June bugs and Summer Jitter Bug Reading Challenge
TO PLAY
Option 1
-- Do a traditional spell-it-out challenge by
selecting a word or words from the following bug or dance lists. Then spell out the word(s) using the first letter in the book's title, the first letter in the author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name. As always, if the first letter of a title starts with 'A', 'An', 'The', etc., you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word. FYI, you can opt to do a combination of any of the above
Example of a Spell-it-out:
T - Tom Clancy author or Patriot Games
I - Irreconcilable Differences by Kiki Howell
K - Knight, Theta in The Diviners by Libba Bray
Option 2
-- Read books which have covers with different bugs or people dancing different dances
Hint: tattoos of butterflies and other insects count
Option 3
