2010 A to Z Challenge

I wanted to do the A to Z Challenge this year, but I never signed up and then since the year was like, half over didn’t know if I could complete it.  But I am DEFINITELY going to do it in 2010.

There’s three ways to go about this.  There’s the title, the author name, or both (meaning you read a title AND an author for each letter–no mixing and matching).

The challenge goes from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31st 2010.  That averages to reading…2 1/3 books a month.  I think that this is doable.  Especially if I think critically about what novellas I choose for the November Novella Challenge next year (isn’t sad that I’m already planning for that?) and if I join the YA Challenge or Graphic Novel Challenge.

I’m going to go with authors, rather than titles.  Maybe the following year I’ll do it the other way.

Here’s my list thus far:

A
B
C
D
E Shusaku Endo OR Umberto Eco
F
G
H
I  Kazuo Ishiguro
J
K
L
M
N
O Joyce Carol Oates
P
Q Queen Noor (does that count?)
R
S
T
U John Updike
V Kurt Vonnegut
W
X Malcolm X
Y
Z Emile Zola

O.K., I think I’ve thought up authors for the most difficult letters, so I’m feeling pretty confident.  :)
