Very impressed you managed to find something for X. I’ve tried this challenge a couple of times and always got stuck on that one 🙂

Do you pick your own books or is it a Litsy suggested reading list? I think I might do an A-Z list as well as the Bingo, but I’m going to create my list as I go. If I plan out my list I will never do it, but if I say, I need to read a “C” book then I will search for something. Also, I’ve been thinking of doing it by Author name too that way I can explore even more! All that being said, let me know how An Ishmael of Syria is. I’ve had my eyes on it since it came out.

You make your own list – people have mixed it up and done the list by author name (which makes x a lot easier to find) or a mix of author name and title. My list is a mixture of two challenges I was already noodling with for next year anyway, but whatever works for you is always the best way to go.
An Ishmael in Syria looks great – I think it might be the first cab off the rank in 2017. 🙂
