25.8 - Coralie's task: Naming the New Generation

25.8 - Coralie's task: Naming the New Generation
My parents currently have six great-grandchildren, two girls and four boys.

Read 2 books, one for the girls and one for the boys.

Book 1: the girls
The girls' names are Amity and Verity.
Read a book by a FEMALE author which has a word in the title or subtitle that ends -ITY. The book may have more than one author but all of the authors must be female.
For example: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Book 2: the boys
The boys' names are Troy, Zeke, Arlo and Jack
Read a book by a MALE author who has exactly four letters in his first name as given by Goodreads. Spaces define names. The book may have more than one author but ALL the authors must be male AND ALL the authors must have four letters in their first name.

I am thinking this book might work for Book 1, but I wanted to check as the author is a pseudonym.

City of Dark Magic by Magnus Flyte

GR entry for Magnus Flyte states "Magnus Flyte is a pseudonym for the writing duo of Meg Howrey and Christina Lynch".

Yes, that works but mention that it is approved when you post it.

Thank you.

[Coralie]

I will be away for the next ten days. Tien has kindly agreed to answer any questions you may have while I am away.

Would a possessive work for this task, eg:
Aunt Dimity's Good Deed

I'm sorry, SandyL, this isn't quite within the spirit of the task so I'll have to say no.

[SandyL]

Thanks Tien - I'm not sure what you mean by the spirit of the task - is it because of the possessive? Or is it because Dimity is a name and I can't use that at all? (There are other books in the series that don't have the possessive)

the possessive, Sandy. Otherwise, Dimity is ok.

[SandyL]

Thanks so much for the clarification Tien!

Just checking that Murder on Trinity Place would work for Book 1?
