Way back in January of 2010, I committed to read a book by an author for every letter of the alphabet. Not long into the year, I thought that I might as well do the title challenge as well. Oops. I soon realized that I had lost the joy in reading. It had become a chore to find the book, read the book, and review the book. Back in July, I made the decision to stop pursuing the title portion of the challenge.
I'm happy to report that I did read a book by an author for every letter of the alphabet! I completed the goal that I set for myself in January so I'm satisfied with my reading for the year. And yes, I cheated for "X"
