Any questions or thoughts about Book Scattergories, please post here.


message 2: by Dawn (new)

Dawn (baseballblondie) | 1166 comments I am the captain of Team 1.


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....


message 3: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
Yes, you would write a review just like you did in Book Cover BINGO. :)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
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.

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments OK I see letter is S and it says female character does that mean title with S and has to have a female character with S in the name

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.

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments thank you

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. :)


message 15: by Darlene (new)

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments yes thank you. so much


message 16: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments I'll be the captain for Team 4. We do not have a name yet.


message 17: by Rina (new)

Rina | 48 comments On the slim chance that there's enough time to find, read and review two books per category - is that allowed?


message 18: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
Only one book per category.


message 19: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Megan, can each person in the group read a different book to get at least three points or do all three have to read the same book?


message 20: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (last edited May 05, 2014 04:30PM) (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
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.


message 21: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Got it. Thank you!


message 22: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments What is the trick for the spreadsheet? I'm used to working with Excel so not familiar with the Google doc. Shae01 and I both tried to enter a "1" under her name for week one and it isn't taking. Thanks for your help.


message 23: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Team 4 is named Bookworms.

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.

Darlene wrote: "do we send you a message when we done with book"

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


message 28: by Dawn (new)

Dawn (baseballblondie) | 1166 comments For animal, does it have to be a real animal (ie horse, cat, dog, etc) or could it by mythical (ie phoenix, pygmy puff, unicorn, etc)? Yes, I've got a specific mythical one in mind.

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

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments does book ape house work


message 31: by Darlene (new)

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments oops I meant ape house


message 32: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
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. :)


message 33: by Darlene (new)

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments it's ape house by Sara gruen


message 34: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
It sounds like it involves, or at least mentions, real apes so yes :)


message 35: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
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.

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments hope all are enjoying scattagories have a great weekend

message 38: by Darlene (new)

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments OK I guess I need a little help in this. we need a book starting with N in the title and or author and a color in the title and the author name also?

Darlene wrote: "OK I guess I need a little help in this. we need a book starting with N in the title and or author and a color in the title and the author name also?"

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.


message 40: by Darlene (new)

Darlene (darlenelozada) | 268 comments if you find more then one color in that book we get more points correct?


message 41: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
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...


message 42: by Dawn (new)

Dawn (baseballblondie) | 1166 comments how much of the cover needs to be the color?


message 43: by Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘ (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6323 comments Mod
Dawn wrote: "how much of the cover needs to be the color?"

Just enough that it can be clearly seen online.
