The A to Z Reading challenge

So I have recently stumbled across a reading challenge hosted by Crystal and Megan at bookstacksngoldenmoms, it is a year long challenge which involves reading books starting with every letter of the alphabet.

"The AtoZ Reading Challenge is a laid-back, year-long reading challenge. It encourages readers to choose a book starting with each letter of the alphabet."

I came to this challenge a bit late in the day and while I have already read more than 26 books this year I haven't managed to read one that starts with every letter of the alphabet yet, however I can certainly tick off some of them by this point!

There are also mini - challenges set as outlined below:

• JANUARY - A book you purchased in 2020 but didn't read

• FEBRUARY - A book with non-romantic love (siblings, parent-child, friendships) ✅

• MARCH - A book written by a person of a different race than you ✅

• APRIL - A book with an autistic main character (April I Autism awareness week)

• MAY - A book about a nurse (Nat nurses week is May 6-12)

• JUNE - A co-written book (2 authors)

• JULY - A Christmas book (Christmas in July!)

• AUGUST - A book by an Indie author (self published or independent)

• SEPTEMBER - A memoir/biography

• OCTOBER - A book written by a new-to-you author

• NOVEMBER - A book outside your normal genre

• DECEMBER - A backlist title (published before Jan 1, 2021

I am very excited about these mini-challenges! I may struggle with the May challenge with it coming to the end of the month and I haven't got a book with a nurse as a character! But you never know stranger things have happened!

I also managed to complete the mini review for February with Minus Me which had a great mother - daughter relationship storyline and March with Talia Hibberts book Act your age Eve Brown.

I will update this page as I read more books, I'm particularly intrigued about what books I will find beginning with X or Z, if you know of any good ones please hit me in the comments!!
