Summer is a time for getting out of the house and getting together with friends and family for a picnic. So for July we decided a Picnic in July would be the perfect theme for a challenge.
For this challenge read/do one or more of the following:
- Read books which contain scenes of a picnic on the cover or picnic related items or events.
- Do a traditional spell-it-out challenge spelling out the word(s) associated with picnic (or the word picnic itself) using the first or last letter of a character's or author's first, last, or 'nick' name. Or you can use the first letter of the title. If the title begins with A, An, The, etc then you may use the first letter of the second word of the title.
Example of a Spell-it-out challenge:
A - America; character in The Selection by Kiera Cass
N - Nicholas Sparks author of The Lucky One
T - Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
