Inspired by Denea who wanted to read a Meerkat instead of a Rabbit in the 'What Animal Are You? Reading Challenge'. This is a Spell It Out challenge. Pick an animal for each letter of the alphabet and read books with titles, character (first or last name), or authors (first or last name) that begin with letters tha correspond to letter of the animal you choose. As always, if a title starts with a, an, the, etc you may use the second word of the title. Let me know if we should add any animals.
The duration of this challenge is 1 year (or should I make it 2 years). Have fun.
I had set my self the goal to complete this challenge in 2 years. Instead I have managed to finish it in less than a year. I think that is really well done.
