Anyone up for this challenge? Let's read different authors and list them alphabetically by their last name. See if you can get the whole alphabet covered by the end of the year. This way I'm more apt to read different authors which is one of my goals for this year.
For example R: Roberts, Nora, etc

A:
B: Barton, Beverly The Murder Game and The Dying Game
C: Cain, Chelsea Heartsick Clark, Mary Higgins Where are you now
D:
E:
F:
G: Gruen, Sara Water for Elephants
H: Hooper, Kay Blood Dreams Hosseini, Khaled A Thousand Splendid Suns
I:
J:
K: Kagen, Lesley Whistling in the Dark
L:
M: McMahon, Jennifer Promise Not To Tell
N:
O:
P: Patterson, James 7th Heaven; Pausch, Randy The Last Lecture
Q:
R: Roberts, Nora Blood Brothers
S: Shreve, Anita Where or When
T:
U:
V:
W: Webb, Debra Nameless
X:
Y:
Z:

i'm up for it deemom! i'll post back when i finish my book! (great idea!!!)

OK, let me make sure I have this straight -- we read a book and post the author and book on the list you started if the letter has nothing next to it? Does it matter if the book is fiction or non-fiction? I'm reading a non-fiction book right now that I can add to the list when I'm done.

Sorry if I've overthought things and made it more confusing.

I probably didn't explain it good enough, sorry. Start your own alphabet list. Edit as you read an author that last's name starts with a certain letter. K: King, Steven and the book. Then move on to another letter. It doesn't matter if it's fiction or nonfiction. It's a way I can challenge myself to read different authors and different genres that I normally don't read. Does that help?

Oops....I had understood it wrong too. I was getting ready to add to yours. But I'll start my own.
