Sunday Salon #13 Alphabet Soup


I am contemplating doing a speed-run reading challenge for the book of April. I honestly have no idea IF I can do it in just one month. But wouldn't it be fun if I could??? The challenge I'm considering (unofficially of course) is the Alphabet Soup reading challenge. There are challenges for authors or titles. I'm not sure at this point, which I'd want to tackle. Or a blend of both perhaps????

Just for fun, let's look at what I've read so far January through March to see how close I am to reaching a full bowl of alphabet soup.

What do you think I should do with the tricky letters? X and Z??? I was *thinking* maybe turning the X into an + and having two authors (if I do authors).

You could always go for Sue Grafton's series of murder mysteries, she did one for each letter of the alphabet. And there's a lot of books with the title Zero Hour, a lot being thrillers but not all.
