*click button to sign up

Details:

What: To read a book for each letter in the year. That's right, a title for the J in January and the A in January, etc.... 74 books total!

Start date: April 1, 2011, because we're fools to try this

End date: March 31, 2013, yes, two years, because well, we have other challenges to do ;)

Guidelines:

•only one letter per book
•books can be moved around if it fits better somewhere else after you've read it
•the letter doesn't have to be the first word, just the first letter of a word in the title (a, an, and the do not count)
•reviews aren't necessary but a quick "I read for letter... it was about... I did/not like it" would be nice.
•if you decide to join in, create a post on your blog telling others then come back and link up (to the actual post, not just your blog's home page)
•a blog is not necessary, just comment on that month's post at the Lair
•if you get stuck, an author's name will do in a pinch but try to have more titles than names
•the most important thing is to have fun!

I tried this challenge last year and failed, but I was really intrigued by it.  Now that Book Dragon has made it a two year challenge...well, how can I resist!
