ALPHABET SOUP READING CHALLENGE discussion

How are you doing on your Challenge?

I've got 12 spoonfuls so far!

Right now i only have 4 spoonfuls working on 5th this week

13 down and counting!

Right now I have 4 spoonfuls.

Right now I have 5 spoonfuls but I'm working on it.

I have 8 plus 3 doubles that just came up on my tbr list. I try not to double up on letters of the alphabet but so far it's happened a few times :-)

I have 6 and am working on 7! Good luck everyone and happy reading!!

I have 4, I'm spreading them throughout the year. :)

I have 6 read and working on my 7th - which I am having trouble finding time to read without falling asleep.

I'm on a roll. 12 so far.

I have 16! I need E, H, J, O, Q, T, U, X, Y, Z.

I'm doing pretty good on mine. Not counting repeat letters, I've got 16 so far. Still need: B, G, J, N, O, Q, V, X, Y, Z.

Good luck to everyone.

I have 10 spoonfuls

I've read three that are on my official list and am planning to post reviews on my blog through the summer.

This is the 3rd year I've been doing this challenge. I love it.

Got 19 so far. Set up a bookshelf and have been keeping track there.

I've gotten 8 spoonfuls

Finally finished by I book. I have been falling asleep early and not reading.

I've got 12 letters covered so far. I have my list here if anybody is interested: http://www.bookpunks.com/2015-reading...

I#d love to see links to your lists too, if you're keeping them.

I've only got 4 left and have books selected to fill them already.

Here's a link to my shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I have 8 spoonfuls so far.

I am just starting, but I am sure I can get some filled quickly. I am on summer break, and I read more in the summer. One advantage I have is that many of you already have found some great books, and I will be able to find some of the letters by seeing your good choices!!!

Three spoonfuls to go! N, P and T to go

I'm down to 1 to go--and I already know what I'm going to read for Y.

Great job Hilary and Teresa!

Yes it's handy for some of the tricky letters.

Anyone got any Y mystery suggestions?

Yes, Marie. I read Yarn to Go by Betty Hechtman and enjoyed it.

I have 23 read, and may have to start searching for the rest. Maybe when the summer is over and the kids are back at school. I only have V, X, and Y to do.

thanks Valerie. I'll check at my local library

Down to only 4 needed: Q, X (I have one downloaded), Y, and Z.

Good job, LInda! What did you pick for X?

I've read Six letters.

What did you find for Q, X, & Z?

Jennifer wrote: "I've read Six letters.

What did you find for Q, X, & Z?"

I have Quickstep to Murder for my Q. Bought it couple of days ago at a used book store. I am planning on X by Sue Grafton. But, it comes out next month. I am on the waiting list at my library. But, since I have plenty of time left, I figure that will do.

Have not decided, but I am thinking of The Z Murders for Z, but again, have not decided. If I do, I will have to wait, since it too has not come out yet. It is due in September.

I have 6 spoon fulls but a few of them are doubled =-)

Jennifer wrote: "I've read Six letters.

What did you find for Q, X, & Z?"

I read Queen of Hearts by Rhys Bowen. My X was Except The Dying by Maureen Jennings (In the A-Z challenge I've done for a few years - the X had to be in the title (not necessarily the 1st letter))
For Z, I'm going to read Zoo Job - it's one of the books based on Leverage.

Happy hunting!

I have 11 spoons left to complete. This could have been much easier if I had more time or if I didn't have many other things to read too...

Great job! Yes, those pesky things like, work, chores, and sleep get in the way...don't they?

The sacrifices a reader must do to be able to own more books...! lol
I also decided right at the beginning to space out my reads, so...if I still have a lot to finish is my fault anyway.

I have 4 more spoons to go. I need J, Q, X, Z. I have the J and X (Sue Grafton's new one) picked out but will need to look at my TBR pile to see what I have for Q and Z. I am in too many challenges and reading groups and am missing out in some areas, but it is still fun to try and keep up.

Only six spoonfuls read so far! Ack! I'd better get cracking!

Wait, there are books based on Leverage?

Hmmmm, went to update my list and it is gone? Not sure what happened but I only had four more to go so I will just try to do them.

Carla, I still see it. It is under the Share Your Challenge thread. Click on the main one, and scroll down till you see Carla's challenge.

Thanks, my eyes must not have been working properly last night.

No problem. I have trouble at night sometimes after I have been reading for a long time....so, I certainly understand how things can be missed when you are scanning quickly.

will we be doing this again next year?

I have all but one, the letter Q. Anybody got a suggestion?

I read the cozy mystery Plagued By QUILT. :D

That sounds like one I'd like. I was browsing my shelves and found Masque of the Red Death. Read it a couple years ago and never reviewed it. I don't want to reread it right now, so I'm going to go check out your suggestion.

Thanks a bunch!
