A-Z Challenge Wrap Up

Monday, November 9th, 2009

A to Z Challenge

The A to Z Challenge was my very first challenge. I chose to do the Title Challenge. I didn’t find out about the challenge until the summer, but thanks to blogging, I was able to remember which books I’ve read this year.

This challenge opened me up to a lot of books I probably wouldn’t have read. Once I got to the point where there were 7 or 8 books I still didn’t have, I made a trip to Borders and skimmed the shelves until I found them all.

My favorite books I read for this challenge were Killer Cruise, Gentleman in Room 205, The Quickie and Zombie Blondes. Believe it or not, 3 of those were ones that I just found because I needed a book with a specific letter title.

My least favorite books were Son of a Witch and The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.

The Christmas Challenge is taking place over at the True Book Addict. The goal is to read 1-3 Christmas themed books between November 26th and December 31.

I already have 5 books on my shelf ready to go! I am so excited for this!
