This month has my favorite holiday in it, Halloween. I have decided to make this Monthly challenge related to that or autumn or whatever you would like.

Possible words:
LEAVES
VAMPIRES
OWLS
BATS
ZOMBIES
MUMMIES
WITCH
SHAPE SHIFTER
FAIRY
GHOST
PUMPKINS
AUTUMN
HALLOWEEN
TRICK OR TREAT
ALL HALLOWS EVE

Much like last month I want you to pick a word and use that as an acronym. If your word is too long or specific than tell us what it is and chose the letters you want to do. You can use any part of the title of the books for your letters. Examples are below.

Examples:

This is the easy way:
C - Call of the Wild
O - The Odyssey
P - Letters To Pastors' Wives

The Call of the Wild by Jack London The Odyssey by Homer Letters to Pastors' Wives When Seminary Ends and Ministry Begins by Catherine J Stewart

More complicated choice:
I like Deep Water Marine Biologist. I can only manage to read 5 books for this challenge so I am going to do D T M R B.

D- Demonic Dora
T- Beyond the Wall
M- Mrs. Poe
R- Follow the White Rabbit
B- The Bookstore

Demonic Dora by Claire Chilton Beyond the Wall Exploring George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire by James Lowder Mrs. Poe by Lynn Cullen Follow the White Rabbit (Beautiful Madness, #1) by Kellie Sheridan The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler

Read as little or as much as you can, but please join us.

Happy Reading!
