Overview
A lot of reading challenges here ask you to find book titles or author names starting with a given letter of the alphabet. Here's a different one: How about you look at the first word of the book’s first sentence instead?
They don't have to be amazing or memorable lines. Feel free to get creative if this gets too tricky (use "first word spoken in dialogue" instead, for example). Some of the letters that are less common in English books have been marked as bonus prompts.
