You may not be aware, but Mod Trea is also a mod for The Challenge Factory group. Each month as she set up their TCF Monthly Challenge, she would add in a word that had been chosen from a dictionary website's Word of the Month list. When TCF Member Book Concierge suggested that they split the Spell Out Section of the TCF Monthly out into its own challenge, Mod Trea decided to pull those dictionary words out of the monthly spell out list and make them their own challenge for that group. Many thanks go out to Book Concierge for her suggestion, however, upcoming new challenges in The Challenge Factory Group have made Mod Trea’s Dictionary challenge redundant over there, so she’s decided to share it with us here in RLftCI!

How It Works:
★This will be a spell out challenge only, so pick your level, then pick your books.
★Spell out the listed words using Title (First letter of first word in the title only, but check the Do Not Count list below for exceptions!), Author Name (First and last only, no middle initials or names (unless noted)!), or Series Name (First letter of first word in the series name only, but check the Do Not Count list below for exceptions!). If using series name, be sure to add it next to your entry!! (Example: S-Loving Irish (The Summerhaven Trio #3) by Katy Regnery)
★When using titles for letters, the words A, And, An, and The do not count.
��Books read can be used for only one letter in one word! NO DUPLICATING BOOKS OVER MULTIPLE WORDS!!
★Books must be read from January 1st to January 31st, 2019
★Re-reads are allowed, but all books must be at least 50 pages in length!
★You CAN change your Books at any time during the challenge.
�� If curious, Mod Trea is happy to provide links to the Dictionary websites she used, however, you are not allowed to use a word from those sites that is not listed in this challenge!!

Some Info to Keep In Mind:
♦Keep your original post updated and give a shout out in the thread when you're all done! Please do not make a separate post with your finished challenge, edit your original comment! This is so I can keep accurate track of participation. You can make an announcement post like "Finished in comment #2!", so I know where to find your completed challenge to congratulate you! Duplicate posts will be deleted!
♦Mark books as finished by adding the date finished next to the book listed and either striking them out using the "< s> < /s>" HTML commands (without the spaces) or by copying and pasting a checkmark: �� ��
♦Add a tally of completed books to your Original Post= 0/5 completed!

See Mod Trea’s post for examples and if you have questions, PLEASE ask her here in the thread, or PM her!

Attention, Participants! In honor of Mod Trea's 40th Birthday, her husband gifted her a dictionary that he "annotated" by highlighting all the words in it that he felt described her. She passed along a couple of the words and asked me to add them to the list to offer more choices for the month. Feel free to change your words if you would like!

I know, right! Money was tight, always is right after Christmas, but this took time and dedication for him to do! Didn't cost much, but it was an awesome gift!

It doesn't matter how much something cost but the thought and the effort that goes towards it matter.
Happy birthday :)

It was indeed!

Read 8/11 on post 5 but couldn't complete either of the 2 words I chose. Couldn't change to other words to complete it either. Better luck for me in February!
