Well done Peppercricket. I run out of authors and doubling up now but won't add those. And Ellie I was going to say Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian. I did have that but gave it away about a year ago.

Only 3 left now, the end is in sight. Hope everyone else is getting on ok? I'm not! My reading mojo comes and goes, and knowing that, I should have just stuck to the challenge without reading duplicates of certain letters. I might have to wipe the slate clean and start again next year!

Oh no josette maybe you could do half the alphabet this year and the other half next? I must admit I managed most of it just reading what I wanted to, now being down to only a few hard letters I am having to force myself to stick to the authors I have put aside

I just have titles starting with Q and Y to go ... bleah.
I have a Y ... The Young Pretenders, a Persephone book. I'll look in the library for a Q.
I'm cheating with X ... I'm going to count Generation X.
