Approved for length

I'm going to say this approved; you've been waiting patiently...
There's a lot of room between rowboat/sailboat and ocean liner/ferry, in my opinion. I call yours ok.

Thanks, that's why I asked. I can see it both ways, so wanted an interpretation.

Thanks!

Susan A wrote: "Do books with multiple authors work?"

From the "Default Rules and FAQs", Authors section:
"8. What if a book has multiple authors in a task involving author names, initials, or other characteristics (gender, birthplace, etc.)?
The general default rule is that books by a single author must be used. This can be varied by the task creator until task becomes final. A single author is an individual Goodreads record of an author. This name may represent a single writer or a pseudonym for a team of writing partners, if the name listed on Goodreads is an individual name. If two names are listed, but one is a pseudonym for the other, this is still a single author.

So, it appears using a title with multiple authors would work, but using an author name would NOT. Please note that the tasks are not final yet, so you might check back after the new challenge is underway.

OK, just verifying. I saw her as running frantically away, trying to avoid things. So you are saying "no", it doesn't work, correct?

JennRenee wrote: "Marie (UK) wrote: "The word coast is in the list I have found this book but am concerned that it may not be allowed as the title is hyphenated in the book The Coast-to-Coast Murders..."

Actually, the task rules for Book one say: "The hyphenated words may be treated as separate words. "
So COAST works. Sorry for the confusion.
