To play Book Dominos, your answer (a book title) must generate two numbers between 1 and 12. One number must match the previous book. The second number you will leave for the next participant.

Ways to get a number from a book:
- Actual number in the title (I Am Number Four)
- How many pages it has (use the last number in the page count)
- Trilogy or series number (All the Little Liars, Aurora Teagarden #9)
- Found on the cover (Roman numerals are ok)
- Number of words in the title (Dash & Lily's Book of Dares, 6)
- Year the book was first published (use the last one or two numbers, 1995 or 2012)
- For anthologies or such, how many stories are in the book, (On the Prowl, 4 stories)
- The year it received an award (The View from Saturday, Newbery Award 1997)

Example:
the number the previous player left was 8
I say Iron Kissed (published in 2008)
the number to match is 3, because Iron Kissed is the 3rd in a series

Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 3287 comments I'll give this a try:

The book I'm currently reading is City of Lost Souls, which has 4 words in the title, and 535 pages.

So my numbers are 4 and 5.
