Alphabet fun

A to Z Tracking 

Once again I plan to participate in 2 A-Z tracking challenges for Titles and the one for Authors as well.  I will track them both on this combined tracking page.  

First up is the A to Z challenge hosted by Crystal and Megan at Bookstacksngoldenmom  They also have monthly side challenges  Use #2021AtoZReadingChallenge on instagram

• JANUARY – A book you purchased in 2020 but didn’t read
• FEBRUARY – A book with non-romantic love (siblings, parent-child, friendships)
• MARCH – A book written by a person of a different race than you
• APRIL – A book with an Autistic main character (April is Autism Awareness)
• MAY – A book about a nurse (Nat. Nurses Week 2021 is May 6-12)
• JUNE – A co-written book (2 authors)
• JULY – A Christmas book (Christmas in July!)

• SEPTEMBER – A memoir/biography

The other title and author based challenges are hosted by Dolly at EscapewithDollyCas   These are Alphabet Soup and Author Alphabet Soup.
