I'm not starting this challenge yet. But as soon as I finish my 50 book Challenge (at the end of February), I think I'll wait a bit and then start on this challenge.

This is also a goal on my 101 Goals in 1001 days list.

I'm thinking I may have to bend the rules for X. I can not find an author with that last names! I finally found ones for Q and U, I just need to read them.

EDIT: I tried to find a title that started with X, which also proved fruitless. So I figured if it at least had an X in the title, then that was just fine.

That was no easy task either, but I found one (via searching on Goodreads).

Xu, Xiao, Xie, etc. are popular Chinese names and there are authors that have written in or are translated into English. Also Xenophon. Xavier. And I would think that Malcolm X would qualify. I can probably come up with other names and specific books from our library's catalog if you need them.

There's a few authors listed here but the majority are Chinese. You could take a look to see if any take your fancy or just check to see what other people have been choosing for their X read.

"X" can be a hard letter to fill. You have made great progress on your challenge!
