~ July 2018 Challenge: Here’s the Thing ~
Okay, we mods were racking our brains to come up with something for July. Then lightening stuck. Thing!

Rules:   Read a book that has “thing” in the Title or Series Name. In Post #2 below, we provided a list to help in your search. Or spell out “thing” or one of the other words below. Feel free to do a combo of both.

Duration:   July 1st - 31st, 2018

Levels:
1-2 - Easy
3-5 - Medium
6-9 - Harder
10 or more - Hardest
Categories:   Find books with Titles or Series Names that contain some form of the word “thing.” See words from Post #2 below.

Spell-It-Out Option:   Select a word from Post #2 below. Or, as always, choose one that speaks to you of July, and Spell-It-Out. Read books with titles, series names, authors (first or last name), character (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.).
Example of Spell-It-Out: - Our example uses books coming out in July, but you may use any books published at any time.

I.   - Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews
