Bookish Nerds :D discussion

Okay, I lie, this isn't a monthly challenge, despite the folder it's in. This one is for the entire year of 2015.
It's a pretty easy challenge. All you have to do is read a book for every letter of the alphabet. Or, if you want, you can choose an author for every letter, first or last names, or anything else you can think of - as long as you stick to the same thing for every letter!
So, save a progress post, and you can update during the year. You can sign up whenever you want, as long as you only add the books you've read in 2015.
So, who's in? :)

does it have to be in alphabetic order? like the first book has to be A? & is it ony based on authr?

No, you can do it in whatever order you want. And it can be author or title, up to you :)

Good afternoon!

I am a new member, having joined this morning. May I participate in this challenge? I will attempt it alphabetically by author's last name. Can I count books that I have already started and finished in 2015? Or do only books started and finished since today count? Are e-book acceptable? If I can count the former, then I'm already off to a good start. Note: Book titles not followed by a start date and status, or start and finish dates, are "in the queue".

Anyone have any ideas for books starting with x?

I'm a little late too, but oh well.

The only book I can think of that has a title beginning with X is 'Xenocide,' by Orson Scott Card. Unfortunately, it's the third book of the Ender Quartet. I'm currently at the beginning of the second book, though, so I really shouldn't complain.

You'll be fine then! Are they good books? :)

Dang it, I meant the Ender Quintet. Someone I know referred to it as the Ender Quartet once and it's thrown me off ever since.

Yes, they're among my favorites!

Maybe I'll check them out then, thanks! :)

That's the book I'm using but I'm trying to finish the series off anyway.

Good afternoon!
