YA Lit:: A-Z Reading Challenge Part Trois

I know signs point to me having forgotten about this challenge, where you read a book for each letter of the alphabet. I just didn't have a whole lot to report since May. The new additions are: F, G, H, N, Q, and Y.

Letters to go: K, U, X, and Z. Why, oh why, did I read Zorgamazoo by Robert Paul Weston in December of last year? And has it really been that hard to find a book whose title starts with the letter K?

Anyway, here it is! As usual, new entries are in italics.

The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. 1: The Pox Party, M.T. Anderson

YA Lit:: A-Z Reading Challenge Part Deux

So this is part deux of my A-Z Reading Challenge. Alas, not much has changed. I was able to add a title to the letter "M"-- a charming picture book in Spanish-- but other than that, I'm dry this month

I also decided to go easy on the list. Instead of listing every single title with the same first letter, I figure one can suffice.

Does anyone out there have the title for a picture book that starts with the letter "X"? Ha ha.

A.
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. 1: The Pox Party, M.T. Anderson

And she can't be stopped. By "she," I mean me, of course.

Through Twitter I found @yalitgoodbadugly, a vivacious teacher-to-be who is really into YA lit. Looking through her blog, I found yet another reading challenge that called my name-- the one where you read books with titles starting with every letter in the alphabet! I'm on it, baby.
