Although I may have updated the Alphabet Challenge I took up again this past summer, I may have done so on Literacy and Me, another blog, so I digress from my regular posting to review:

“O” saw me read the second book in The Broken Earth trilogy, The Obelisk Gate, A POWERFUL sci-fi/fantasy.

“P” delivered a thought-provoking look at The Prayer of Jesus, a gentle meditation on The Lord’s Prayer/The Model Prayer/The Disciple’s Prayer.

“Q” was a mystery-thriller, The Quiet Child, that wrenched the reader at the end as it did the protagonist.

“R,” Reading With Patrick, was an attempt to read more non-fiction, slightly out of my “regular reading zone,” and turned out to be useful and inspiring as well as informative.

“Sunken Cathedral, a novel chosen to satisfy the “S” requirement, as well for its spectacular cover and large print came next.

“T” killed two books with one stone, for I listened to it for the 2019 Audiobooks Challenge, Nora Hurston’s classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Currently, I am reading the “U” selection, Unbecoming, which I’ve just started, but am already invested in.

Out of turn, I read If We Were Villains for my “V” selection. Ok, so I fudged a bit on the title, but it was our book club selection for the month of June, there were very few books whose title began with the letter “V,” and again, two books/birds with…

Woe is me, where am I going to find a book for “X”?

“Y” should be fairly simple, and I already have “Z” from the local library, Instead of being a book whose title starts with “Z,” the author’s name does, Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Does anyone know anything about this author? I saw his name mentioned in an article/list of “Books About Books.” Can anyone shed some light on this? I would be truly grateful.

Right now, my goal is to have finished out the alphabet by the end of August.  We shall see. HAPPY READING THROUGH THE ALPHABET!
