October's Spell it Out! Challenge

Duration - October 1st - October 31st.

With this challenge you can choose to spell the word October, or you can choose to spell out a word (or words) that make you think of October.

For example -

C
O
S - Shannon Stacey - Yours To Keep
T
U - Undeniably Yours - Shannon Stacey
M
E - Exclusively Yours - Shannon Stacey

I chose "Costume" because this month is Halloween and kids and adults love to dress up. (And FYI - I LOVED all three of those books!)

As you update your reading stats, please list the actual number at the top of your post so that I can easily find it and list it when I update the participants list.

(Thank you for the banner, Lisa Kay!)

You're welcome, Dhes! :) I like your picture of the leaves above.

Thanks! :) I'm trying to pretty things up a bit. That way when I want to start charging for the challenges, it'll totally be worth it and no one will balk at the price at all! But that's just between you and me.

Oh, that's PRICELESS! I love it!

Thanks, Dhes! They all have a ghost, ghost related, or something spooky in them. I'm counting Boo in To Kill a Mockingbird. ☺

Awesome!!!!

To be honest, seeing how you all make these book 'count' is half the fun for me!

It is fun! I love seeing what people come up with.
