It is the beginning of the year and the end of the year.

Examples:
C-L: The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill
E-W: Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow
H-R: The Odyssey by Homer
Scoring:
15.1 - 15.5 = 15 points
15.6 - 15.8 = 20 points
15.9 = 25 points
15.10 = 30 points

I. You cannot claim regular style points for any book you read for Alpha Omega (nor do the AO tasks count as combo style points for Reading with Style's 10 and 20 point tasks).
II. All books read for this sub-challenge must be at least 100 pages, based on the most popular edition.
III. Please be aware that cookbooks, illustrated guides, graphic novels are not allowed. Also, books designated as "YA", "Assignment", or "Juv" by the Brooklyn Public Library with a Lexile score less than 700 are not allowed.
