One of the many reading challenges I participated in during 2016 is this one to read 26 books, each one starting with a different letter of the alphabet. I participated because it was simple but interesting and actually turned out to be pretty tough to complete because I didn’t choose a TBR at the beginning of the year –  I just read what I wanted to read and hoped I was meeting the benchmarks as I went through the year. As you can see, I didn’t actually meet this goal but I am so proud of actually meeting my overall reading challenge goal which was to read 100 books in 2016. I’ll be talking more about that later.

From the alphabet, I was missing titles that started with C, H, K, Q, U, X, Z.
