Come play HOB's version of I Spy! You will have two years to complete the challenge. The best part? You'll be creating your own tasks to go along with the items in the images! There are SO MANY ways to make your books fit. You are only limited by your own creativity.

I will create a thread for you to use in any way that makes sense to you, and it will have a link to your spreadsheet. HOWEVER, all official tracking and checking in will be done via the simple, individual spreadsheet and the Check-In Thread. Please don't be intimidated by the use of the spreadsheet. I will be glad to help you figure it out in the beginning.

There will be 20 images to work with and you will create three tasks/read three books for each image. You can jump around and go in any order you wish. You can complete them all, or just get to as many as possible over the course of the two years. It's all pretty laid back!

Once you have completed all three books per image, post a link to that specific tab on the spreadsheet in the I Found It! Check-In Thread.
