This is a challenge being hosted by the Young Adult Book Club on Goodreads. I had a lot of fun completing this challenge in 2013 but put virtually no planning or foresight into my selections.

 

I somehow managed to complete it without actively trying to – I made my books fit the challenge not the other way around. This time I want to try something different. I have pre-selected the books I will be reading from my personal library (that is my ever-increasing TBR pile). Taking part in this should hopefully help reduce this pile a little bit.

 

The rules for this challenge are simple:

 

  • 12 months to read 26 books.
  • Either the first word in the title of the books or the author’s name (first or last) should correspond with a letter in the alphabet.
  • “A” and “The” should be omitted from the titles.
  • Letters Q, X and Z can be positioned anywhere in the titles or author names.
