When I was a kid I loved to chase grasshoppers and catch butterflies, then one day I caught the reading bug!
Duration: You set the pace!
Rules: Pick one or more letters or do the whole alphabet from A-Z!
Spell-It-Out: For each letter of the alphabet, pick the name of an insect or an entomological term, then read books with titles, series names, authors (first or last name), characters (first or last name), that begin with letters that correspond to letters of the word you choose. You may ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc).
Bonus: You may substitute any letter with a book if it has an insect name in the title or a picture of an insect on the cover (Hint: tattoos of butterflies and other insects count).
Example:
For letter H, I chose the word head.
H Between Sisters by Kristin Hannah - author Hannah
E Eat, Pray, Love - title Eat
A Kiss the Girls - series Alex Cross
D The Book of Lost Things - character David
For letter X, I chose the bonus option.
X The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death - insect in title
