Not sure I will be doing a big tally next month, I have a couple of chunksters (700+ words) lined up to read, but I'd love to participate again. It has been a lot of fun and I have found some great new books to read from what has been posted. Have to love that!

Maybe go through the alphabet instead of counting?Book one must have a link to the letter A, be it author or title or character or whatever. Book two is letter B. blah blah blah through the alphabet? See how many times we can get through all 26 letters?
