December 2013 Reading Challenge

[Amy (DemonKittie)]

I am going a little easier for this challenge and you can pick how easy or hard by your choice of word. Pick a word that makes you think of winter or Christmas and use the acronym to pick your books and spell that word.

Example words are:
WINTER
SNOW
SNOWBALL FIGHT
CHRISTMAS
EGGNOG
SANTA CLAUS
COOKIES
SNICKERDOODLES
FAMILY
YULE LOG

If your word is too long or specific, then 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.

***Easy way***
S - The Shining
N - Nevermore
O - Odd Thomas
W - Wicked


***Shortcut way***
My word is Merry Christmas but I can only read 4 books. I chose to use M R C S

M - Blue Moon
R - Rage
C - Blood Canticle
S - Doctor Sleep


Read as much or as little as you want and have fun!

[Amy (DemonKittie)]
