I'm doing this albeit casually, I'm just seeing how many I do in the course of a normal year rather than be strict with it.
Are you sticking to author names or will you have to move over for some of the more obscure letters?

Are you sticking to author names or will you have to move over for some of the more obscure letters? I'm going to try and stick to author names to keep everything straight and not muddy the water. I did a quick google of author surnames at the start of the year, and I reckon I'll be able to fill the gaps in no problem......she says.....

Haha, I think I should be ok as well, apart from the fact I have no U, X or Z authors in my TBR anywhere. A trip to the library after a search on google may be in order.
