Annie learns her ABCs in 2023

I read about 200 books in a year which can technically accommodate 7 full alphabets. However, the distribution of letters is not linear so attempting for 7 will be an overkill . Instead of completing them one at a time, I will be doing them as a sets of 4 running in parallel (4 author ones and 4 title ones). The overflow at the bottom will be for all authors and/or titles which are extra to the 4 (maybe another set can be completed there? Doubt it because of a few letters (X for example) but...)

The same author cannot be in more than one author alphabet in the set. Co-authors don't count (so the number of titles will be higher than the number of authors this year) unless they work under a joint pseudonym (that name will count).

Starting date: 1 January 2023.

And it took me 5 days into the year to start on the second set and an extra day (a total of 6 days from the start of year) to start on the 3rd one... I blame it on the AlphaKIT over in the Category Challenge group - I may or may not have raided my local library's shelves to look for authors' family names starting with I...

And with the 10th book of the year (The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton), finished on 2023-01-12, I have a repeated letter in the titles as well so the second set is officially open for Book titles as well.

And the 13th book of the year It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken by Seth, I have a 4th author name starting with S so the 4th set is officially open on 2023-01-15. The way this is going, the overflow will open before this month is over...

I seem to be doing slightly better on filling the early sets on titles than on author names...
