ABC Challenge
Book titles in between brackets I haven’t read (yet), but are reminders for myself and are possible reads to cross off that letter. For X I make an exception; it’s very hard to find books where the title start with an X that I want to read. So for that letter I’m allowed to find a book where one of the words start with an X.
