This challenge will last from September 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020
** This is a "spell-it-out" challenge, where you will spell out a word (or words) using one of two options:
1. Use only the first word of a title. (The words "the", "and" "a" and "an" do not count.)
2. Use an author's first or last name.
Example:
A
U
T
U
M
N = Cold Pursuit by Carla Neggers
G = Ghost at Work by Carolyn Hart
H
O
S
T
** Books DO NOT all have to be mysteries. You can use any genres.
** Use a book only once for this challenge (but you can use it for other challenges, such as the monthly mini challenges).
** You DO NOT have to choose books in advance.
You do not have to spell the same word as everyone else, but can choose to spell out one of the following words (or combination of words) — obviously some words will be more challenging than others.
