Number Titles I am treating as a wild card as I doubt that I will be able to find books starting by some letters. A wild card is going to have the flexibility that should I read a book beginning with the chosen letter I can then move this book to another letter.

That's a good rule :)
Welcome (again) and good luck!

I see by your tickers that you are almost halfway done. Wow!

This is where an Alphabet Challenge can encourage you to pick up a book that surprises. Z for Zoli by Colum McCann was a moving and powerful book about people I had little knowledge of.
