Categories
Detailed information for each category can be found under the spoiler next to the category.


1. Title (view spoiler)[

As shown in the example above, the title category must have a word beginning with the chosen letter ANYWHERE in the title. The words "A", "AN", "AND", or "THE" do NOT count towards points.

If more than one of the words begin with the chosen letter, it will be worth more points (1 point for each word beginning with the letter).

(hide spoiler)]
2. Main Female Character (view spoiler)[

The heroine of the story. The name found on the back cover (synopsis). If the story happens to be about two or more women, and they get equal time in the story, then any of the names would work - but only one character's name.

If more than one of the her names (first, middle, and/or last) begin with the chosen letter, it will be worth more points (1 point for each name beginning with the letter).

(hide spoiler)]
3. Main Male Character (view spoiler)[

The hero of the story. The name found on the back cover (synopsis). If the story happens to be about two or more men, and they get equal time in the story, then any of the names would work - but only one character's name.

If more than one of his names (first, middle, and/or last) begin with the chosen letter, it will be worth more points (1 point for each name beginning with the letter).

(hide spoiler)]
4. Secondary Female character (view spoiler)[

This would be any female character who is not one of the leads in the story. She might be mentioned only once in the story, but that would still count.

If more than one of the her names (first, middle, and/or last) begin with the chosen letter, it will be worth more points (1 point for each name beginning with the letter).

(hide spoiler)]
5. Secondary Male Character (view spoiler)[

This would be any male character who is not one of the leads in the story. He might be mentioned only once in the story, but that would still count.

If more than one of his names (first, middle, and/or last) begin with the chosen letter, it will be worth more points (1 point for each name beginning with the letter).

(hide spoiler)]
6. Author (view spoiler)[

The author's name must begin with the chosen letter. The author's first, middle, or last name may be used. If the author has more than one name beginning with the chosen letter, it will be worth more points (1 point for each name beginning with the letter).

Author names MUST be the names found on the book. It doesn't matter if someone's middle name is the same letter, if they don't use it professionally.

(hide spoiler)]
7. Location (view spoiler)[

The geographical place where the story is set. If the story takes place in more than one location, any could be used.

(hide spoiler)]
8. Animal (view spoiler)[

Any pet or animal in the story - either their given name or animal classification.

Example:
The letter called for this is Z (again not one that will actually be used), you could read:

A book that has an animal named Zoe (PET'S GIVEN NAME)
A book with a zebra in it (ANIMAL CLASSIFICATION)


If by chance there's a book with a zebra called Zoe, it would still only be worth one point unless the animal was called Zoe the Zebra in the story at least once.


(hide spoiler)]
9. Main Character's Occupation (view spoiler)[

One of the main character's occupation.

(hide spoiler)]
10. Color (view spoiler)[

This can be found in the title, author's name, character's name, or the book cover itself.

(hide spoiler)]
11. Adjectives (view spoiler)[

Definition of ADJECTIVE:

"a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it."

All words beginning with the chosen letter and that describe the same thing in the title will be counted.

Example:

Say Q is the letter chosen, you could read "The Quick and Quirky Quilt" and it would be worth 2 points - one for "quick" and one for "quirky", "quilt" is what is being described so it wouldn't count.

(hide spoiler)]
12. Goodreads Shelf (view spoiler)[

Find a shelf that has the word(s) beginning with the chosen letter somewhere in the title of the shelf. It can be anyone's shelf (EXCEPT your own or your teammates); just be sure to leave a link and, if there's more than one page to the shelf, the page number.

(hide spoiler)]

The letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, and W

If two members of a team posts their review before the deadline (11:59pm pacific time May 15 for this letter and category), the team will receive a half point. If all members of a team posts their reviews before the deadline, the team will receive another half point which will equal a full bonus point.

[Beverly]

Thank you sooo much!!!
