Boggle is a word game in which players try to find as many words as they can from a grid of lettered dice, within a set time limit. But I think we can use that grid of letters to help us with our TBR lists.

Can you spell a word on the Boggle board using your TBR books?

The letter must connect to a book on your TBR in an obvious way. Such as:
the author's first, middle, or last initial
the month that the book was published
the publisher's name
the first word of the title (you can use or ignore A, An, The)
the first word of the series name (you can use or ignore A, An, The)
the MC's first or last name
the narrator's first or last name
the name of the location where the book is set
the book's MPG (like: Fiction, Adventure, Childrens, Romance)

Rules:
Duration: Oct. 1 - 31, 2025
* No page limit.
* No letter limit for words. I will accept words as short as 1 letter.
* You cannot use any letter on the Boggle board more than once in a word, and the consecutive letters of your words must be adjacent to each other horizontally, vertically, or even diagonally.
* The book must have been on your TBR list for at least one day.
(Actually, I don't even mind if you use books that are not on your TBR list :)
