A-Z Success!

The A-Z Reading Challenge is all over the blogverse. It must be a pretty popular challenge. It's hosted by lots of folks. See -
It seems easy, right? Just read one book for each letter of the alphabet. I thought so, too, but then I remembered that there are some weird letters in the alphabet... Q? X? Z? So, I decided not to sign up for this challenge officially at any of the many sites hosting it. Instead, I've been keeping a list on my own just to see if I can do it.

Can she do it? Yes she can! maybe...

With two only two weeks to spare in 2013, I have completed the A-Z Reading Challenge! The thing that I love about this challenge is that it got me to read quite a few books that I wouldn't have read otherwise... and I really enjoyed them. Kensuke's Kingdom is a great example.
