The A to Z Challenge!

In an attempt to clear my overflowing shelves, I'm challenging myself to complete what I'm calling the A to Z challenge--reading one book off my shelves for each letter of the alphabet. This is just for fun, and I'll certainly be reading my ARCs, library books, and other books along the way as well. 

This post will keep track of the books as I go, so feel free to refer back here to check on my progress. Since this is all for fun (and to clear off my shelves and backlist!), I'm not really giving myself too many rules, except:

*Books should be physical books unless no copy exists for that letter of the alphabet (technically I have a full Kindle as well, but hey, my wife can't see that!)

 *ARCs are okay, but try to give precedence to clearing off books that I've bought or have been gifted (but really, a book that clears off a space, clears off a space!) 

*Try not to read the same author multiple times, but that's not a hard and fast one 

*No buying new books just to fill a letter :D
