2013 A-Z Book Title Challenge

Today's topic is just for fun. This year I participated in a couple of reading challenges on Goodreads one of which being the A-Z Book Title Challenge. The goal was to read one book for each letter of the alphabet over the course of the year. My reading list developed from a combination of paperbacks I already had, but hadn't read for years, read for review books donated to me by the authors, books that looked so awesome I actually bought them, and freebees I found on Smashwords, B&N and Amazon.

Reading this many books wasn't exactly difficult, but some of the letters were hard to track down, especially since I didn't want to actually buy 26 books. The most difficult to find letters for me were K, V, and Z (because I didn't want to read a zombie book). Other letters, like F, were so common in the type of books I enjoy that I ended up reading way more of them than I needed to. That helped with my 80-book reading goal for the year, but not so much for this challenge.
