2. Use an author's first or last name.

** If you want your word to align neatly along the side of the comment box, enter a subject on the first line of the comment box, such as "I'm in" or "My challenge," then hit the enter key twice before spelling out your word vertically.
** Books DO NOT all have to be mysteries. You can use any genres.
** A book can only be used once for this challenge, but can be used for other challenges (such as the monthly mini challenges).
** You DO NOT have to choose books in advance.
** You do not have to spell the same word as everyone else, but can choose to spell out one of the following words (or combination of words) — obviously some will be more challenging.
