and so on for the rest of the challenge :)
Bonus LevelRepeat the 2024 spelling challenges, choosing a different word/phrase than you did the first time around. Again, remember to tell us which challenge each word/phrase is from.
Special Notes:
1 - For challenges that you haven't yet completed, you may NOT use the same book for the same letter in this challenge that you use in the challenge you're still working on. You MAY use the same book, but it must be for a different letter!
2 - You must tell us which word/phrase you've chosen to spell when you sign up for the challenge.
Additional Rules for Spelling Challenges:
Note that all of the above rules apply IN ADDITION TO these.
♦ To spell out your words/phrases, you may use the first letter of the first word in the book’s title – excluding A, An and The – or the author’s first or last initial (middle names or initials can NOT be used).
♦ If you use books that are in a language other than English, please translate those titles into English for the purposes of this challenge, unless you plan to use that language for the entire challenge. If you do use another language for the whole challenge, please remember that the translations of exempt words/phrases -- for example, A, An and The -- would be exempt as well.
♦ For author's initials,
-In the case of a hyphenated first or last name (i.e. Sarah-Kate Lynch, Kate Dyer-Seeley), the first letter of the hyphenated name may be used (not the second initial directly following the hyphen).
-If an author uses what appears to be "two last names" (usually a female author using her maiden name and then her married last name; i.e. Kathy Hogan Trocheck), the last initial of the two names counts since the maiden name is now serving in the place of a "middle" name.

SPECIAL NOTES:
1 - For challenges that you haven't yet completed, you may NOT use the same book for the same task in this challenge that you use in the challenge you're still working on. You MAY use the same book, but it must be for a different task!
2 - For challenges with scavenger tasks and a spelling portion, your task for this challenge MUST be a scavenger task, unless otherwise specified in the challenge list below.
3 - For tasks requiring more than one book, you must read that number of books for this challenge.
4 - Since this challenge has no deadline, we ask that you do not backdate. Just start with the books you read since you joined the challenge :)
CHALLENGE RULES - PLEASE READ!
See this thread for more detailed rules for CCC challenges.
❖ If you want to participate in a challenge, sign up by posting at least a partial list of the challenge requirements. This gives us a post to link you to, which you can use to update your books as the challenge progresses.
❖ Books must be at least 150 pages long (unless they are graphic novels, see below) and may only be used for one task in this challenge, but cross-challenge posting is encouraged.
❖ Graphic novels must be at least 300 pages long, but two books can be combined to make up the page count as long as they both meet the same criteria.
❖ For each book you read, please post a link to the title and mention the author and the date you finished reading it. If a challenge task gives several options, make it clear which option you’ve chosen. If the task calls for an item/color on the cover, include a link to the book cover.* If it’s not obvious from the book title or cover, be sure to explain how your book fits the task. If you don’t, you won’t get credit for completing that task.
❖ If you want the challenge moderator to verify those books as you post them, please copy/paste your update into a new message. If you do this while you still have the Edit window open, it will copy all of your formatting, etc. too. It will make it easier on the moderators if we won't have to scroll back through the entire thread looking for "message #15," or to follow links back to an original post.
❖ When you complete the challenge, please post your entire list as a new message to make it easier for everyone to see what you’ve read :) If you don’t repost your list, your name will not be added to the list of those who have completed the challenge.
❖ Rereads are allowed, as long as you read the entire book and not just skim the best portions! :)
* If you don’t know how to post a link to the book title, cover or author, see the instructions HERE.
