This challenge will run from the start of December 2021 to end of February 2022.
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 letter of the first word of a title (the words “the,� “a,� and “an� do not count). For example, if you choose to spell out the word “winter,� you might use Winter Chill by Joanne Fluke for the letter “W.�
2. Use an author’s first or last name. Eg: for the word winter, you might use a book by “Ellery Adams� for the letter “E�.
Example:
W = Winter Chill by Joanne Fluke
I
N
T
E = The Secret, Book and Scone Society by Ellery Adams
R
** If you want your letters to line up evenly along the edge, you need to type something on the first line such as “I’m in� or “Winter challenge,� then hit the enter/return key twice. Now your words will align evenly. 😉
** Books DO NOT all have to be mysteries. You can use any genres.
** A book may be used only once for this challenge, but can be used for other challenges (such as the monthly mini challenges).
** You DO NOT have to choose books in advance.
** You do not have to spell the same word as everyone else, but can choose to spell out one of the following words � obviously some will be more challenging. Words in parentheses are optional.
