This challenge will last from September 22, 2016 to December 21, 2016

** This is a "spell-it-out" challenge, where you will spell out a word (or words) using one of two options:
1. Use only the first word of a title. (The words "the", "and" "a" and "an" do not count.)
2. Use an author's first or last name.

Example:

A
U
T
U
M
N = Cold Pursuit by Carla Neggers

G = Ghost at Work by Carolyn Hart
H
O
S
T


** Books DO NOT all have to be mysteries. You can use any genres.

** Use a book only once for this challenge (but you can use it for other challenges, such as the monthly mini challenges).

** You DO NOT have to choose books in advance.


As with the winter challenge, we are deviating from the norm. You do not have to spell the same word as everyone else, but can choose to spell out one of the following words (or combination of words) � obviously some words will be more challenging than others.

Here is your word list:

Acorns
Apples
Autumn
Bats
Black Cat
Boo
Cemetery
Chilly
Cider
Corn maze
Costume
Eerie
Fall
Football
Frankenstein
Ghost
Graveyard
Halloween
Harvest

Hayride
Jack-o-lantern
Leaves
Mischief
Pilgrim
Pumpkins
Scarecrow
Scary
School
Skeleton
Spooky
Sweater
Thanksgiving
Treat
Trick
Turkey
Windy
Witch

Woooo! I love the new seasonal challenges!

Hi Vintage. I like your thinking, but we are supposed to use the words from the list Heather generated in the first post. :) I'm sure you can find a word or two to fit the books you already have. :)

Going try for Autumn challenge; starting with one word. I have lots of books in my TBR pile that do not really fit well with the words, so going to do just one for now, and see how it goes.

.. Vintage. I like your thinking, but we are supposed to use the words from the list Heather generated in the first post. :) I'm sure you can find a word or two to fit the books you already have. :) "

The way GR copied part of Vintage's post made this confusing because her first word works for the challenge. Mischief IS on the word list.

I think it's the second word 'Managed' that Kimberly is referring to. Luckily you haven't started spelling that one yet and there's plenty of time to pick another word from the list.

I have to be honest and say that 5 of them are kids books, but thank you.

Alas, "managed" is not on the list, but this now has me thinking a "Harry Potter" themed challenged could be fun. '-D


Based on what I've already read and have slated in the immediate future, it looks like "Harvest" will be one of my words. I actually have three contenders for the letter V.
