Juana "Darkness" Duran | 423 comments Quick question: Do we pick the continents that we want to do a spell it out? Or do we have to do a spell it out for all the continents? Just want to make sure because I joined a challenge a couple days ago and didn't read the rules and you no what came next.

Hi Catherine,

Yes, if choose the spelling option you can use the first letter of the title or author's first or last name. If you choose to do the bonus option as well, then the setting for each book has to be the in the continent you are spelling out (or where the author is from or continent's name in title) .

Hey Elise! I'm glad you like the challenge. This is my first time hosting, but based on previous quarterly challenges, I don't mind if you repost with your updates. (Moderators, feel free to correct me if this is a problem.)

What I can suggest is that if you know your post is going to be rather large (yay for you for reading a lot!), you can always post updates every 2-3 books if that'd be easier. I know I do that sometimes.

Welcome to the challenge!
