Welcome Jodi, hope all is well up in Indiana. Enjoy reading through the alphabet, I just started this challenge today, i am a bit late for a book of the month, so in april i will choose a letter and we will read a book that starts with it. It will kind of help us through the alphabet lol. Books will be voted on.

Hello y'all. I'm Lacey from Louisiana. Linda, I love this idea and can't wait to get started. I am always looking for people to discuss the books I have read with.

Hi! I'm Fiona too, in Seattle. I am making this my year to read. This is a fun challenge. Thanks for getting it started!
I tend to enjoy books about WW2 or Medieval England, at least for the moment, but I'm open to anything.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you are all reading.
I'll post my list when I get a chance.

Welcome Fiona from Seatlle. i hope you enjoy reading through the alphabet with us through the year. Have a great day.

Hello All! I am a friend of Fiona's and live in a small town outside of Seattle. I read all different genres of books and love finding new and interesting books that I wouldn't have chosen myself.
Reading is a passion of mine and always have a book handy just in case.
I have already posted my list and would love some suggestions for the letters I don't have completed.
Have an amazing day!!

Hey y'all. My name is Brenda. I am 61 and I live in North-Central Florida. Not sure if I can even remember the books I have read this year. Right now I am just finishing book 2 of a 4 book set called The Peacemaker Series. I am waiting on the author (who is a friend of mine) to finish editing book 4 for me to read.

Hello Brenda. welcome to A to Z. How are things up in Florida? Bet its Hot Hot Hot, just like down here in Louisiana lol. Have a great weekend.

Hi, I'm Veronica, I'm from New Jersey, and I am over 50,I love reading so far this year I might just have the first 10 letters of A-Z list .....when I compile my list I will contact you again Linda on how to add the books to the list.

Welcome Veronica.Hope you enjoy reading through the alphabet with us. Have a blessed day.

Gonna give this a try...especially since I can use books read from beginning of year. I hope to have my list posted soon. I live in Maine.

Welcome Rachael, Happy Reading, good luck reading through the alphabet. Have a blessed evening

Thanks...this sounds like fun!

Thanks for inviting me to join! I am from Texas and this group sounds like fun. I have been working on a few challenges through another group and one is an A-Z challenge, but I read a lot, so will probably try to do new books that are not on the other list (for the most part) for this list! We'll see how that goes.

Welcome Brittany, hope you enjoy reading through the alphabet and the books of the month. I have each letter individually because members were not able to edit there lists. So each letter has a listing and its also a way to see what others have read with that letter. in case you are searching for a book starting with a particular letter . Have a great evening and Happy Reading :)

Thanks Linda!

wow i am totally late to this party.. i just got the invite.. my name is Mia.. i love christian fiction :) when did this challenge start. where do i start just coming in?

Mia just jump in where ever you want. Go through your book list and see what letters you have read and what you need. We have a monthly single book read and the monthly series read that you can join in. Any conversion jump in if you have something to say and welcome to the group. Where are you from? I am in Missouri and right at the moment an empty nester but preparing to have my child come home from the army and he will be staying with me for a little while LOL.

Hi Jannie, thanks for info :) i am in Florida. have a soon to be 2yr old daughter.. i am a stay at home mom. my husband works and is taking college classes.. so i have lots of time to read.. gets kinda lonely at time lol.. books help me pass the time..

Hello Mia, glad you joined us. Like Janine said just feel free to jump in on any challenge, and let us know if you read any good books. Will be posting Pick it For me for September soon.. Have a blessed evening.

Hey Janine i didn't know you had a son in the army. Praying for his safety and thank him for his faithful service.. When is he coming Home? I bet you can't wait.

My name is Kim. I live in Arkansas. I'm a stay at home mom with two daughters, ages 8 and 2. I read a lot, especially while waiting to pick my oldest up from school. Not sure I can complete this challenge or not, but I'm going to give it my best shot!

Hi Kim welcome and so glad to see you making yourself at home :D. You know this challenge is really against yourself so try and do what you can and enjoy the rest of the group.

Linda, yeah my baby has been in the Army for the last three and a half years. (Hint you young parents, don't even in humor, tell your kids that once they are 18 and graduated then they are out the door. I told that to my Alex all the time joking with him, and he took me serious for he left for BCT ten days later.) I have been very blessed that my son, though he came within weeks of a deployment, has never been deployed. When he is going to be home frankly is going to depend on the Army's timeline of wait, wait, wait, ok get ready, wait, wait, pack your stuff, wait, wait, wait, there is more paperwork, wait, wait, wait, ok unpack, wait, okay now go. So it is a waiting game though it should be somewhere between mid Sept until Christmas time. I downsized when he moved to his base into a one bedroom apartment so I now have to make room for him and his stuff, until he gets on his feet and moves out again. I love my child, I really do and would do anything for him, but I love my peace and quiet too that I have gotten use to. Does that make sense LOL.

Kim, welcome. I'm getting from your lists that you are a Debbie Macomber fan (at least a little!). :) Personally I've only gotten around to reading a couple of her books which I really enjoyed. When Cedar Cove came on the Hallmark Channel my hubby thought it looked like something I'd enjoy so every week he gets me to sit with him and watch. I have most of the books that go with it, but I haven't read any of them yet. Do you watch the show and do you think they are doing a good job on it?
