Thank you so much Kelsey! This book looks cute.

It would help if you mention genres you'd like to read (if that is important) so you won't get suggestions you'd never read. :)
Also I suggest checking previous years threads.. You might find some ideas ;)

Jack Vance also works if you like your sci-fi. C.S. Quinn is a good writer of historical fiction for Q. As for X... I have a book on my kindle by a British-Chinese author called Xue Xinran if you want to be a purist. Otherwise the name just having an X in it works I think.

Going from A - Z, and using authors’ first or last names, read the alphabet. For "X" and "Z" you may use authors with those hard to find letters in their names. Unless, of course, you're a ‘purist.’
Yes, you may use an author twice, once with their first name, and again with their last. In that case, you still need to read two different books.
January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017
You may read in any order, start at any time of the year. You may 'back date' to the 1st of January, if you desire.
There is another challenge that is "open-ended" (not yearly) that is posted here.
