This 2026 Challenge was created by Escape with Dollycas, which I didn’t join until 9/9/26.
I will add books I read earlier this year, and work toward finishing the challenge after.
Challenge: Read books with titles that begin with each letter.
Each letter counts as 1 spoonful of Soup.
Dollycas’s rules accept any genre. Books need be over 50 pages in length.
*Books are cozies, unless noted otherwise.
