Scrabble, RwS Version

This Fall, we are going to play RwS Scrabble.

Find the available "tiles" here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

For tiles that link to a genre page or a listopia list (e.g., A1), you are limited to the first 200 books on the list (i.e., the first 4 pages on a genre page and the first 2 pages on a listopia list).

Each tile may only be used once. You may complete the challenge multiple times, but you may not reuse tiles.

TASKS:
Each task is a "tile" from the spreadsheet.
15.1 - A1 - Book 1
15.2 - N2 - Book 2
15.3 - D4 - Book 3
etc.
Each posted task scores 15 points.

In other words, for each book, you will choose one task. For example, if I choose task A1, I will read a book that has been shelved with the Genre Art (and is found on the first 4 pages of the genre list) or I will read a book from the top 200 of the Art & Artists in Fiction listopia. I will post the book and receive 15 points. I'll also have the letter "A" to use for words as described below.

WORDS:
Words are created by combining tiles (i.e., multiple books/tasks) to form words found in the official scrabble dictionary (https://scrabble.merriam.com/word-lists)

Your words must be a minimum of two tiles (as there are no single-lettered words in Scrabble). You can make as many or as few words as you like to fill your ten total tasks, but there can be no leftover tiles (For example: you could create five two-tile words; you could create a five-tile word, a three-tile word, and a two-tile word; what you could not do is create a four-tile word, three-tile word, two-tile word, and have a leftover single tile.)

FINISHER BONUS:
If you read 10 books and used all of your tiles to complete words, you are eligible for the following finisher bonuses:

Total word score 15 or less = +50 points
Total word score 16-30 = +100 points
Total word score 31+ = +150 points

Word scores are determined by adding up the points on each tile. So if you posted the A1, N2, D4 shown above, you could spell AND for 4 points. You would add up AND plus the words made from your other 7 tiles to get your Total word score.

Books do not need to be read in order. You may post your completed words when you post 15.10.
