SPELL-IT-OUT RULES
Spell out the word(s) using the first letter in the book's title, the first letter in the author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name, or the first letter of the series name.
As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.
If the first letter of a title is a numerical digit, then you use the first letter of that digit for your spell out (i.e. 1984 is N; 2046 is T; 1Q84 is O)
If you are listening to an audiobook, the first letter in the narrator's first or last name also can be used.
We're also allowing for Translators names, as long as the edition you are reading is a translation version.

No worries! Some of us read 15, some 4! Some 2!!
All are accepted:)

Oooooh does playing LOTR trivia game and occasionally winning count as an SME? I mean, besides reading the books and having the extended versions of all of the movies……
I could help :)

Yes! That was a lot of fun. I hope to see you all again!

There is no round 6 :( :(
That was the end!
I'll do some figuring and see what we ended up with.

I updated the tracking sheet :)

I haven't been able to find many of these in my library, so I'll wait until a hopeful present of a book certificate comes for Christmas :)

I did read Pride, Prejudice and Zombies, which was entertaining! That was on Libby Kindle.

We are doing pretty well this week! We have covered our word 3 times already which is great :)

I never knew there were so many zombie books!

Wow! I just looked it up. That looks amazing. What did you see?

Did you have a nice vacation?

I second Dread Nation. I loved that book.

I've got Hollow Nation and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies checked out. I've really wanted to read Gideon the Ninth, so I'll see about that one too.

Green is a tough color! I didn’t think it would be, but it seems to be.

Round 4 words, etc are out. I've started a new tag on the tracking sheet.

WORD: Jade City
COLOR: Green
TAG: Contemporary

Awesome. I want to finish An Immense World which works for green and a Y or an I :)
I have it on Kindle. It's all of the sudden really hard to get a hold of!

Phew! I've finally finished my audio - 25 hours but on double speed.... I think I caught most? of it :)

It looks like we are doing pretty well this week, team!
Kerri, nice book that's pink, has tags for queer AND a Z character!
I think we can definitely get the books spelled once. I think we should go for a second round too :) Z and O seem to be the letters to search for!

I just plunked in some meals, and will probably put in a couple more, but I'm mostly done too. I have enjoyed being on this team!

Vicky wrote: "Per the captain's group it has to be queer, though I'd be surprised if many books (outside of books with very few reviews/tags in general) wouldn't be tagged as both."

Right!

Nice!

Does LGBTQ count in a tag? Or must it be queer?

Razorblade Tears was such a good book!
