As I understand the rules, when a letter is called, we read a book that fits it. Do we write a review for it like we did with Bingo? I'm just checking....
I'll update your team threads soon, Melanie and Dawn, to include your team names and captains.
Darlene, all the captain has to do is double check the points on the spreadsheet and contact any members who might be falling behind or have checked in for a while.

The title of the book can begin with any letter. The MAIN FEMALE CHARACTER must have at least one of her names (first, middle, and/or last name) begin with S.

also question if the title had S and name has s do we get 2 points

I've updated your team's thread.
Darlene wrote: "also question if the title had S and name has s do we get 2 points"
No. The only way to score extra points would be if the character had more than one name beginning with S. If the author Sarah Sundin wasn't an author but instead the main female character of a book, her name would be worth 2 points. It would even be possible to get three points if a character had three names that started with S - though that would be hard to find! Remember, it doesn't have to be the main female character's first name, it could be her last name that begins with S and it would be worth a point. Hope that explains it better. :)

Each team member can read whatever book they choose. You may all decide to read the same one or different, it's up to each individual. The only requirements are the book must be at least 150 pages and fit the category called. It's possible for a team to earn 10 points total for the current category, if each person on the team read a book with the main female character's names all beginning with S and all books were read and reviewed before the deadline (May 15th at 11:59pm Pacific time).
Each person's book is counted separately, so you may have one person reading a book worth 1 point and another one worth 2 or 3. All points earned get added together and that's the team's score.

Oh, sorry but I'm the only one that can edit it. The captain just had to double check it to make sure it's correct. I'll try to add points as soon as they happen, but they'll definitely be added when the next letter and category is called (I'll always go through and add ones I missed).
I saw that Shae01 said she finished her book, but she didn't leave a review. A review is required. It doesn't have to be long, just a few lines of your thoughts on the book and whether or not you'd recommend it.

You can, but I check the threads usually at least once a day and will definitely check them the day of the deadline.

As long as it's an animal, as the examples you gave, I say yes. :)

Do you mean a book titled "Ape House" (if so I'd need to know the author to verify if it would work), the words ape house (such as this place is as crazy as an ape house), or an actual ape house?
An actual ape house would definitely work since there would be apes in it, so if that's what you mean yes. :)

The new letter and category are A and animal.
So this means you have to read a book that has an animal in it that begins with the letter A. So either the animal's given name (such as Annie) or classification (the type of animal it is, such as alligator) will begin with A.

No. You just need to find a book that has a color that begins with N (like navy or neon green) in the title, author's name, character's name, or the book cover itself. So, if you find a book that has that color on the cover it counts.

Darlene wrote: "if you find more then one color in that book we get more points correct?"
No, only one color counts. I have a feeling this week everyone will only get one point :(
Here's a site that lists a bunch of colors that begin with N: http://colorful.wikia.com/wiki/List_o...

Just enough that it can be clearly seen online.

If you don't mind rereading the first chapter, absolutely you can use it. :)

Navy is a color.... :D I'll keep looking in case the answer is no...
