Oh my....it looks like I forgot to post this one for October 2020. So here's what we can do: (1) I've backdated the start date to October 1, 2020 so that if you wish to, you may include anything you read from October 1, 2020 and forward through the end date of December 31, 2020; (2) You may just start your challenge from the posting date of today, or use November 1, 2020 as your start date. Either of these works for me, so it's whichever option works best for you. Hopefully, I can stay on track going forward :)

Here is how it works...see how many times you can spell out KIM with the books you read between October 1, 2020 through the end of December 31, 2020. The catch is, 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.

Spell Out 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
4. First letter of the main character's first or last name

Well done, Connie!

I know what you mean about it being short but difficult. It's the craziest thing. Was it the I letter that was most difficult do you think?

[Connie N.]

Nope, I had more trouble with K.

[jingles]

Interesting...

It's always surprising to me what snags we run into during the course of a challenge. Right now, I have about 5 (long) spell challenges where I'm stuck needing a gazillion R letters.

[Connie N.]

Yeah, I'm always surprised at how much trouble I have with R books. I think it's the large quantity needed.

[jingles]

Funny that you mention R letters, Connie. I have about 5 (very long) spell challenges where I'm stuck needing what seems like a gazillion Rs. Before I thought my enemy in spell challenges was the letter N. Not so these days...it's R.

[Connie N.]

I have 3 R titles on my schedule for this month. I'm currently reading Rough & Ready and loving it so far. Others are Royal Treatment (same author, different series) and Rough Ride.

Good luck!

[jingles]

Awesome, Connie. Thank you!!
