Reading Challenge 2011

[jlewenda]

So, I’ve decided to challenge myself this year, by doing the A-Z Challenge. The idea is to read 26 books, each one starting with a letter of the alphabet. The use of A, An and The will not be included.

I’ve tried narrowing it down to books I own, that I haven’t read yet and whatnot, but it’s not so simple. But some of them do meet that criteria.

Oooh! I wanted to read On Writing. I read the first chapter for class. O_O. If you disliked Wicked Lovely I don't think you'll like Holly Black's stuff. I really didn't like her writing style.

I've read the first chapter of On Writing too, and found it most insightful. I think I want to read more books on the craft of writing.
I've read Tithe, and enjoyed it (the story itself, that is), but yeah, the writing isn't all that great. Neither are the characters (a blonde half-Asian? :-/). I feel, for continuity's sake, that I need to finish the series.

Your list is awesome!! American Gods and Dorian Gray are two books I keep starting and never finishing... I'll be interested to know what you think! Good luck with the challenge :)

Yeah, I've started but never finished Dorian Gray twice already. I hope to finally finish it.
Thanks! :)
