The ABC book challenge features a fun weekly post dedicated to interesting books that have been read or would hopefully be read starting with a specific letter of the alphabet.

While I do not know the original creator for this, I have seen this posted by Sofii (A Book. A Thought) and Tiana (The Book Raven ). Check out their sites ’cause they are amazing!

And this week, we’re onto the letter “E”!

Memorable titles starting with “E”

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine: I grew up reading Gail Carson Levine princess stories, including this lovely Cinderella retelling with a beautiful twist. All her stories are filled with imaginative creatures (and languages) and creative plots. And let’s not forget the bold and fierce females!

Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill: A land where magical people are hunted? Romantic tensions between a pair of misunderstood protagonists? This was the perfect fantasy formula that got my heart racing for a wonderful ride.

Everless by Sara Holland: Uniquely creative in a world where people tie time to their blood and use it as currency, this debut was intriguing from the start with unforeseen twists!

Titles I want to read starting with “E”

The Empress by S.J. Kincaid: The sequel to the sci fi, Diabolic, I’m anxious to see what awaits a protagonist I felt so empathetic for. Especially ’cause she’s not quite fully human (which always makes for something more fun to write in that POV)!

Empress of a Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza: I remember wanting to read this for the longest time and even borrowed it from the library once. I really need to actually get through this sci fi novel once and for all!

Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco: I know it’s like the 3rd book in the series so I suppose I’ll have to read it later but maybe this isn’t as scary? Especially with book 1 and 2 about Jack the Ripper and Dracula? Maybe?

Memorable titles starting with “D”

Dare You To by Katie McGarry: I already mentioned this series once with letter C but I fell in love with the writing and the romance between two individuals who didn’t seem right for each other at first. I sped through this book in one day and even now, can’t stop raving about it out of Katie’s many works.

The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman: this was my first real taste of historical fantasy and there’s no going back for me. Set in regency era of London, with kickass characters and some demon slaying and handsome love interests, I don’t know if there’s any other book quite like it for me. This was definitely the start of something amazing so please do yourself a favor and check it out!

Defy by Sara B. Larson: a fun fantasy with princes, magic and a girl disguised as a boy, this book was the formula for everything I love in a good fantasy novel. While it may not carry the most original storyline, this debut still lingers in my heart.

Divergent by Veronica Roth: yes, hopping onto the bandwagon but as dystopian worlds go, this book was creative and intriguing from the start. It may be overhyped sometimes but I think the hype was well warranted.

Dream a Little Dream by Kerstin Gier: strange, whimsical and utterly charming, this translated from German novel was like taking a trip down the rabbit hole into a world of dreams and shadows. For a YA read, it’s considerably less dark than most works in recent times and it’s truly a breath of fresh air and fun. Oh, and the cover is absolutely gorgeous!

Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy: soon to be a major notion picture, this lovely story about loving who you are and being proud of your own body warmed my heart to the core. I hope the film does it justice as this was a true gem among contemporaries.

Titles I want to read starting with “D”

Dagger and Coin by Kathy MacMillan: sequel to a beautiful book on words and prose, Sword and Verse, I’m ecstatic to see there’s more to a world I thought was pure wonder. Although a word of caution as I did think the ending to the first book was fine as it was.

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White: all I’ve heard was it’s a bit dark and well, Frankenstein-y, but I’m so down for this book celebrating the 200th year or Mary Shelley’s novel!

Dawn Study by Maria V. Snyder: I’ve loved this series since day 1 but the newer books I’ve struggled through a bit more. I’ve yet to finally finish this series (again), maybe out of fear that I won’t love it, but I aim to pick it up someday. Hopefully sooner.

The Devil’s Thief by Lisa Maxwell: is there more to say about the sequel to The Last Magician? More magic set in 1900s New York and secret orders hunting down our protagonists while they’re hunting down their own relics? I can’t wait to dive into this one!
