RULES & HOW TO:
- All book formats allowed (ebooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, paperbacks, etc.).
- Rereads are fine as long as you read the whole book.
- Choose one of the options below and face your fears from A to Z.
OPTION 1: As an A to Z challenge, using book titles with one or more words theme related - as long as it's bad, scary or terrifying, it counts.
Example:
A - Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
...
G - Grave Witch
...
I - I, Zombie
OPTION 2:As an A to Z Spell-It-Out, similar to the Animal Alphabet Challenge. Pick a bad, scary or terrifying expression(*) for each letter of the alphabet and read books with titles, series, character (first or last name), or authors (first or last name) that begin with letters that correspond to letter of the animal you choose. As always, if a title starts with a, an, the, etc you may use the second word of the title.
(*) You can use characters, writers, book titles, movies, Halloween terms, your own fears - same as in option #1, every expression counts, as long as it's bad, scary or terrifying. You can spell out one at a time, or work on several at once.
Example: Dracula
D - Death Masks
R - "Ridley" from Hostile Ground
A - Allison from The Forever Song
C - Cut & Run
U - Urban, Madeleine - Warrior's Cross
L - How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake series)
A - Abigail Roux - Stars & Stripes
