I got this idea from Sassymonkey, so I thought I’d give it a try! I made this be #74 on my 101 in 1001. The idea is to make a list of books whose titles begin with A-Z, then read them (I included numbers too, just for fun). There may be some overlap between these books and other goals I have on the 101 in 1001 . . . but that’s OK. If I made everything be distinct different books, I’d never have a shot at completion, LOL!
