30.4 - Dlmrose's Task: Backward Day

January 31 is Backward Day.
Book 1: Read a book with a title of at least 2 words. The title words must begin with at least 2 different letters. Spaces determine words. Subtitles should be ignored.

Book 2: Using the book title from Book 1, read a book where the same beginning letters of each word in the reverse order from book 1 are the beginning letters of the words in the title. All words count, including articles. Spaces determine words. Subtitles should be ignored. Symbols (&) must be used as symbols. Leading numbers must be used as numbers (1941 = 1)

Book 1 and Book 2 must have the same number of words in their titles.

Example:
Book 1: Rowing the Atlantic: Lessons Learned on the Open Ocean

Book 2: book 1 letters RTA, backward letters ATR = After the Rain

This thread is now open!

ohhh devious!

the letters don't have to appear at the beginning of the word correct?

so if I were to read Dark Empress (DE)

then Turned Up (ED is Turned) would work?

The letters DO need to begin each word- Dark Empress (DE) needs a Book 2 with a two-word title with beginning letters ED

ok - that's a bit confusing the way its worded then - because it just says contains, not starts with :)

so Edge works or similar?

read a book where the same beginning letters of each word in the reverse order from book 1 are the first letters of each word in the title.

Is that more clear- like in the example in the task
book 1 beginning letters RTA, backward letters ATR = After The Rain

Yup ;) we’re just going to call me an idiot and leave it at that

No name calling! There's a review period for a reason. We all fine tune.

They do.

Would Plaid and Plagiarism& Pride and Prescience: Or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged work?

Yes, the 3 word titles include at least 2 different letters

Thank you.
