A - Z READING CHALLENGE
January 1 – December 31



Looking for a simple challenge to help you knock some books off your 2018 TBR list? There are four different ways to complete this year-long challenge. You can choose the easy way if you are a casual reader, or choose a harder method if you really want to challenge yourself this year!

Title: Use the first letter of the title to cross each letter off the list. Q, X, and Z can be located anywhere in the title since those letters are more difficult. Remember that articles (A, an, the) do not count.

Author: Use the author’s last initial to cross each letter off the list. Q, X, and Z can be the first, middle, or last initial.

Series: Use the first letter of the series title to cross each letter off the list. Q, X, and Z can be located anywhere in the series title.

Covers: Use a feature that stands out on the cover (i.e. tree, waterfall, crown) to cross each letter off the list.

For an Easy trophy: Use a mix of book titles, authors, series titles, and covers to complete one list of 26.
For a Medium trophy: Use book titles, authors, series titles, or covers to complete one list of 26.
For a Hard trophy: Complete more than one list (52/78/104 books.)

Sign up below if you are interested in participating! I will link the participants’ spots in post #2 for easy access. If you end up changing your mind, please leave your post as is rather than deleting it so everything stays in order 😉

Sure, if that's easier for you. Titles that start with "you" or last names that begin with Y usually get me through that letter!
