Hmmmm. Did you see? Bev at My Reader’s Block Joined ANOTHER challenge. That means she has two more than I do. TWO. Can you believe that?!?! On one hand it’s nicest to know that I’m not the most obsessed but on the other — SHE HAS MORE THAN ME!

Actually, I’d probably have more except the ones I’ve been finding just don’t fit in with my planned reading schedule. Until, I saw the newest one Bev joined: Monthly Mix-up Mania

Here’s the scoop on the Monthly Mix-up Mania Challenge sponsored by Book Dragon:

What: To read a book for each letter in the year. That’s right, a title for the J in January and the A in January, etc…. 74 books total!

Official Start date: April 1, 2011 – because we’re fools to try this but any book read since 1-1-11 counts
End date: March 31, 2013 – yes, two years, because well, we have other challenges to do

Guidelines:

• only one letter per book
• books can be moved around if it fits better somewhere else after you’ve read it
• the letter doesn’t have to be the first word, just the first letter of a word in the title (a, an, and the do not count)
• reviews aren’t necessary but a quick ‘I read for letter… it was about… I did/not like it’ would be nice
• if you decide to join in, create a post on your blog telling others then come back and link up to the actual post
• a blog is not necessary, just comment on that month’s post at the Lair
• if you get stuck, an author’s name will do in a pinch
• the most important thing is to have fun!

Since I can use the books I’ve read since 1/1/11 I’m already complete 48 of 74 books. So, I’m 65% Complete. Of course, now I need to find books with ‘E’ & ‘U’ in the title & it’s not going to be as easy as it sounds.
