•When you find one of the items, list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), date it, & rate it. Then specify where the item is found within the book. For audiobooks try to put the chapter if possible. If not, then at least let us know you got it from an audiobook.

6. Cross-challenging is encouraged! You may use the same book for more than one challenge.

7. You may post a reading list in advance or post it as you go - whichever you prefer

8. You may update you original post with your progress or you may repost as you go.

9. With each book finished please include a link to the title, a link to the author and the date you finished it.

The Extreme Jelly Bean Challenge

This is an open ended challenge so, take as long as you need.

The main link for this challenge is here.

My link is here.

This challenge is a twist on the ever popular Spell-Out challenges. As with any spell-out challenge you spell the word using the first letter of a book (excluding a, an, the), an author's first or last name, series name, or main character's name. The twist is the book you choose has to have a cover with the color of the jelly bean on it to match with the letter. It doesn't have to be the whole cover just a splotch will do.
