A to Z April Challenge

Because I can't help myself sometimes...


The challenge is to blog every day in April (except for most Sundays) and follow a theme: A on April 1st, B on the 2nd, etc. Mine will all be good books (and movies and tv shows and maybe even radio shows).

I'll probably start with An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, and end with....well, Goodreads says the only "Z" book I've read is The Zucchini Warriors by Gordon Korman. Since it's unlikely I'll read anything about zombies between now and April, that may very well be it.

In the meantime, I need books beginning with Q and X. Any recommendations?


The challenge had 100 participating bloggers in 2010. They had nearly 1300 in 2011. Sign up at the A To Z April Challenge web site...

    Hey. I'm doing a similar thing but with authors' names rather than books and not for the April A-Z Challenge. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

    'Q' by Luther Blissett looks interesting - I haven't read it though. ;-)

    Love your idea! I might do that next.

    That's a fascinating story behind the Luther Blissett name. I'd never heard that before. This particular 'Q' isn't available on kindle, but a different 'Q' (by Evan J Mandery) is. Either way, I think you've just saved me from slogging through Quo Vadis. :)

    Your theme for April sounds like a good one. Thanks for the promo post. I've included your blog on the next A to Z Blog Sunday Summary. I've also added myself to your followers.

      Wow, 26 pieces of flash fiction? That's seriously impressive.

      Thanks! Though a tiny part of me is thinking I'll be asking what I got myself into about two weeks from now when it's 2am and I'm frantically trying to update. :) On the other hand, I'm loving all the blogs about storytelling already!

    thanks for stopping by my blog Speak Coffee to Me! I'm excited for another book A-to-Z challenge.
    For Q I'm looking at Quartets or Quarters or things of that nature ... Quiet on the Western Front perhaps? I've had to do some fudging, particularly for X vs eXtra, etc. I highly recommend fudging. :)

      I keep telling myself I have a few weeks to find Q, X, Y and Z, but fudging sounds about right. Looking forward to seeing what you find!
