2026 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge – Author Edition

 Doing this one again.

This challenge will run from January 1st, 2026, until December 31st, 2026.

You can join anytime. You do not have to post a review of the book. Books can come from any genre.

You do not need to link up each spoonful.

Make a page or a post or a GoodReads shelf where you will keep track of your spoonfuls. I keep track of mine on my Challenge Page.

Crossovers to other challenges are allowed and encouraged!

It’s an alphabet challenge!!! The challenge is to read one book that has an author whose first name, middle, or last name starts with every letter of the alphabet.

Books can be read in any order and all formats – print – e-book – and audio – are acceptable for this challenge!
