This is a word hunt, each month we get a list of 20 words and have to find them in the book. As I am playing this at RR - level I need to use at least 10 books for this.
RULES:
1. Standard Rawk-A-Tiers book requirements apply.
2. Items must be found in reading, not in title, on cover, caption text or pre/post matter.
3. No limit on number of words found in a book, but to get full point credit, you must use the minimum books required by your BPW level.
CR level = 4 books
RR level = 10 books
PR level = 16 books
4. In your post, list TITLE, PAGE #, and SENTENCE where the item can be found, for ebooks, provide location #.
5. Audiobooks are acceptable provided you can give the information required in #4 above.
SCORING = 10 possible points
4 points ~ if you meet your BPW level requirement
+ # of words x 0.2
+ 2 points ~ if you find all 20 words for the month regardless of # of books you used
NO WORD CARRYOVERS -- When the month is over, the list is over.
