S Seize the Night 3* ✔️ 1-20-18This challenge allows you to set your own goals - do as much or as little as you want in whatever time frame works for you! You can choose how many states you want to spell out within a certain period, just set a duration and see how many you can manage, or make it an open-ended challenge and see how long it takes you to spell out all 50 states - the possibilities are (almost) endless.
* Re-reads are allowed
* Minimum page limit: 50
* You can use books read for other challenges but can't use the same book twice within this challenge
* Author name (first, middle, last), book title, series title, and character name (main characters only) can be used
I'm in! Thanks for setting this up Denise. I know I will fail on the page count, but I'll claim that failure up front and soldier on.

A companion to our TCF Around the World Spell Out, this one takes you on a trip around the US, through all 50 states if you so choose.
This challenge allows you to set your own goals - do as much or as little as you want in whatever time frame works for you! You can choose how many states you want to spell out within a certain period, just set a duration and see how many you can manage, or make it an open-ended challenge and see how long it takes you to spell out all 50 states - the possibilities are (almost) endless.
* Re-reads are allowed
* Minimum page limit: 50
* You can use books read for other challenges but can't use the same book twice within this challenge
* Author name (first, middle, last), book title, series title, and character name (main characters only) can be used
