My ABC’s: A Reading List

Since 2002, I’ve read a lot — a little over 400+ books — most of them middle-grade or young adult titles. I keep track of them in a spreadsheet and during a procrastination tactic I sorted them and I noticed that I’ve read a book title that almost covers the whole alphabet (I’m missing Y and X titles — I may need to work on that, LOL).

So just for fun, I thought I would share a list containing some of the single-title books that I’ve read in alphabetical order:

Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo

    Hi book twin! What an interesting list. I’ve read about a third of the ones you mentioned, and others have been on my reading list for a while. There are also a couple I’m not familiar with – I’ll have to check them out!

    Hey Anna! We are definitely book twins. Some of these books I read several years ago, but I think it’s a well-rounded list. It’s good to know that I don’t read all sci-fi and fantasy. You should definitely check some of them out. :)
