Hooked on Books discussion

Welcome to our Fall seasonal read-a-thon. This read-a-thon runs from September 22nd to December 20th, 2018.

For every book that you read with a title starting with one of the letters in the bonus word give yourself 1 point, if any section (first, middle, last) of the author's name starts with a letter in the bonus word give yourself 2 points. The most you can have for any one book is 3 bonus points, 1 for title and 2 for author.

For example (if WINTER were our bonus word):

Nothing Lasts Forever by Sidney Sheldon = 1 point for title
OR
Fire in the Blood by Dale Ibitz = 2 bonus points for author last name
OR
Winter Swans by Danica Winters = 1 point for title, 2 points for author = 3 bonus points

Be sure to tally your pages and bonus points separately. The top 3 people with the most bonus points at the end of the challenge will get to choose a bonus word for the next quarter. NOTE: Bonus point winners cannot win in two read-a-thon's in a row, to give more people the chance to choose bonus words.

To sign up simply start yourself a post to track what you've read during the read-a-thon. Edit your post throughout the read-a-thon to let everyone know which books you've read & your total number of pages.

Here is a a template for your post:

What did you think of The Lies of Locke Lamora? It's on my list and I'm debating pushing it forward on the list.

Leane wrote: "What did you think of The Lies of Locke Lamora? It's on my list and I'm debating pushing it forward on the list.."

I gave it 3 stars. It was an entertaining story. I've had it on my TBR for ages, and finally picked it up for last month's challenge. I found the antics of the 'Gentlemen Bastards' amusing and was kept engaged well enough to finish the book quickly. I also liked the time shifting and how we learn about Locke from things in the past and from his actions in the present.

When you say a book with a title starting with one of the letters included in the bonus word, does that include articles? One of the books i read was called "An Overdose Of Death". Would I say it starts with A, or with O?
