For the author related ones can I use author that are pen names? For instance Alex Archer, Franklin W. Dixon, etc. Author names that are owned by a company and have multiple authors writing the books behind the scenes.

Yep! That's fine, Gord!

One more interesting challenge :) Sounds good!

This month has been a good start for me how about everyone else?

I've filled 8 of the tasks so far and haven't looked at the spelling side yet. I'll figure that part out later.

So far I have 6 categories filled... not great, but also not too terrible. Lol.

Not as good as the previous one but I'll try to hit more prompts :)

Going pretty well for me At 25 books already. Have spelt out FALL, finished Holidays, Authors, Settings. Missing one for TBR and 3 for Titles.

Great! We have one more month left :) Let's do it!

This quarter I ended up reading 14/16 books and 12/20 prompts 😅 Better luck this quarter, I guess. Lol.

I started this challenge but never actually made a post about it... uhh my bad.

Somehow I managed to fill almost all the letters in both words and missed only one prompt :D

That's great, you guys! Nice job!

Well done Elena!
