Nora Roberts Groupies discussion

We received a recommendation to create quarterly challenges and thought it was a great idea (thank you, Robin!). The Spell it Out challenges seem to be popular so we thought we’d start with that in 2021 but tailor it to Nora’s Book List instead of a theme.

Our last one for the year is a word from any title of your choice! Instructions are below.

Fall Quarterly Spell it Out Challenge - Pick Any Title
1. Select one of Nora’s titles to spell out a word in that title.
2. The word must have a minimum of four letters.
3. Read a book where the title or the author’s name (first or last) begins with the first letter of the word you selected for every letter in your word.
4. Skip prepositions such as “the,” and “a” in a book title.

Copy and paste the template below. Create your own Challenge and update it as necessary.
