe not.
;D

Have you started one?

F, what an amazing but sad book.

Selby is Welsh! Awesome.

I'm on my fifth B :(

I think I've read 3 or 4 B's as well!

I've read quite a few 'M's and when I look at my to-read list, most of them are repeated letters.

I read the Grisha trilogy and followed it with her other book Six of Crows. Fantasy does seem to come in sets!

On A, that's number 8.

Helen you should have told me about this challenge! I could have done one too:)

Justine, open one up. Date it back to January 1st. There's a genre one too.

I've read nine books by B authors!

Helen wrote: "I've read nine books by B authors!"

Wow! Which authors/books?

Morning Star
Shadow and Bone
Siege and Storm
Ruin and Rising
Six of Crows
The Darkest Minds
Never Fade
In The Afterlight
Through the Dark

You´re definitely rocking it xd But you´re not updating your main list! Bad girl.

I've put everything that qualifies on it. I haven't done any other letters.

[book:Nev..."

Wow, that is impressive!

But didn't help my challenge!

J done, plus another A.

And another B, Wake of Vultures

:) Helen, you rock this challenge. Good job!

I'd do better if I didn't keep reading the same letters ;)

I hear ya! Taking on new series really doesn't help to complete this challenge!

Dan wrote: "I hear ya! Taking on new series really doesn't help to complete this challenge!"

This is how I feel! I'm trying to get some letters done, but I'm starting all these series that I want to finish now. Codex Alera, The Dark Tower, The Red Queen's War, and Malazan are all ones I want to continue and I've only completed 9 letters. Not to mention all the other series on my to-read list I have yet to finish!

I know 23 books but only 9 count :(

11 :)

16

On C

Wow - you'll be done soon at this rate!

Fast and furious.

The one word title a-z that I started 18 months ago is at a stand still.

Helen wrote: "The one word title a-z that I started 18 months ago is at a stand still."

Well I'm not surprised! It's hard enough to find ANY A-Z with certain letters, let alone one word titles! Good luck :)

Yes, I have Z Q J and two others to go. I do have books lined up just not ones I want to read. I think N.

Woo, 18 done.

Good going!

You'll pull it off by the end of the year.

It definitely gets more and more difficult the further you go.. That's why I tried to get the ones I wasn't as excited to read done first

"Z" could be next.........

Lol. Are you reading it? Again?

Of course!
I want to join in properly.

Couldn't resist seeing which letters I was doing:

A 8
B 11
C 1
D 3
E 2 but 3000 pages!
F 2
G 2
H 10
J 1
K 2
M 10
N 3
O 2
P 1
S 6
T 2
W 3

So there we have it!

Hmm, I'm missing one
