Book Lists
For those of you who don't already know, Litsy is the single greatest app in existence. It's basically Instagram for books, and it's my absolute favorite thing on my phone. One of the things I've discovered on this app is various reading challenges, most of which I pretend I don't have time to try. But one caught my attention, so I'm going to attempt it in 2017. However, I've decided to make it more difficult for myself by breaking it into three different challenges, all stemming from the same basic principle.
Some background: Litsy A to Z is a reading challenge that involves reading 26 books throughout 2017. Simple, right? Here's the catch. These books have to match every letter of the alphabet. You can either use authors' last names, titles of books, or a combination of the two. For those of you still with me at this point, I'm including the three lists of books I'm reading for the challenge. Litsy A to Z Challenge Part 1: My TBR-Shelf Books Alphabetized by Author's Last Name Atkinson, Kate. Case Histories Barnhardt, Wilton. Lookaway, Lookaway Cain, James M. Mildred Pierce Day, Felicia.
