Now to start on my personal challenge of doing it in order.
Totally forgot about this. So am going to backdate it from Jan this year and see how long it takes me to go from A-Z using authors surnames, in order.

A - New Life Stories – David Attenborough – 02.01.19
B -Hush Little Baby – Joanna Barnard – 07.01.19
C -She’s Leaving Home – Edwina Currie – 13.02.19
D - The Night Stalker – Clare Donoghue – 21.02.19
E -The Little Prince - Antoine du Saint Exupery – 26.03.19

Em (emmap) | 2707 comments You're nearly there already Den! Only two books on my list so far...

Now going to add my January books and if I have it correct I should just be 4 books off target. My 'Q' is upstairs waiting to be read next week and the other 3 have just been ordered from the library. Hopefully the list will be completed by the end of next month and then ... I can start all over again!

Nancyspain | 18 comments How long has it taken you to get your list this far down the line Den? This concept quite appeals to me. It would certainly make going to the library very interesting!

I joined this site in August of last year and decided to back date it to the beginning of the year ... unfortunately for me there were only a couple of names as most of the authors I had read seemed to have the same surname initial so most of the names are from august on wards. I found about 6 difficult to find but am now awaiting them from the library (as mine is only a very small one) and it gets you reading authors you probably would never have looked at before.
