*Nothing from Rory's list starts with an X and the only book that has an X in the title is not available at my library, so I will probably just make that letter a wildcard and pick any book from the list that I want to read.
**Since there are no books on Rory's list that start with a Z, I am going to choose from the books that have a Z somewhere in the title instead.
What a fun and awesome challenge! Good luck!!

I also want to try and complete the alphabet challenge by only using books from Rory Gilmore's reading list. There aren't any books for letters X and Z and there might be other letters that I can't get books for if they aren't available at my library, but I'm going to try and get as far as I can in the challenge.
