30.11 Andy P's Task: Is There a Pattern Here?

For this task the following rules apply:
1. No book that has Children's or Kid's listed as a main page genre may be used for this task.
2. This is a two book task. One book must fulfill the criteria for Book 1, the other the criteria for Book 2.
3. For the purpose of this task, the letter "Y" will be considered a consonant
4. The total page count for both books must be over 500 pages (i.e. 501 or more)

Book 1. Read a book by a single author in which the letters of the author's first, middle, or last name consists of alternating vowels and consonants. The target word must be of at least five letters or more.

Example: Peter Robinson

Peter: P=Consonant, E=Vowel, T=Consonant, E=Vowel, R=Consonant

Book 2. Read a book in which the title contains a word of 5 or more letters of alternating vowels and consonants. The title must be at least 3 words in length and may contain a subtitle BUT the target word must appear in the title.

Example: Angel with Two Faces

Faces: F= consonant, A=Vowel, C=Consonant, E= Vowel, S= Consonant

For both Book 1 and Book 2 the target word may begin with either a consonant or a vowel

Sorry for late reply. The answer to your question is yes, alternating consonant then vowel etc.

just checking it doesn't matter which way round vowel or consonant can be first letter as long as it alternates?

Yes, that is correct as stated in the final sentence of the task.

No problem My goal for the tasks I create is to make them clear enough that they generate less than one page of questions from my fellow participants. I want people to read books, not spend a lot of time trying to find books that meet the task requirements.

So how's this:

Book 1: Forest Dark using Nicole Krauss first name, Nicole

Book 2: All You Desire using the word desire for target word
