My 2011 Reading Challenges

I'm a list lover so I wanted to break down all of my challenges for the year so I can see how far along I am.
2011 A-Z Title Challenge
Goal: Read books that start with every letter of the alphabet. Can discount words like ‘The’ and ‘A’ at the beginning of book titles. For example ‘The Dead Girls Dance’ can count as the ‘D’ book.

  1. Hi!

    I'm thrilled you've decided to read The Werewolf Upstairs in your challenge! I love the alphabet idea! It's great that you want to explore new authors and new voices. I do that too. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. LOL

    I notice you don't have a book for the letter S yet. May I be so presumptuous as to suggest Strange Neighbors if you haven't read it for 2010? If you have...big hugs and sloppy kisses! But I thought you might not have, because I'm a new to you author.

    Just a suggestion. Ignore me if it doesn't fit in with your master plan.

    Best of luck with your challenge!

  2. Wow, hi!

    The reading challenges are great, unfortunately I cannot take credit for them. They are all from a group on Goodreads.com.

    I really enjoyed reading The Werewolf Upstairs! I didn't realize it was the second in a series until after had read it, bit I definitely plan on reading Strange Neighbors!

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!!

  3. I meant to say 'but I definitely plan on reading...'

    That's one downfall of doing a lot of my blogging from my phone...autocorrect
