We have our new category!Round 3 | February 17-March 2
Letter: A
Category: Title
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 in the title begin with the chosen letter, it will be worth more points (1 point for each valid word beginning with the letter).
We will be going off of the title listed on Goodreads and can include the subtitle since that is seen as the full title. If the book's series is included in parenthesis, that won't count since it isn't the title.
For example:
The Truth War: Fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception - 1 point for the word Age
Anxious for Nothing: God's Cure for the Cares of Your Soul - 1 point for Anxious
At Love's Command - 1 point for At
***We are going off of Goodreads' Title for this challenge. Please link to the book on Goodreads to verify the title. :)

As much as I would love to read a six-pointer, I think realistically I can manage this four-pointer:Age Is Just a Number: Achieve Your Dreams at Any Stage in Your Life by Dara Torres
Awesome! I’ll get that added to the tracker when I get on my computer.
I think I will read this book
, An Amish Cradle: In His Father's Arms, a Son for Always, a Heart Full of Love, an Unexpected Blessing which should count for 3 points (Amish, Arms, Always). It has been on my TBR shelf for a long time.
Awesome, Brittany! I'll get that 3-pointer added to our tracker.
And yay! for checking off a long-time TBR book. :)
I just downloaded an audio copy from my library of this four-pointer, as a backup:An Amish Miracle: Always Beautiful, Always His Providence, Always in My Heart
I'm still reading the Dara Torres book first, as I'm in the mood for an athlete's memoir right now.
I am thinking about reading "Ask Again, yes" but still looking for a three pointer at least.
I have found another book on my kindle that will bring more points, so I am going to read it instead. It is The Amish Seasons Collection: Contains An Amish Spring, An Amish Summer, An Amish Autumn, and An Amish Winter. Should be 6 pts. I can't pass that up.
I found a three-pointer I am actually interested in reading: "All the Feels: Discover Why Emotions Are (Mostly) Awesome and How to Untangle Them When Theyre Not"
My editing job is due Saturday, so I should have more reading time very soon. The books I’m working on are audios, so they should go pretty fast once I have more time for them.
Checking in to see how everyone is doing on their books and to see if some backup books are needed.
I should have my 4-pointer book plus a 4-pointer as a backup done by Wednesday. I turned in my edit job yesterday, so now I have more reading time. Thanks for checking in, Brittany! It's been a crazy couple of weeks.
I finished reading this book worth 2 points and will post it.
I'm halway through mine. Should manage to finish it in time!
I read An Amish Cradle: In His Father's Arms, a Son for Always, a Heart Full of Love, an Unexpected Blessing as a backup for 3 pts if needed. I posted it over on the chat group and can take it off if we don't need it.
Great job, Brittany!I posted a 4-point back-up in the bottom of my previous main-book post so that it would get counted before the 3-point back-up so that we'll get that extra point. Like you, I can easily remove my back-up if we end up not needing it.
Right now, we have three main books and two back-up books posted.
We still need main books from Kellyn, Hannah, Vinnie, and Mary OR two more back-up books. I'll find another audiobook worth at least two points and cruise through it tonight and/or tomorrow.
I found an audio of Irene Hannon's Against All Odds, so I'll read that one tomorrow, for another back-up.
I should have my 4-pointer of Anne of Green Gables + Anne of Avonlea + Anne of the Island: The 3 First Anne Shirley Classics Unabridged done in the next day.
I'm pretty sure it's five points, as the subtitles in title spaces on Goodreads were already approved by Melanie. Great find!
I've updated the tracker with what I know.
Due to a busy couple of weeks, Kellyn hasn't been able to squeeze in a book. We already have a book posted that will work in her stead.How's everyone else looking on getting those books posted?
I had a busy day today, so I'll get my second and third back-up books finished tomorrow. I found some kid collections that count as four-pointers and are super quick listens (192 pages each, so they qualify).
Glad to hear it, Vinnie! Thanks for the update. I hope it’s a good book.
I just finished a book that can count for 1 point if you need it as a backup. Let me know and I will post it if you want me to.
Brittany, hold off. I found two shorties (192 pages) that will count for 4 points each. Thank you for helping out, though! Loving the teamwork.
Posted my second back-up book worth four points.
Got the other 4-point back-up book done and posted. Back-ups will be removed as main-books are posted today.
Still about 3.5 hours for posting books. We only need main-books from Mary and Hannah at this point.
Next round has been posted!Round 4 | March 3-16
Letter: W
Category: 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).
IF a book has more than one author, you can count all their names that begin with W.
(for example only, let's say the letter would have been "M" then With This Ring?: A Novella Collection of Proposals Gone Awry would have been worth 2 points for Mary Connealy and Melissa Jagears)
Author names MUST be the names found on the book cover/Goodreads. It doesn't matter if someone's middle name is the same letter, if they don't use it professionally.
***We are going off of Goodreads for this challenge. Please link to the book on Goodreads to verify the author(s). :)
