Challenge Number One

I'm taking the A to Z challenge from http://2010atozchallenge.blogspot.com/ hosted by Becky. I learned of it from a great blog -- http://www.findyournextbookhere.com.

A -- Allende, Isabel, Portrait in Sepia

C -- Crichton, Michael, The Andromeda Strain
D -- Dubus III, Andre, House of Sand and Fog
E -- Elliot, Anna, Twilight of Avalon

I tried to balance new and old, books from the can't wait to read list and the I should read list. So let's see where the reading takes me. I am hoping to join other challenges but one step at a time, right?
