Upper Section:

When scoring add only the dice picked. So I use my 5's but I only got 3, after I read the five word titled book, I will give myself 15 points.

TOTAL SCORE:
BONUS: ADD 35 points if score is over 63 points
TOTAL:

LOWER SECTION:
3 OF A KIND(add total of all dice):Read three books by any author but must have the same letter in the beginning of their last name (for example if I choose A: Megan Abbott, Cecelia Aheren, or Dorothy Allison or can read all books by same author)
4 OF A KIND(add total of all dice):same rules as 3 of a kind but with four books
FULL HOUSE(25 points):Read two books by GR authors and three books by new authors/or their first book written (you can also flip this:two books by new authors and three by GR authors)
SM. STRAIGHT(30 points):Using your tbr,read 3 books in a row adjusting either the author, title, date added or rating (your choice)
LG. STRAIGHT(40 points):Same as SM STRAIGHT only read 4 books
YAHTZEE(score 50 points):Read ANY 5 books of your choice
CHANCE:Read a book with the word "chance" in it or two books with an author with a starting letter in their last name using the word CHANCE

TOTAL FOR UPPER SECTION:
TOTAL FOR LOWER SECTION:
GRAND TOTAL:

Just like with the real YAHTZEE you get three rolls, but you will have to remember which dice you are keeping and change the number of dice accordingly.
So:
1st roll, roll 5 dice:1 - 6 - 4 - 2 - 3
I am keeping all but the 6, so I will change the number of dice to 1
2cd roll: I got a 2 so now i have 1 - 4 - 2 - 3 - 2
I am going to roll again to see if I can get a 5 for a LG straight
Roll 3: got another 2, so final dice roll is 1 -4 -2 -3 -2
I am going to use my SM STRAIGHT for this roll or I could use my 2's
