Should punctuation marks that do not represent words or parts of words, such as commas and question marks, be ignored? For example, would The Sea, the Sea work for Book 1, or does the comma disqualify it? Thanks!
Mod
Punctuation that is not part of the word- like your example- does not need to be counted, but apostrophes in contractions (I'll, won't, 'til, etc.), hyphens in hyphenated words, and any other punctuation within the word do need to be counted.
Mod
Ostrich and the 'Roo - 4 word title"
Sure, but those may need paperback page numbers added.
Just making sure I am correct...Book Love: Developing Depth, Stamina, and Passion in Adolescent Readers

Yes, that works
I'm taking suggestions if anyone knows of good 9-word titled books! Universal Harvester is the only thing in my TBR with equal letters. :)
(Probably I should look instead for a shorter number of equal letters title, and pick any number of 2-5 word books off my TBR.)

Spaces determine words. 451 = one word.

Just to double check - for book 1, I go by the title of the version that I read, correct? I was planning on reading The Bat, which is the English translation of the title Flaggermusmannen. So as long as I'm reading it in English, I think this book is okay to use, but I wanted to check to make sure.
Mod
You are correct.

Book 1: Read a book with a TITLE of at least 2 words where every word in the title has the same number of letters. Numerals, symbols, punctuation marks within words and other characters count as letters, ex. can't = 5 letters, & = 1 letter. Subtitles should be ignored.
Book 2: Using the letter count of a word from Book 1’s title, read a book with that number of words in the TITLE. All words count including articles. Numerals and symbols such as “&” count as words. Spaces determine words. Subtitles should be ignored.
