15.4. The Perils of Pauline
One of the early damsels in distress appeared in the 1914 weekly movie serial melodrama, The Perils of Pauline.

OPTION 1
Book 1: Read a book whose author matches the first or last name of the cast members of the serial. The cast members are listed in the Wikipedia article, and also in post 2 in the help thread for the task.

Names must match exactly, but the names do not have to be in the same position in both names - for instance, Francis Carlyle can be used for Dick Francis. If the book has more than one author, the names of each author must match a cast member name.

AND

Book 2: Read a book with a word in its title/subtitle that matches a word in one of the episode titles, following the list of cast members in the Wikipedia article (and also listed in post 3 in the help thread). Words must match exactly. "A" and "the" cannot be used.

OR

Option 2
Read 1 book that satisfies both requirements of Option 1.

Just want to verify that for book 2, we're allowed to use the words "by", "of", and "in"

You can use any words except those which are excluded by the task.

Awesome, thanks Sandy! I always challenge myself to complete 15.3 and 15.4 with a single book if possible, and I have three on my TBR list that will fit (only one of which I actually have a copy of, but there's always the library).

Are we only using the cast names, or the character names as well?

yes

[Kim]

Would this work for the one book option?

Stealing Secrets: How a Few Daring Women Deceived Generals, Impacted Battles, and Altered the Course of the Civil War

name match is Donald
word match is "of"

Thank you.

I am so glad you posted this. I was having so much trouble finding a book that fits both and ultimately chose to two do books... But I had A Head Full of Ghosts for my first book and didn't even notice that "of" was in one of the chapter titles for book 2. *facepalm*

those little words are tricky!

[Ed]

For Option 1...

I'm reading Gin & Daggers. The book lists two authors- Jessica Fletcher and Donald Bain. In actuality, Jessica Fletcher IS Donald Bain. She is a made up character that Donald Bain is pretending to have as the author. Would Donald qualify for Option 1 here?

yes

[Jen K]

Would the name still count as a match if it is missing the accent mark? I would like to use Jose Antonio Vargas for Edward Jose.

Thanks!!
