abc book challenge

I like to read.  I like it a lot.  For some reason, the past couple of years I just haven’t got around to reading as much as I would like.  I didn’t make my reading challenge.  I decided that this was the year to change all that.  It is one of the areas I want to focus on this year.  There are a number of different challenges going around out there.  I have my usual Goodreads challenge of 50 books but I felt I needed something to help me stay on track or focus.  
I decided to do the ABC Book Challenge that many of you are doing.  I was finally jumped on aboard after reading that Olya is doing it too.  Thanks for the reminder and the motivation.  It really is a simple challenge.  Just read a book for every letter of the alphabet.  Not including the A/An/The parts.  I think this should help motivate me to seek out different types of books as well.  Fingers crossed.  
I thought I would keep you all updated from time to time with my progress for extra accountability.  Are you doing a reading challenge this year? Do you have any suggestions for must read books?
