2013 A-Zed Challenge VI
I have now completed this challenge two years in a row out of the 5 years I have been playing this. This will be my 6th year. I'm not in any official group for this one as you can see I play both authors and titles. I also do not pre-select books but let them fall where they may during the year. Once it gets close to the end of the year, *if* I am close to finishing, then I will actively search out books to fill in missing letters.
UPDATE June 3: Halfway through the year and I`ve done very well. Getting close to being done. A few of the tough ones done, but still some toughies to go, especially the dreaded X & Z`s but I do have 1 Q already. I`m putting a quick look list for my own benefit at the top here:
UPDATE: Nov 25: Well I had given up hope of finishing this year but today I filled in 2 more missing letters, finishing Titles, which only leaves me with authors Q, X, Z. I'll make a quick trip to the library and see if I can finish them off with picture books!
UPDATE Dec: Did not finish. Only two authors left though. I will not be continuing this challenge next year. I lost the fun of it this year.
