This challenge should tie in nicely with my other ones 
The A to Z Reading Challenge, which shall henceforth be known as AZRC, challenges you to read and review one book starting with every letter of the alphabet. There are three possible challenges you can partake in.
1. Author – A to Z by authors last name, 26 books.
2. Title – A to Z by book title, 26 books.
3. Double Whammy – Do both Challenge 1 and 2 for a total 52 books.

I’m shooting for the authors one, and I’ll pay attention to the titles. Let’s see!
I am also participating in the New Authors Challenge. To do so, I am combining these two. My goal for this year is to read 26 new authors, one for each letter of the alphabet. Unfortunately, this kind of ruins my plans for my “X” author – I read a book by Qiu Xiaolong last year. Any ideas?
