Austen Lovers TBR Challenge 2021 discussion

Back in 2015 I challenged myself to read JAFF books based on titles starting with A-Z. Since it was my game, I allowed a title that started with Elizabeth for Z and a first word with "Ex" as in Expecting his Proposal, for X. I'm going to try it again this year. I managed 23/26 letters last time, missing N, Q and Y according to my Goodreads shelf. I hope to get all 26 this year once again allowing the exceptions for X and Z, unless anyone has suggestions for those. I'm all ears.

This is a running list that I will update when I finish a book.

A - Amanda, a contemporary retelling of Emma by Debra White Smith
B - The Best of Relations by Catherine Bilson
C - Conceit & Concealment by Abigail Reynolds

Wow! Wishing you good reading. :)

Kim, great start - all set up to fill in the titles - interesting and challenging way to do it. Go, girl.

I have a master list set up for an ABC Challenge as well as lists to keep track of the different libraries for my Reading Challenge too. I find it helpful to set up the master list at the beginning of the year to keep track of it easier. I also have ABC Challenges listed under my overall reading challenge as well. Some of the letters I have Goodreads Lists made for the letters that I have links for in my Challenge comment. My record so far is 18 letters in 2019.

I love all of your lists! So organized. I'm going to try to keep everything here as I read it. I also have Goodreads shelves for every year that I've done the Austenesque challenge and my last A-Z challenge too.

I keep three lists: one is the books I have read in the order in which I read them for that year with the ratings I give them. I also keep those same books in an alphabetical list on the same page, which makes it easier to find a book for that year. Then I have a "Master Alphabetical List" of all the books I have read over the years here on Goodreads. I use it to see if I have read a book at all. With so many to borrow I do try to read new ones most of the time.
