For Book 1, is it acceptable for the ordinal number to be represented by a Roman numeral, such as in The Life of Elizabeth I? Thanks!
Mod
OK, that makes sense.
Are dates okay? Either with or without letters. For example: D-Day, June 6, 1944: The Battle for the Normandy Beaches, or Overlord 6th June 1944-Freedom
Mod
Numbers are fine with the -st, -th
Overlord 6th June 1944-Freedom works

Thanks.
I was looking to use Impossible (The Original Trilogy) for my second book, as the metadata says book one of the series. However, it looks to be a compilation of the first three novellas instead of a true first book. Do I need to read all three or just the first novella?
Mod
If Impossible (The Original Trilogy) is #1 you would need to read it completely, all three.
I thought so, just needed to make sure. Thanks!
Mod
No, it needs to be an ordinal and it needs to be in the title. Subtitles are excluded.

Thanks for clarifying!
Can it be the same book? I have this next to read in a series...The Dirt on Ninth Grave (Charley Davidson, #9)
Mod
The Dirt on Ninth Grave (Charley Davidson, #9)
"It is a two book task.
You could read that book for book 1 or book 2 and you would need another book to fulfill the other

Read one Book one and one Book two:
Book 1. Read a book that contains an ordinal number* in its TITLE. Subtitles are excluded. *An Ordinal Number is a number that tells the spatial position of something in a list, such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd. The number may be spelled out- first, second, third, etc. or Roman numerals- III, XI, IV, etc. if they are used as ordinals in context. The ordinal must represent a numbered position and NOT a position in a list like “last” or “next" or a Latinate ordinal like "primary". Plurals, possessives or other forms do NOT work.
Book 2. Read a book in a series that is the SAME NUMBER in series as the ordinal number from Book 1. The book must be identified as a series (title, #) in the series metadata on GR.
ex. Book 1: The 25th Hour 25th
Book 2: The Truth (Discworld #25)
Book 1: First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers First
Book 2: A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses #1)
