Chad wrote: "Two down. Many to go!"Well done Chad!
Finally got around to linking up everyone, and dont' forget there is also an A-Z Authors Challenge!
How is everyone doing on this challenge?
Not as well as you!! Congratulations. I have read 8/26 so far. Wait! I just finished Agnes Grey so 9/26.
Pretty good - 19 of 26, but now I have to choose some books deliberately with the letters I have left!
Well done Lynne and Kathy, hope you're enjoying it! xx
Thanks for asking, Jazzy! I had not entered any yet. I find I only have 9 of 26 letters covered -- some multiple times! Fortunately I have some started a few that will cover different letters.
That's fab, Annette! Most importantly Do have fun with it xx
I finished the challenge! It was fun.
Congratulations, Rosemarie! It is a fun challenge. I have about 75 pages of Jenny Wren left to finish before I’m done.
Glad you had fun Rosemarie!!! yes Kathy, you can do it!
Well done Rosemarie & Kathy - you finished with time to spare!
