Let's Try A Reading Challenge...

I discovered a neat Reading Challenge hosted by Joy. The requirements are:
  • align the author's last name or the title of a book (excluding "the", "a", etc.) with its corresponding letter in the alphabet
  • enter a different book for each author and title (total of 52 books)
  • complete the alphabet lists anyway that suits your fancy
    (i.e.: complete each list separately in alphabetical order, read both "A" entries, then "B" entries, fit whatever you're reading into either list, etc.)
  • complete the challenge in the year 2008
  • enjoy the experience!
Since I am getting started a little late, I am going to include the books that I have read since the first of the year. This should be interesting...I will probably include some audiobooks as well since I am a book listener as well.
