25.3 - Andy P.’s task: No More Wolves

I noticed as I finished the Winter Challenge that I had read three books that had the word “Wolf” in the title which seemed to me to be excessive so this task was designed to remedy that problem.

First however I want to set the ground rules:

This is a two book task and you should chose one book that satisfies the requirements for Book 1 and another that works for Book 2.

No book that has the genre Childrens or kids on its main page may be used for this task.
A combined page total for both books must exceed 500 pages (at least 501 pages).

Book 1.Read a book whose title does NOT contain any of the letters in the word WOLF. If the book has a subtitle none of the letters in WOLF may appear in the subtitle
HINT: Books with Title: A Novel will not work as OL are in WOLF.

Book 2. Spring is a time of rebirth. Conveniently REWOLF spelled backwards is FLOWER which is a sign of Spring so…
Read a book written by a single author whose initials can be found in the word FLOWER.
All of the author initials count so if an author uses two initials plus a last name all three initials must be found in the word FLOWER . Likewise for authors who use a first name, middle initial, and last name or a name with more than 3 name parts. Letters may only be used as often as they appear. Spaces determine names.

I did not address this issue but I'm going to pretend there is no such thing as a series name for the pupose of this task. Short answer, series name does not count.

How about Catch-22 for option 1?

There is no letter 'o' .... although if you spelled 22, there would be ....

I think the rules are that numbers are numbers unless spelled out so it would work if this is truly the rule, but I'd like a moderator to confirm this before I give the unconditional ok.

We use the title as it appears on GR. Catch-22 does not contain an O.
