We're going to take something away and we're going to add something. We'll keep the "book title" part of the challenge...but we're going to try adding 30 years of wonderful, good books instead of authors. So, the year the book was published. Everyone did really well last year. Almost everyone finished or only lacked those pesky Q's, X's, & Z's. So... let's see what we can do in 2023.
1. The Die-Hard Reader: For each letter of the alphabet, read a book whose title starts with that letter, and in addition, read a book published in one of the 30 years...yes, it can be the SAME book. You will need two lists: one of letters for the titles and one for the years. The book you read for the title does NOT have to be, but CAN be the one you use for the year.
2 The Semi-Diehard Reader: - You may CHOOSE to do EITHER 'titles" or "years". If you choose titles, you will need one list of letters for the titles. If you choose years, you will need one list of numbers for the years. You will only have ONE list of either letters or numbers.
3. The Picker and Dabbler: - You may pick a list of letters meaningful to you, OR a list of numbers. When you finish before December 31, 2023, you may add another list of letters or numbers...as many as you wish. You might make a new list each month. The letters you choose could be the letters in the names of your kids or grandkids, or the letters in your name, or the letters in the title of your favorite book, or the letters in your pet's name... a holiday or an event...whatever has meaning for you! Then read a book with a title that starts with each letter on your personal list. Be good and don't count "The", "And" "An" or "It". The categories that you choose may be as long or as short has you choose to make them.
If you choose to do "Years" that the book was published"... again years that have meaning to you. The year of your birth, The year of your marriage, your children of grandchildren's birth" etc. So that we will all be somewhat on the same page, please, no year before 1993.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask. i tried to cover everything that I thought might be questionble.

Oops! Posted book in the wrong place… 😮

Everything new I'm reading seems to be a repeat of letters I already filled in. I think I'm going to start using re-reads as well for this list, I might have better luck!
14Carol420
>13 Jenson_AKA_DL: Yeah...there are only so many "easy" letters:) Good luck...you still have 5 months left.
15Andrew-theQM
>14 Carol420: >13 Jenson_AKA_DL: Left with K, Q, X, Y, Z
16Carol420
>15 Andrew-theQM: If I remember with Sergei had an author whose name started with X, I've seen several people use it. You might check his list. It might have been last year.

>15 Andrew-theQM: and >16 Carol420: Diana Xarissa 🙂

Not bad! Had 7 letters this year that I needed books to complete, but 19 I did complete.
That idea of finding a document written by Xerxes is sounding better and better for 2024!
