Love this! I have never done one of these before but have wanted to for a bit. I’m in a bit of a reading slump and I think this is just the thing to get me out. I’ll start planning my list!
Are numbers also ok for measurements?
Mod
Sorry, no. Number in the title is a completely different challenge. 😉
Sorry, I was misled by some books added to other people's topics. I would have just looked at the units of measurement for this task, but I saw titles with words like "stones", "pieces", etc. which for me have nothing to do with measurements. Or maybe it's my fault, that I am completely ignorant about the measurement system used in US.
Mod
A stone or stone unit of weight, the stone symbol is st. It is an English and imperial unit of mass that is equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kg.
As for “pieces,” my mind immediately went to the expression “pieces of eight—”
The Spanish dollar coin was worth eight reales and could be physically cut into eight pieces, or "bits," to make change -- hence the colloquial name "pieces of eight." The dollar coin could also be cut into quarters, and "two bits" became American slang for a quarter dollar, or 25 cents.
Patrizia wrote: "Sorry, I was misled by some books added to other people's topics. I would have just looked at the units of measurement for this task, but I saw titles with words like "stones", "pieces", etc. which..."I thought this prompt was hard and I probably added to your confusion. I had no obvious measurements in any of my books titles and when I saw "stone", I thought it was used as a weight measurement and double checked on my dictionary app. Not sure if it's still really used but did come up as weight measurement mainly used in Britain.
I'll leave that task for last and do some online research on measurement systems that aren't the metric decimal ones I'm used to.
Patrizia, look to see if you have cup, pint, quart or gallon in any of your book titles. These are measurements for ice cream, milk and other liquids, or in baking (specially cup). I'm using Pint of No Return for this one.

I've already read all my books with "cup" and "pint", but I found a couple with "stone", so now that I know it's also a unit of measurement, I'd say I'm good to go.
