Festive spelling

This is a 3 week challenge, running from the 17th of December, until the 7th of January.

For this challenge, you choose a Christmas or New year related word, (Example - Turkey, gifts, fireworks) and spell it with book titles.

After you've completed one word, you may choose another.

Not only will you get the usual bonus point for reading the book with a buddy, you will also get a bonus point every time a mods initial is used in your word. ( A, G, J, N, S )

When you've chosen what word you want, please post it in this thread.


Rules:

• You have to complete your first word before choosing another.

• For a book to count, the first letter in the first word of your title must begin with a letter in your chosen word.
However, if the title starts with "A" or "The" You may skip that, and use the first letter in the next word.
For example, If the book you are reading is
The Summoning you may either use T in "The" or the S in "summoning"

• Books submitted must be read from the 17th of December, to the 7th of January.

• A book can only be used once.

• Buddy read must take place in our group to count.

• 1 reread per word is allowed.

• Books must be over 100 pages

• For all other rules, including what we expect for a review or buddy read to count, please take a quick look here:

Prizes:

• 1 winner for having the most points
• 1 winner drawn by raffle

Maybe 'pud' I can't really think of any others though, Elf was a good one.

V's a bit of an awkward letter though!

What about bow? Or maybe toy?


message 39: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
Those are both good ☺ I suppose you could even do 'boy' or 'gin' or 'rum' or something! Maybe when we've got 3 days to go and have finished the word we were doing!

If you go on the books page, and scroll down, it should say "Review"

Under that, it should say "comment" and "see review"
Press "see review" and copy the URL at the top. (Like where is says Goodreads.com) and paste it here.

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
If you can find your way to the page that your review is on, like this -


It is literally a case of just cutting and pasting the web address (the www. bit) and that should then link to your review ☺


onceuponatimeareview | 2335 comments I tried both , but it didn't work? Any other suggestions.
