"Lettuce Create A Garden" Spell-out Challenge

[Diana S]

"Lettuce Create A Garden" Spell-out Challenge
Duration: April 1 thru April 30, 2016

I've noticed that some of you share my love of gardening. So I thought we can create our own vegetable garden this month.

First of all, take this quiz What Vegetable Are You?

Once you find out what type of vegetable you are, tells us, and thats the vegetable you spell-out. You can make your vegetable plural to help with your books.

It's that easy.

Challenge Rules
1. One book for each letter.
2. You may use * the first letter of first word of a book's title (exclude a, an, the)
OR * the initials of an author's first or last name,
OR * the initials of the main character's first or last name.
3. All books must be 100 pages or more. Re-reads are allowed as long as you actually read the book. No skimming!
4. Add the date that you completed each book. Your rating is optional.

Have Fun & Happy Reading! :D
