A to Zed Challenge II
I don't officially participate in this challenge now. But every year I like to play along and see how I do without actually trying to get all the letters, I just fill them in as I go along. Last year I came away with 4 missing authors (Q, U, X, Z) and 3 missing titles (X, Y, Z).
This year I've crept a little closer to the finish line with 3 missing authors (Q, X, Z) and 2 missing titles (Q, X). I'm reading a lot more manga now so hopefully next year I'll find some Asian authors to get me those troublesome Q, X and Z!
