Originally by Jana H on December 7, 2024 “Spell the Month in Books is a pretty straightforward monthly linkup. Find a book title that starts with each letter in the month’s name, make a list, share your link, and that’s it! The linkup opens on the first Saturday of the month and remains open through the end of the month so that you can participate whenever is convenient. At the end of each linkup post I share optional challenge themes for the next three months and a button that you can embed in your post if you want an easy way to point others here.” https://booksplease.org/category/memes/spell-the-month-in-books/#:~:text=Spell%20the%20Month%20in%20Books%20is%20a%20linkup%20hosted%20by,all%20there%20is%20to%20it!
