Rules: Pick your favorite title with one of the four seasons in its title and see how many audiobooks you can listen to with the rest of the words from the title. Choose the season you are currently experiencing wherever you live in the world. You can use the singular or plural of the “seasonal word” you choose. Variations on spelling are also allowed. You can just see how many you accumulate, or set a goal. They must all be audiobooks!

Further Explanation: Where I live it is currently Summer. Though I have yet to hear the audiobook, one of my favorite books is Lisa Kleypas’ book Secrets of a Summer Night. So I must select words that occur within this book title, the series title (Wallflowers), has a character named Summer (or one with the last name of Knight), the author’s (Lisa or Kleypas) or narrator’s name (Rosalyn or Landor), or takes place during the season in which I am doing the challenge (summer) or in a place with the season in the location.
Bonus: You can elect to choose a bonus book are not. Listen to the book you are using for the title or another one by that author or that narrator.
