DRB's Alphabet Challenge

Hello 2025! I am so excited to be starting DRB Reviews this New Year!  I love to read, and love to write and thought it would be a great idea to meld the two together and review the books I read.
I decided to start this year off with a unique reading challenge, an alphabet challenge. I have a huge TBR, with books on my bookshelf I haven't touched, although desperately want to make the time for.  They were picked up mostly at thrift shops over the years. So in an attempt to read them before buying any new books, I began to look at my book shelves and the titles they held, and discovered I have enough to create an alphabet challenge. I ignored "the" to accomplish this but began pulling and laying them out on the bed. I discovered I only needed to buy four letters K, Q, V & Z to complete the collection.  I googled books that start with these letters and found extensive booklists on Goodreads. (Thank you to others who have read alphabet challenges in the past I suppose!) I bought four titles beginning with these letters, to complete my challenge with my Christmas gift, an Indigo gift card. (Thanks to my wonderful husband.)
I read a lot, and usually have several books on the go. I read a hard cover by day, and kindle by night.  I plan on reviewing my alphabet challenge books on DRB Review, and will slip in the odd Kindle review as the year progresses.  One thing I have learned about being an author, is the value of other's reviews.
To the authors I will be reading this year...it is my hopes my reviews help to bring notice to your novels, that turn over into sales.  Thank you to all the authors who have written the books I will be reading this year; you have given me a perfect escape.
