Probably not the right place to ask but since I have now completed my GR and PS challenges for the year I have decided to slot the books I have read/am reading in for A to Z. I have something either already read this year or on my TBR for all letters for title, object on cover and last name but cannot find an author with a first name beginning with X. Anyone have any ideas? Doubt I will manage to complete all 4 versions but would like something to target my reading until the next PS challenge comes out.

Hello, it's the perfect place to ask. A couple of first names starting with X are Xavier and Xochitl. You could do a search by author and see if anything interests you; otherwise, you can pick an author with the letter somewhere in their first or last name, Max Brooks comes to mind. I hope this helps. I'm curious; you mentioned challenges for GR and PS and I guess GR is goodreads but what is PS?
Thank you

I just finished Xue Xinran's book Sky Burial. It's non-fiction (sort of). It's about a Chinese woman who travelled to Tibet in the 1950s looking for her missing husband....

Actually sounds quite interesting.....thank you!

Popsugar. The 2019 one should be out really soon and we are all waiting to see what the list of prompts is for next year. Good way to get out of your comfort zone and try new genres. There is a group on GR so please come and have a look and see if it interests you.
