Monthly Mix-up Mania 2013-2015

So....there I was minding my own business, when what to my wondering eye should appear in the blog roll?  But a jolly new edition of the Monthly Mix-up Mania Challenge (right there in A Novel Challenge...that's such an awful temptation for Challenge Addicts like me....).  Yes.  I'm signing up (was there a doubt?).  I had great fun with this back in 2011--so here we go again!

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, 2013, because we're fools to try this but any book read since 1-1-11 that you didn't already use for the 2011-2013 edition counts ;)

End date: March 31, 2015, 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 and can be left in the comments.
• if you decide to join in, create a post on your blog telling others then come back and link up (to the actual post, not just your blog's home page)
• a blog is not necessary, just comment on that month's post.
•  Just titles (no subbing author names this time if you get stuck)
• the most important thing is to have fun!

Just a couple of suggestions. . .
read a book with the month's name in the title
Only use the first letter of the first word


Have a good time!
