2 books that should be out later this year can fill in a couple of blanks:
F-Farworld book 3, J. Scott Savage
V-Variant, Robison Wells
Have you read The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom?
The Ender's Game Saga has a book in it called "Xenocide" so that can fill your "X" spot, and they're really good, easy books to read.
Also, if you know the story of Hamlet, you can read Rozencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead for your "R" spot. Or Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan.
For "Q", I actually recommend "The Question of God." It's a "debate" over philosophical issues using the words of Freud and Lewis. I was very firm in my LDS beliefs before I read the book, and I actually found the whole thing fascinating. It was actually a reinforcement of my faith. It made me very, very sad for Freud.
Love this. Thanks for your book suggestions... I bought "Matched" for my iPad and I have been reading it! :)
Ooh-fun idea. I really like Bright Blue Miracle. I'm in LOVE with Lightening Theif. The Mark was pretty good, but I can't figure out if there's supposed to be a sequal?
F-Forrest Born (it's the fourth Goose Girl series book).

Okay-I know I have/have read books with titles starting with those letters but I'm at work right now. I'll get back to you when I'm at home:)
Duh-R could be River Secrets with is the 3rd book in the Goose Girl series:)
You don't lack for M submissions but there is a glaring omission, nevertheless.
HEIDI! Thank you. I tried to remember all the books that were coming out THIS year and I knew I forgot a few. I've already added 2 more since the post was published. I'm going to add Miss Delacourt Has Her Day!
You guys this is wonderful! Keep 'em coming.
Did you read Fire? The prequel for Graceling? I really enjoyed it and many people like it better than Graceling.
If you want to read a "classic" you could read Fahrenheit 451. It wasn't my favorite, although it does have a good message.
Have you read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier? It's a really good book.
Remember Me is my favorite Mary Higgins Clark book.
Another book Marry Higgins Clark book is You Belong to Me.
Sorry I don't have anything for Q, V, X, or Z. I'll keep thinking.
WOW...you do a lot of reading. How do you fit it all in.
I am retired and don't find myself getting through books as fast as I'd like.
100 books in 52 weeks....IMPRESSED
cooll way to change up your reading for the year.
Oh man, I love this idea!
Okay... Z is for Zookeeper's Wife. I'm not usually a fan of non-fiction, but this one is an exception. Such a great story.
I love that you are joining this challenge!
I'm going to look over your list..you and I seem to have similar taste in books. Maybe I will be able to fill some holes in my own list!
F- Forbidden Sea by Sheila Nielson or Fallen by Lauren Kate or Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta
Q- Queen of Attolia (It's the second book in The Queen's Thief series) by Megan Whalen Turner
R- Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier (one of my all-time favorites!)or Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly (loved this one too!)
V- Vixen by Jillian Larkin (fun chick lit) or Viral by Kathy Reich is on my To-Read list
X-Xenocide by Orson Scott Card (3rd in the series)
Y- A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck (Another favorite that won the Newbery Award!)
Z- Zel by Donna Jo Napoli (It's a Rapunzel retelling, it wasn't my favorite, but it starts with Z)
Hope those help you out! Good luck with your goal! Are you planning on reading them in alphabetical order?
I used your A-Z idea! http://archangelmusic.blogspot.com/2011/02/she-said-alphabet-soup.html
Oh, and P.S. Finished "Matched." Loved it. Beautiful words.
You guys are great. I'm adding so many to my goodreads list!
Oh and Kayla, I'm not reading them in order. I have a handful that I have to have done by a certain time for scheduled reviews or book chats.
