So check in with your team, decide who's going to be captain (the captain duties require double checking the spreadsheet to make sure the points are correct and reminding any teammates who might be falling behind about the challenge), and to decide on a team name, if you choose to have one.

Every other week, alternating between Monday and Thursday, a category and letter will be randomly selected.
This would give 10 days for one category and 11 for the next. After a category is called, I will also list the date the next one is scheduled to be called.
Letters
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, and W
Categories
1. Author
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.
2. Cover
Find an item on a cover that begins with the chosen letter. Only one item may be used, even if there is more than one that would work. If the item is something that is called with two or more words beginning with the chosen letter you would earn extra points.
3. Main Female Character
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).
4. Main Male Character
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).
5. Title
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).
How to Play
Players will have to find a book that works for the chosen letter and category.
If all players on a team finish their books before the deadline (11:59 pm Pacific Time on the day the next category is called), the team will earn 1 bonus point. If at least half of the team has finished their books, the team will earn 1/2 bonus point. To receive bonus points for the final category, the team's books must be finished by October 13, 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
Not all letters will be used, but once a letter is chosen, it will be removed from the list and will not be used again.
The categories will be used more than once, but if the same one is selected three times it will then be removed from the list of available categories.
The game will conclude after eight categories have been called. The team with the most points wins! If at the end there is a tie, the team that finished their books first will be declared the winner!
Book Requirements:
❀Must be 150+ pages.
❀May be read in any format (print, ebook, audio, etc.).
❀All genres are allowed.
❀You may reread a book for the challenge, it's not preferred but it is allowed. The book must be read in it's entirety, not just skimmed. You may not however reread a book that you used already for this challenge.
❀All books used for the challenge MUST be started AFTER the category is called. If you realize a book you've already started before the category would be a perfect fit for the challenge, you may restart it and then it will count - but only if you restart it.
Signups will close on July 17th. Teams will be created shortly thereafter and the first category will be called on July 21st.
