Any good ideas for this challenge? The only one I thought of is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society but I recently read that and I don't really feel like reading it again so soon.

Preston and Childs have some great thrillers.
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David LeviathanJahnna N. Malcolm is really a husband and wife team. Not sure if books by them would count.

Just a clarification for this topic -- It's for task 5.8) Let's Find Out If Two Heads Really Better Than One - Read A Book That Has More Than One Author. This is not for Donna Jo's Task, choose 2 authors that are RELATED?
Correct?
Some others - My Life In France by Julia Child and Alex Prud'Homme

Many non-fiction books, especially biographies of famous poeople that are not authors by trade, are written with someone (who actually knows how to write) or have more than one author. Just a thought for anyone still looking for a book.
FYI - Cynthia approved us reading a book where more than one person wrote the book under a single pseudonym, like the three Krista mentioned in message 9, above.
I'm planning on reading Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer. I was supposed to read it for the summer challenge, but I don't think I'll get to it.

For those with books-about-books love, Nancy and Lawrence Goldstone have authored several books about their mutual love of book collecting. Since they're spouses, their books would also work for Donna Jo's task.Another non-fiction option is Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark, who co-wrote The Stone of Heaven (which is about jade) and The Amber Room, about the famous lost Russian treasure.

This would also work for Janice's task. Wa-hoo!

Jefferson BassJefferson Bass is the writing team of Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson. Dr. Bass, a world-renowned forensic anthropologist, founded the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Research Facility -- the Body Farm.
They have written a series of 'Body Farm' novels. Bones of Betrayal A Body Farm Novel being one of them.
Cynthia, for this task, I was thinking of reading Click, which has chapters contributed by different authors. Would that count?
