This challenge will run from January 1st, 2012 until December 31st, 2012.
You can join anytime.  The host of the event is http://www.babiesbooksandsigns.com/2011/12/join-my-z-book-challenge.html
If you are blogger, leave the link to your actual post about this challenge.
If you are not a blogger, leave a link to where you will be keeping track of this challenge.
So there are two different ways you can set up your own A-Z challenge.

A – Make a list now of 26 books, picking one for each letter of the alphabet. For example: A – Atonement B- Black Beauty C – The Count of Monte Cristo D – Dances with Dragons etc.
OR

B – The lazy way (how I do it) : Make a list on your blog from A-Z. Throughout the year, as you go along, add the books you are reading to the list. Hope that by the end of the year you have read one book for each letter. Towards the end of the year, you can check and see which letters you are missing and find books to fit.
Each month, I will add another challenge to this main challenge. It might to read a book with both A and Z in the title or to read a book with 3 words that all start with the same letter. I might host a few random giveaways too for good measure. If you’ve got some idea for the mini-challenges, send them to the host  by clicking here!!!

Since it is really hard to find titles beginning with X, the letter X just needs to be in the title somewhere.

So to join along….

1. Write a blog post about this challenge and whether you are going go with A or B.
2. Add the button to your blog.
3. Attach yourself to the linky.
4. Follow my blog so that you can see when I post the monthly challenge!

I am doing the Lazy B way.  :)

Good luck with it! I'm in it too and it looks like fun.

Thanks for stopping by...It is quite amazing that we are both in the same city, with the same name & are both Geminis.

This is my first year doing reading challenges & after giving it some thought, I was afraid that one would be too much. I'm in 5 others and I didn't want to take on too much!

This sounds like fun. Good luck to you! Also, for some reason I couldn't find a comment thing on the Scotland pictures, but gorgeous pictures! My husband has been to Scotland, but I haven't...YET.

I like the way you added the A-Z list to the end of this post! Great idea! I should go back and add it to mine. Glad you're doing this as well.

This kind of challenge always sounds like so much fun to me because it leaves the kind of book wide open but still makes you work for it. I'm going to have to go through my reading lists one day to find out how close I come to making it without even trying. If I'm more than half way there, then I might have to sign up for this one one day!
