25.6 - Sandy's Task: Back to Basics

Since it's fall and school is starting again, time to refresh on the basics!

No books with the main page genres childrens or kids can be used for this task. Your two books combined must have at least 500 pages.

Book 1: Read a book that has all the vowels in its title and/or subtitle. For purposes of this task, vowels are A E I O U (not Y).

Book 2: Read a nonfiction book that has at least 5 different consonants (Y is a consonant) in the title only. Subtitles cannot be used.

For Book 2, is it ONLY 5 different consonants, or AT LEAST 5 different consonants?

at least

NOTE the task has been amended to include "at least"

For book 2: The Dark Heart: A True Story of Greed, Murder, and an Unlikely Investigator.

I think this one works: T, H, D, R, K (H, R, T). The consonants in Heart only repeat the ones already noted in the first two words.

Also, since this is a Kindle edition, I would use the top paperback for page count - 320p.
