Taking my "Z" book with me in the vehicle today. I should be able to finish it.
I chose to read "Zoo" by James Patterson.
This was fun to do and I am surprised that I stuck to mostly following the alphabet. I did find some interesting books in my search, so I may start the alphabet all over once again.

Re: Reading the Alphabet
Jackie, you did GREAT - me...not so much - I think 3 books so far. I just got "Here for It - or How to Save Your Soul in America" for my book club meeting later this month. I was able to pay for it (used) with Amazon gift card bucks.

I am actually quite surprised I managed this. I really enjoyed doing this.

Re: Reading the Alphabet
I'm reading "E" - Educated, by Tara Westover, for my next book club meeting. It's a true story and is about her live in a family who didn't send their children to school, or to the doctor - most of them didn't even have birth certificates! The parents were a bit "bubble off level" and there was domestic abuse by one of the brothers. With encouragement from another brother, Tara got herself into college! This is a great read.
