Z:
COMPLETED THE ALPHABET!
4th time through (four of every letter A-Z) - two books away!
5th time through (five of every letter A-Z) - ten books away!
NOTE: Chronological book covers remain on my initial comment (unless I run out of room again).
EDIT: Yep, I totally ran out of room in September. So I'll begin adding more books covers here.
END OF YEAR: I finished the year by doing a reread of my own children's book series (Byways Books) in preparation for their re-release in the coming year. That brought me to (and a little past) my reading goal for 2024. Final tally: 202 books!

Steps:
1. Create a comment on this thread.
2. Copy, paste, and edit the alphabet set in the first post below.
3. Update your comment throughout the year, adding the books you finish during 2022.
Guidelines:
1. Titles need to match a letter of the alphabet. Use the "add book/author" button to create links to the books here on 老虎机稳赢方法.
2. Drop "A," "An," and "The" from titles. For example, The War that Saved My Life (by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley) would be listed for W, and A Place to Hang the Moon (by Kate Albus) would be listed for P.
3. Exception! Q, X, and Z are especially challenging letters to work with. You may choose a book that has a word in the title that starts with Q or Z. For example, Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (by Beverly Cleary) can count for Q, and Effie Starr Zook has One More Question (by Martha Freeman) will work for Z. And we'll accept a word beginning with EX for your X book, like The Explorer (by Katherine Rundell) or Extraordinary Birds (by Sandy Stark-McGinnis).
4. If your title begins with a number, convert it to a letter by spelling it out. For example, 365 Days to Alaska (by Cathy Carr) would be listed for T, and 96 Miles (by J. L. Esplin) would be listed for N.
5. It's okay to add multiple titles under each letter, but there's no extra credit.
6. Only list middle-grade titles. No picture books, YA, or adult books about kids.
7. You can add a rating and review link. For example My review is here.
8. For an added challenge, see if you can read your books in alphabetical order.
9. Have fun!
