I think there is one every month of these mini challenges and I will have the rest of the year in this post.
This is spell/task challenge where you choose your level of participation: spell out, task, or a combination of both.
Challenge Rules:
Books should be at least 125 pages. All formats are acceptable (hardback, audio, ebook, etc). Re-reads are fine--just be sure to re-read the entire book. Please Note: Unless otherwise specified within the challenge rules, the following books are not allowed: manga, graphic novels, comic books, childrens books. When updating your challenge with books you've read, include the book title and author links, and the date you finished reading the book.
September:
I will only do the spell out part of the challenge this month:
Choose a word or phrase to spell out using the first letter of a book title or the first letter of the author's first or last name.
