� The letters must be recorded in order, but can be read anyhow.
� Articles 'The', 'An' and 'A' may be ignored.

I'm making team threads right now, and will release the entire list of teams in a few minutes :) They haven't started yet, so don't worry.

Yes, Thanks so much Hallie. This looks like so much fun!

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments The letters must be read in order.

What does this mean?

Oh I forgot to include an example for this.

For instance, if the word is 'Justice', you should spell it out in order. So here, first a book starting with J, then U, then S and so on. You can't read J then I, S, U.

Hope this makes sense!

Oh, alright, but we can read the book in any order, right? And you just meant that we should record the books in the proper order?

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Yes, exactly! Sorry I wasn't clear.


message 11: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Thanks :) Sorry, I thought something else before :)


message 12: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
No, it's fine :) I believe I was the one at fault because I didn't know how exactly to explain it.


message 13: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Thanks for clearing, anyway :)


message 14: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Hallie, just to confirm: We can use The title's first letter or the author's first name's first letter, right?


message 15: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Yes :)


message 16: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Thank you :)

(Sorry I keep bombarding you with questions!)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Anytime :) And I don't mind at all.


message 18: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments That's a good thing for me, lol.


message 19: by Raven Nivhaar (last edited Feb 21, 2019 11:00AM) (new)

Raven Nivhaar | 239 comments I was wondering... if we use an author's initial as our letter, do we have to continue using author's initials? Or can we go back and forth between using the first letter of the book to the first letter of the authors name?


message 20: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Feel free to go back and forth using book titles and author's name.


message 21: by Shan ~A~ (new)

Shan ~A~ (thebookglutton) | 61 comments Are we allowed to ignore articles?


message 22: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Yes :) Sorry I forgot to mention that in the rules.


message 23: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments What articles?


message 24: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
The, a, an.


message 25: by Aqsa (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 570 comments Oh, haha. Alright :) This is helpful.
