Can we do a spell it out of each Wonder? Or just one?
Either way, Sarah. You want to do all seven? Go for it. ☺
I was thinking about it, but now that I look at all the different Wonders, that might end up being a huge spell it out. LOL I might just be crazy enough to do it.
I bet you could do it, especially if you just used the focus word. You can choose any of the 7 Wonders.
Awesome, thanks! I'll set up a post and then think about it :D

Great, Barbara! Love the pics. Welcome to the challenge.
Catherine, that is fine. The 7 Wonders of the Natural World are mentioned up there right before the first hyperlink. Should I put it in bold? Or did you feel it deserved a spoiler? Yeah, you're probably right... it did deserve one.
Okay, Catherine, I made the hyperlink bold and I did a spoiler for some of the 7 Wonders for the Natural World.
Great, NayNay! Love your books. Welcome to the challenge.
Thanks Lisa Kay there is a couple on the list that have been sitting around forever...I love these challenges I get to books I should of read ages-ago!

Great, Sara! Welcome to the challenge.
Of course I have to partake of the challenge I designed! I'll be doing 7 wonders of the Medieval world. After all, I do participate in medieval re-enactment and, for the most part, my collection of books is mostly medieval related. :) Glad to see so much activity on it this soon. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I'm going to do this but I don't know when i'll start. I've been in something of a reading slump
Gayle wrote: "Of course I have to partake of the challenge I designed!"Super challenge, Gayle! I didn't realize you participate in medieval re-enactments. Neat. Welcome to your own challenge. LOL!
