Thank You A to Z Challenge2026, I enjoyed this annual April series.

I love a working bloghop. During my first one month long bloghop for #AtoZChallenge 2025, I exhausted myself and neglected to participate in the reflection and road tour. However, I feel I’m the one doing the hopping. I visited many bloggers but they didn’t have the time to return visits so I stopped.

I saw the list of registered participants in A to Z Challenge at the beginning of April 2026. In April itself, more signed up because they didn’t know registration started in March.

Even without reciprocal visits, a month long blog challenge is also good. It provides the valid reason to post for a month on a consistent Challenge and do internal linking.

Feedback

I have a suggestion which may or might not facilitate reciprocal bloghop visits. Participants may benefit more if they were paired to visit their partner’s blog posts. They would be accountable to visit their assigned partner’s posts. If any participant wants to visit extra posts which belong to other bloggers, they are welcome to share their time with them.

J Lennie Dorner, one of the organizers and co-host of A to Z Challenge 2026, has been responsibly supportive and has visited my blog 3 times. Dear J, Thank you.

I don’t read that genre of fiction or I would buy them, read them. and review them.

My special friend blogger, Mimi, has visited consistently.

Other bloggers have tried to keep up. I send my thanks to all participants in this year’s A to Z Challenge. You all have made it happen. God bless.
