ABC's of Misty's Books

I found this on Bryan's Book Blog who found it at Boston Bibliophile, she calls it the ABC Book Meme, and these are the instructions she has on her blog:

“For this meme, you list a favorite book that starts with each letter of the alphabet. If you don't have a book for a letter (such as Z or X) than you can substitute a favorite book that simply has that letter in the title (i.e. The Lost City of Z or Hot Six by Janet Evanovich). However, you can only do this a maximum of 3 times. (Z, X, and Q, but not Z, X, Q, and V.) Books can be of any genre from fiction to non-fiction to poetry to textbooks.” And I am adding the rule that articles at the front of books (The, A, An) don’t count and it is the next letter that truly counts, so The Stand is an S book and A Medicine for Melancholy is an M book, etc."

I didn't completely follow the rules. There were a couple that I put on because they were different authors. The book on the letter may not have been my absolute favorite with that letter, but I didn't want to repeat authors! Also, I did have a "Z" book, but it was so terrible that I just couldn't put it on. So, sue me! :-) If anyone else decides to do this, please let me know. I would love to see your list!
