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).
Mod
❀Must be 150+ pages.
❀May be read in any format (print, ebook, audio, etc.).

❀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.
Hey all! Happy to be on your team & can't wait for the game to start Monday! Any ideas for a team name?
Hey! I'm excited too! I have no ideas for a name-I'm pretty bad at the type of stuff!
No ideas for a team name either. Excited also.
How about One-derful Readers? (kinda cheesy but it's all I could think of haha) I can be captain too if you guys want...
The letter and category for July 21st are C and 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).

I have a review book that has a main male character with the last name of Cooper, though I may look and see if any of my other books have one that would be worth more points!
I am going to read "single dad cowboy" by Brenda Minton , the main character is Dylan Cooper. Will post the link later. Was hoping to find one with first and last name with a "C" but have not found one yet.

by Judy BaerMain Female Character: Samantha Smith
Rating: 3 stars
Review:
I read a book by this author many years ago but didn't really remember much about it so I wasn't sure what to expect going in to this one! Thankfully it was an enjoyable, light, and fun read.
The characters were entertaining with all of their little quirks. Samantha with her penchant for organizing and her pets amusing traits. Jared with his more severe side that applied to pretty much everyone except for his sister who had a very special place in his heart. And Molly with her big heart, spunky personality, and lack of organization. Those three plus some friends made for a diverse cast of characters which made for a fun story. The romance went a little too “zero-to-sixty” for my taste but it wasn't too unbelievable so I'll let it slide.
Nice job guys!! Another bonus point!
I'm reading
by Gillian Flynn for this next category!

Nice job Janice! I haven't gotten very far in mine due to busyness but I am loving it!
I finished
by Laura Frantz! 5 Star book!
My Review:
I always seem to forget just how amazing Laura Frantz's writing is until I pick up one of her books. This one was no different and I was swept away from beginning to end!
I loved both Ellie and Jack's characters. Ellie was sweet and a little naïve but she didn't hesitate to jump in and do whatever needed doing. It was cool to watch Jack's character grow from the typical reckless and brash Turlock to a responsible man not afraid to stand up for what was right.
Chloe was such a fun girl and her scheming to get Jack and Ellie together was rather amusing. I loved how much she matured under Ellie's tutelage.
It was also great to see how Silas and Eden's relationship had weathered the years and Ellie's siblings were an interesting group.
This book made me laugh and cry and I loved every minute! I cannot wait to read book three now!
Done with my next book, finally! :-p Category: Author & "F"
