In case anyone wants to join me in my yearly challenge to read one author from every letter of the alphabet Here's a simple tracking method from a team I was a part of on SparkPeople. Pretty simple really. We used to allow use of first or last name for difficult to find letters like X or Q. Just copy your last post to add as you go. Here's where I'm at

A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
G.
H. Harrow, Alix E. - Once and Future Witches
I.
J.
K.
L.
M.
N.
O.
P.
Q.
R.
