January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019
The Goal:
✩ Read 26 books in which the location names begin with the letters of the alphabet.
The Guidelines:
✩ A location can be as broad or as specific as you want...anything from a country (or I suppose even a planet - especially for Sci-Fi fans) down to a specific building. The one limitation is in order to qualify the name must be capitalized in normal use. For example, "amusement park" would not qualify, but "Disneyland" would.
✩ For the letter "X", any location with the letter "X" in its name is acceptable.
✩ Feel free to join the challenge any time during the year. As long as the books were read in 2019, you can go ahead and backdate.
✩ Have fun! Be sure to check out the lists of other players...it's a great way to find new TBR's!

Hi! I'm new to this challenge, so I'm sorry if this question has been discussed years before. Does the location count if it's only mentioned (hero/heroine grew up there or visited or plan to visit), but it's not the place plot takes action? :)

I'm so sorry I missed your question and haven't responded sooner!
Great question! I will say that it is up to you. Since it's not explicitly stated in the directions, I would say it's your decision as to how you would like to define the challenge as to location- actually went there or just mentioned in the story :)
So I’m down to just Q and Z. Would New Zeeland count for Z? These two are tough.

After conferring with the other Mods, we have decided to leave the location rules as they are for this year- first letter of the location- so it would have to be ‘N’ for New Zealand. I’m sorry!
But you’ve raised a great question and we are going to reassess the rules for next year :)

Will there be a A-Z location challenge for 2020?
Hi Cyliena!We are not running the A-Z Location Challenge for 2020- it may be back for 2021 :)

Thanks for the info, Fran. I shall hope for its return in 2021, then! :) I do second the comment from earlier this year that the letters Q and Z are exceptionally hard-to-find for locations.
Congratulations to everyone who met their challenge goal this year and Great Job to everyone who tried the challenge and did what they could. As long as you had fun, then it was a success!

Duration: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019
The Goal:
✩ Read 26 books in which the location names begin with the letters of the alphabet.
The Guidelines:
✩ A location can be as broad or as specific as you want...anything from a country (or I suppose even a planet - especially for Sci-Fi fans) down to a specific building. The one limitation is in order to qualify the name must be capitalized in normal use. For example, "amusement park" would not qualify, but "Disneyland" would.
✩ For the letter "X", any location with the letter "X" in its name is acceptable.
✩ Feel free to join the challenge any time during the year. As long as the books were read in 2019, you can go ahead and backdate.
✩ Have fun! Be sure to check out the lists of other players...it's a great way to find new TBR's!
✩Feel free to update your posts if you like, but please repost when you complete the challenge - it makes tracking so much easier and reduces the chance that your accomplishment will be missed!
