I borrowed this idea from Mogsy at the Bibliosanctum – (who borrowed it from Bionic Book Worm, who hosts the meme Top 5 Tuesdays where for the month of July the themed topics are books that start with a letter of the alphabet.  I decided, like the Bibliosanctum, to see if I could come up with an A-Z of books. As I’ve missed the July Theme this sounds like a way to still take part.  So here’s my A-Z list of books – this is not some sort of definitive ‘best of’ list.  Just an A-Z to see if I could come up with books for each – as it is, I couldn’t find a book that I’ve read beginning with ‘x’ – but there are some mighty find books on here so feast your eyes on my A-Z:
