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

Hi Team! I can't be captain, since the main point of it is to double check the points for our team against the spreadsheet, so hopefully one of you will be okay with doing it. :)

As for a team name, do we want to use 3 somehow in it (since that's the number team we are)? Or use the color green, since that's the color for our team on the spreadsheet? Or do something completely different?

[Danielle]

Hey guys! I'm so excited to start this tomorrow! I'm cool with whatever name... something with 3 in it sounds good! :)

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Okay, how about:

Team Trifecta, The Power of Three, THREEmendous Trio, or The Three Bibliophiles.

[Danielle]

I like the Power of Three! :-p

[Caroline|Page~Turners]

I like Power of Three also. I vote Dizzy as the team captain. :-)

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

We have a name - YAY!


The letter and category for May 5th were called and they are S and 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)]

[Danielle]

Haha ok so apparently I've been elected captain. :-p For S and main female character I'm gonna read

Yeah, it can be anywhere on the cover. It can also be in the title and doesn't have to be used as a color when it's in the title. It doesn't have to be navy, that's just the color I chose. Here's a site that lists a bunch of colors beginning with N: http://colorful.wikia.com/wiki/List_o...

I'm not sure about the letters being navy, it could just be my screen is off or the picture for the cover isn't the best quality, but parts of the background does look Navajo White so it works.

I hadn't heard of this book before, but it sounds like one I'd love and so I've added it to my tbr list. :)
