Glad you were successful, Heather!
Hint, if you'd like one, I searched "books" and "room" (separately) on my library's site and found many options that worked. Happy anagramming!
Book 1: None of the AboveBE AsHamEd TO diE uNtil yOu haVE wON some victory For humanity
Book 2: Rumble
a hoUsE without Books is Like a RooM without windows
Just checking to make sure I didn't miss any letters lol
Can punctuation be disregarded? I'm wondering if I can use Mort e for Book 2.ETA: The book link for this title is showing up weirdly. If you click on it, you'll see the title is actually "Mort[e]".

Christine- Just pretend the punctuation doesn't exist.
You're all set, have fun!

Megan- Funny. :) I double checked the ones I listed yesterday because we keep trying to read the words rather than check off the letters (I blame Sister Mary Vita).
You're good to go!

LOL! I actually wrote them out on paper and crossed off letters as I went, which helped tremendously. If you do that, though, I'd take a transparency sheet or something and use a dry erase marker so you didn't have to keep rewriting the quote (that was a pain as I was looking for books...).
Thank you!
? Would Trace - CSI Reilly Steel #5 work for book 1? Not sure how the sub title fits in here. The title is actually trace.
Sheila wrote: "? Would Trace - CSI Reilly Steel #5 work for book 1? Not sure how the sub title fits in here. The title is actually trace."Sheila- I looked at the other books in the series and the "CSI Reilly Steel" is in parenthesis for most of them. So I it makes sense to me for you to ignore the "CSI Reilly Steel #5" in this listing. Please be sure to cite this message if the goodreads book page hasn't change when you post.
OK, thanks Jonquil. Nice task by the way.
These are my first two options, assuming that it doesn't matter that there's an apostrophe in the second one?bE asHAMED To die until you have won some viCToRy for humAniTy.

These look fine, Trish, I hope you enjoy them.
Will this work for book 1? A Trail Through Timebe Ashamed To die unTiL you HAve won soME vIctoRy foR hUmanITy
So close, Puppitypup, and it looks like a fun book. Unfortunately the title has a "g" that the quote doesn't. Sorry.
Oh, bummer, you're right. Oh well! Thanks Jonquil :)

All will work, Puppitypup. I've heard rumors that The Heist will also work for a picky, picky reader. :)

Claire- You're set for some great fall reading; enjoy!
If the title has punctuation marks, can we just ignore the punctuation mark? For example, Maud's Line. Thanks!
Deedee wrote: "If the title has punctuation marks, can we just ignore the punctuation mark? For example, Maud's Line. Thanks!"Yes, you may ignore all punctuation, Deedee. Sorry I didn't see this sooner!

As an academic, I equate fall with fresh new starts and a chance to explore new ideas. Horace Mann (1796-1859) was the founder of my alma mater, Antioch College, and an American education reformer. Mann is responsible for two quotes I annually share with my students. The first quote is from a commencement address he delivered to Antioch graduates: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” The second reflects his passion for educating every child: “A house without books is like a room without windows.”
This is a TWO book task.
Book 1: The entirety of your first book’s title must appear in the first quote. The order of the letters does not matter. Subtitles should be ignored. Letters may be used only as often as they appear in the quote.
Book 1: BE ASHAMED TO DIE UNTIL YOU HAVE WON SOME VICTORY FOR HUMANITY
Book 2: The entirety of your second book’s title must appear in the second quote. The order of the letters does not matter. Subtitles should be ignored. Letters may be used only as often as they appear in the quote.
Book 2: A HOUSE WITHOUT BOOKS IS LIKE A ROOM WITHOUT WINDOWS
REQUIRED: For both books, point out where the letters of your books' titles are located in the quotations.
Example: Book 1 The Strain
BE ASHAMED TO DIE UNTIL YOU HAVE WON SOME VICTORY FOR HUMANITY
T in until, HE in ashamed S in some, TR in victory, AIN in humanity
