A to Z fun

So I have found 3 different challenges related to reading through the alphabet.  2 of them are about the titles and one is about the author.  The goal of each of course is to read a book covering each letter of the alphabet during 2020. 

The first Title A to Z is hosted at Ginger Mom and Company  This is their 3rd challenge and the intention is to build up her archive of book reviews.  So feel free to browse to get ideas and then add your own as you read.

There are monthly mini challenges and quarterly readathons to help keep you on a reading course.  Additionally she will be hosting a AtoZOpoly so be sure to check that out as well.

Be sure to check it out and happy reading.  Check out my list of books at the bottom of this post for A to Z lists

#AlphabetSoupChallenge 

The other Title based AtoZ is Alphabet Soup hosted at EscapewithDollyCas
