Horror Aficionados discussion

Here we are introducing our 2021 A-Z Challenge!

This year we've mixed it up-instead of reading titles that begin with certain letters, this year it's the author's name that must start with the letter. An exception is being made for the X,Z and Q-for these, the author's first or last name must CONTAIN the letter.

The books for this challenge do NOT have to be HORROR books, it can be anything you like!

Sign up here: https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/...

Use this thread to track your progress and to list the books you're using for each letter. Happy reading, Aficionados!
