November Specials
November has several CELEBRATIONS for many different cultures. In the US there is Thanksgiving where the celebration revolves around FOOD. One of the symbols of Thanksgiving is the Cornucopia (horn of plenty). In my neck of the woods people celebrate the opening of the ski slopes, and most Northern locals start to get some snow thus beginning WINTER SPORTS AND ACTIVTIES. All Saints day is also celebrated in November with lots of SPIRITUAL REFERENCES. In Mexico they celebrate Day of the Dead, where a common practice is to decorate graves of loved ones with ORANGE Mexican marigolds.
Remember to think outside the box and have fun!

The general rules of Scattergories are you are given a list of categories and a time limit. Then the letter dice is rolled and you have to come up with something that matches your letter and the category.
This “Challenge” works in conjunction with the other challenges you may participate in this month. You may use a book to fulfill multiple items (you don't have to read 12 books this month...don't worry!) While you are fulfilling the requirements of your other challenges, be on the lookout for the following items (they may be on the cover or mentioned in the book):
The Challenge: I will post a list of 12 categories, 6 general relating to any book, and 6 specific to that month. On the last day of the month before, I will post the letter of the month. You can start reading on the 1st. The goal is to get as many points as possible by the end of the month.
Duration: November 1st~30th
Rules:
1.Any genre of books will work
2.Ebooks and audio count
3.You can read in any order
4.Rereads are ok but if you really reread the book
Points: You get one point for each category you can tie to a book, where the first letter begins with the letter of the month. You get double points for each time the letter of the month is used to begin a word (ex. for author if the letter was C, Cassandra Claire would be 2 points). We will not be deducting points for duplicate answers like the original game version does.
…..Note….. if you have already earned 1 point for an item and come across another item worth more points you can replace it. Please only list the one book that you are currently using for points.
Special categories are open for interpretation. As long as it is mentioned in the book and you can justify how it fits, it will work.
When you find one of the items list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), date it, and specify where the item is found within the book. (i.e. page number, e-reader location, audio chapter)
Just like the regular game we will not use the letters Q, U, V, X, Y and Z.
Let me know if you have any questions.
