Clever idea, Jan! I may copy you. Okay? BTW, welcome to the challenge.

Well, Elaine... you pick a word or a phrase and spell it by first using titles and then using authors. Or any other category, like series names. Understand?

You may do both and mix 'n match, if you wish, Tyler.

Sure, Becky. What alternate name a series is known as is fine. Also, we'll take you use of "Rachel Morgan" as either the series name and again as character name, if you wish, as long as it is a different book read.

Thanks! I will edit my original post since it's been bookmarked for me. I can wait to attempt this.

I decided to only do characters and Titles.

For example, pick a word like your name or initials, the group’s name or abbreviation, the month you started this challenge or your birthday month, the name of your favorite book character, etc.
Then read books that begin with letters that correspond to letters of the word you have chosen. You may ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc.). For character names, you may use or ignore their titles, as benefits you.
You may work on all the repeated words at the same time, you do not have to do one first and then the next.
You may NOT repeat a book and use it for multiple categories. Such as using a book’s series name and then again for its title. However, you may use books from the same series, as long as it is another book you’ve read.
All media acceptable, such as audio or manga. No page length restriction.
If you need to know how, here is the link to “Add a link to a book, an author or a book cover.” Spell It Out Examples of Categories: - Spelling the initials of our group. This challenge also appears in Series Readers Anonymous.
This challenge is in honor of the movie Groundhog Day (1993), directed by Harold Ramis, starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott, and Stephen Tobolowsky. Murray plays Phil Connors, an arrogant and egocentric Pittsburgh TV weatherman who, during an assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again. (Wiki) If you have NOT seen it, we highly recommend you do.
