Mod
Will it work if the "and" is used in a list? For example, could I use Life, the Universe and Everything and then read a book starting with "Universe" or "Everything"?
Mod
Correct.
Mod
"yes
Does the word for Book 2 have to match exactly, or would plurals or other conjugations work? For example, say I've picked Flesh and Bone as my Book 1. Could I use 206 Bones for Book 2, or would it have to be something like, say, The White Bone to satisfy the task?
Would somethig like this work?Book 1: Jane and the Prisoner of Wool House
Book 2: Jane and the Ghosts of Netley
I had Snow and Ice and Snow Falling on Cedars, but I wasn't really excited about Snow and Ice.So, I think I will change to Dipped, Stripped, and Dead with Dead Silence with book #2.
Mod
For example, say I've picked Flesh and Bone as my Book 1. Could I use 206 Bones book 2 title must begin with "Flesh" or "Bone" nothing else
ETA
No, the task says "Words must match exactly."
Your book 2 title would need to begin with Flesh or Bone.
Mod
Book 1: Jane and the Prisoner of Wool House
Book 2: Jane and the Ghosts of Netley"
Yes
I think these work, but, just want to confirm!The Rescue Artist: A True Story of Art, Thieves, and the Hunt for a Missing Masterpiece

It looks like DLMRose's answer got italicized by mistake! I think she was saying "book 2 title must begin with "Flesh" or "Bone" nothing else "

That works
I'm checking to make sure I've done this correctly.If I read Lost & Found for book 1
then I can read Lost for Book 2?
Mod
If I read Lost & Found for book 1
then I can read Lost for Book 2?"
Yes, that works.
Mod
Life, the Universe and Everything
Everything Is Illuminated"
They do.
Would this work?Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
and
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Since Harry Potter would be the thing connected in both?
Mod
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
and
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Since Harry Potter would be the thing connected in both?"
Sorry, no, if using Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone book B's title must begin with "Potter" or "The Sorcerer's".
Does this work?Book 1: The Librarians and the Lost Lamp
Book 2: The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu: And Their Race to Save the World’s Most Precious Manuscripts?
Mod

If you use The Librarians and the Lost Lamp book 2's title must begin with the word "Librarians" or "The Lost"
