Alycia (bookhound18) Thanks, Kristie! I ALMOST accomplished this challenge last year...hoping to have better luck this year! lol The funny thing is, two of the letters I didn't get last time, I have already ticked off my list this time!

Funny! Isn't that always the way.


message 5: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) Yes! :)


message 6: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) I changed my tactic for this year. I'm doing all the hard letters first in hopes that I'll finish the challenge! :)

Way to go!


message 10: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) I thought it would be so simple to do last year. However, some of the letters are really difficult and others repeat a lot. (M, I'm talking about you! lol) I never did get it done last year...so excited I have it (almost) done! :)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments Congrats, Alycia. This year I am ditching my YA A-Z challenge as I have too much work at the university, so the more I'm happy that you came to the conclusion of your challenge :D


message 20: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) Thank you, Anima! I miss seeing all your lovely comments on here!!! :) I tried really hard to do this last year and ended up ditching it as well...it's not as easy as it sounds.


message 21: by Anima (new)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments Thanks, Alycia. I miss my activity here as well, I try to divide my time, but it becomes harder and harder. I hope, when I finish my studies, to have more time for participation and then I will come back to A-Z challange :)


message 22: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) I understand that! Life has to take precedence over Goodreads. ;)

Or mad woman! ;o)


message 29: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) Mad woman is precisely it. Lol


message 30: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) I was going to wait until the beginning of the year to start a new one except that The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1) by Marie Lu comes out next month and "Y" was, by far, my hardest letter! Didn't want to miss it. ;)

Ha! I have that same situation right now, but I haven't finished my first A-Z! I just read Year Zero, the got Yellow Crocus from Netgalley, so I can't wait too long to read it. Hopefully, I'll find a few more for next year's list. Maybe I'll just have to wait to read The Young Elites!
