Does this one work for love/love's

Love's Unfolding Dream

Kathy G. wrote: "Does this one work for love/love's

Love's Unfolding Dream"

Yes, that works for love/love's.

Can I use the same word combo for book two?

Love's Enduring Promise

Kathy G. wrote: "Can I use the same word combo for book two?

Love's Enduring Promise"

Either of the books you've asked about will work for the ONE book option. They both have Love's in the title and Love in the series name, giving you the combination of love/love's. Is that what you're asking?

Oh--- I was confused--
So I only need ONE book.

Thanks!

If you're doing option B then, yes, it's a one book option.

Thank you

Would Wicked Lovely work? The series name is Wicked Lovely?

I am going to read Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein.

I found one on my TBR for the one-book option:
Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer

would this one work -->The Witching Hour
(witching/witches)?

Leslie wrote: "Would Wicked Lovely work? The series name is Wicked Lovely?"

No, sorry, one word needs to be found within another word (even if one of the words is just the plural or possessive of the first word). They cannot be the same word

Delmy =^.^= wrote: "would this one work -->The Witching Hour
(witching/witches)?"

No, sorry, one word must be found intact within the other word. You'd need a book with the word witch in it to match with witches or witching.

That works!

So for option B

Cat Tricks A Magical Cats Mystery series

Deborah wrote: "So for option B

Cat Tricks A Magical Cats Mystery series"

There is no mention of the series name - "A Magical Cats Mystery" - on the Goodreads record. Without it, this book will not work for option B.

Not even a picture when you click on that link. Sorry:)

Try this one

Cat Trick

How about The Leopard Prince (Princes trilogy #2)?

Would Dire Threads work?

Threads - Threadville

I decided that this request would not work as "threads" is not found in "threadville".

How about this one instead: Reap What You Sew?

Sew - Sewing

Deborah wrote: "Not even a picture when you click on that link. Sorry:)

Cat Trick"

That works!

Elizabeth wrote: "How about The Leopard Prince (Princes trilogy #2)?"

Prince/princes works.

Bea wrote: "How about this one instead: Reap What You Sew? Sew - Sewing"

Sew/sewing works. And, you're right, the first one wouldn't have worked.

Does the combo the/other work?

For the one book option, would Murphy's Law work? Series name (per goodreads) is Molly Murphy Mysteries.

Thanks!

Thanks Much!

Kate S wrote: "Does the combo the/other work?"

Yes, that works.

Michelle wrote: "For the one book option, would Murphy's Law work? Series name (per goodreads) is Molly Murphy Mysteries."

Yes, that works.

How about The Things They Carried with the/they? Thanks.

Emily wrote: "How about The Things They Carried with the/they? Thanks."

Yep, that works.

Does this work? Reason to Breathe The Breathing Series. Breathe/Breathing as the combo for option B.

Angela wrote: "Does this work? Reason to Breathe The Breathing Series. Breathe/Breathing as the combo for option B."

Sorry, no, one word must be found intact within the other word. Since the "e" in breathe has been dropped in breathing, this combo will not work.

Thank you for your quick responses Kristi. I will go back to searching for this one.

How about here and there: Can't Get There from Here or There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in the Other America

Amy wrote: "How about here and there: Can't Get There from Here or There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in the Other America"

Yes, the combination there/here works.

What about 'the' and 'other' as in The Lottery and Other Stories?

Coralie wrote: "What about 'the' and 'other' as in The Lottery and Other Stories?"

Yes, the/other works.

Hi Kristi.

I wonder if Catch as Cat Can works for Option B? (cat/catch)

If not I will re-read Men Without Women (men/women)

Anne (Booklady) wrote: "Hi Kristi.

Yes, Catch as Cat Can works for option B. Men Without Women does, too. Your pick!

Would Knit Two work for the 1 book task (knit/knitting)?

Sandra wrote: "Would Knit Two work for the 1 book task (knit/knitting)?"

Yes, that works for option B.

Hi there! would these two work for "For":

Help for the Haunted

and

The Last Days of California

Bekka wrote: "Hi there! would these two work for "For":

Yes, "for" can be found intact within "California".

Thank you!

This is a TOUGH challenge! I think I found two books that will work for option A. Fangirl and The Coldest Girl in Coldtown. Girl is found completely in the word, fangirl.

Would this book work for one book option -
The Chocolate Thief and the series is "Amour et Chocolat"?

Skandia wrote: "Would this book work for one book option -

Yes, chocolat is found intact in chocolate so it works.

For one book option:

The Magpie Lord series title is A Charm of Magpies

Thanks
