Monthly Mix up challenge
Here is another challenge that sounds kind of fun.
To read a book for each letter in the year. That's right, a title for the J in January and the A in January, etc.... 74 books total!
Start date: April 1, 2011, because we're fools to try this
End date: March 31, 2013, yes, two years, because well, we have other challenges to do ;)
Guidelines:
# only one letter per book
# books can be moved around if it fits better somewhere else after you've read it
# the letter doesn't have to be the first word, just the first letter of a word in the title (a, an, and the do not count)
# reviews aren't necessary but a quick "I read for letter... it was about... I did/not like it" would be nice.
# if you decide to join in, create a post on your blog telling others then come back and link up (to the actual post, not just your blog's home page)
# a blog is not necessary, just comment on that month's post at the Lair
# if you get stuck, an author's name will do in a pinch but try to have more titles than names
# the most important thing is to have fun!
