New year, new book challenge. I have enough going on that I don't want the obligation of the SweetBlckCherry challenge of 42 books but I want more freedom from the shorter genre challenge I did last year. I think reading a book for each letter of the alphabet this year will be perfect.
Each letter will correspond to a book title like the Eyre Affair for E or Brave New World for B. 'The' and 'A' will not be counted when alphabetizing. While not all book have to be things I haven't read, I will try to make as many new reads as possible. All books must be finished by December 31, 2012 (or December 21 if you believe the Maya).
Graphic novels will be permitted. I think they have as much literary capabilities as a regular book but I can go through them rather quickly. Young adult/teen books will be allowed as well but again, in moderation. I think teen fiction can have some of the most new and original ideas you'll find for dystopian or paranormal fiction but I can go through them fairly quickly.
Library books will also be permitted since it will make some of the more difficult letters possible. With the ground rules laid out, let the reading begin!
