Our next member spell is ABBEY. Don't let those Y letters get the best of you :)

The goal is to see how many times you can spell out ABBEY with the books you read between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020. There is a catch: you must complete one full spell out before moving on to the second round. Rounds do NOT have to be completed in order after you have successfully completed round 1. You are welcome to spell out the first round and consider the challenge complete, or you may move on to additional rounds of the spell out.

To complete the challenge, read a book for each of the letters below using the following options: (1) first letter of the book title, (2) first letter of the author's first or last name, (3) first letter of a series title, or (4) first letter of the main character's first or last name.
