I also have a question. If you end up reading the actual classic does that count or does it only count if you read a book with a word from the title?

[Cassandra]

Welcome to the challenge!

Here's the answer that I gave to someone else with the same question:

We encourage you to find new books - because part of the fun of the I-Spy game is searching for something that fits - but if you'd really like to read the classic, feel free. Bonus points if you do both!

[Maria]

Do you have to wait until January to start on these challenges for them to count?

[Susan C]

I'm in for all 25 for this challenge. I love the challenge of finding books that fit for these I-Spy challenges :-)

Maria, for it to count you need to finish the book in January, but there's nothing that says you can't get a head start on a long book before then.

Okay. That's great! Thanks!

Marina H wrote: "I have changed my profile name and added a H. Could you change it on the participant list also? I know there's another Marina in the group, so I thought it would make it easier to tell who is who :)"

How did you change your profile name? I am one of several Stephanie's and would like the distinction to know it is me when I am trying to find my posts. Thanks.

[Marina]

If you go to settings you can change your name there. You can either change your name or choose a profile name. I changed my name and added the H since it was already taken as a profile name.
You can't do from a phone. I think you have to use the desktop version and not an app

[Cassandra]

Thanks for the info, Marina!

In the meantime, I'm linking to your and the other Stephanie's profiles in the participants list to help keep you straight.

rules: Read a book that contains in its title a word that can be found in each of the classic book titles. The word needs to be there in its entirety; however, homographs (words that are spelled the same but mean different things) and words within words count. Articles (a, and, the) and any two letter words do not count.
