It doesn't have to be initials right? for instance if there was a book by someone named Major Arkwright ( I just made that up), that would count, even thought the J and W are in the middle of the names?

Jack and Jill is too simple, right? What about Jonathan and Jillian?Hope they're on the mend!
A question about the first option. It says 'single authors only'.I would like to use the SRC rule that allows combining 2 works of poetry that have 100+ pages together.
Both authors of the works I'd like to read have a J and a W in their name. Would this fit the task? Or would it have to be two books of poetry, both by the same author?

Just to know for other tasks, for future poetry reading...
Is this because this task states 'single authors only', or is it in the basic SRC rules that when combining 2 works of poetry, that you have to use the same author for both works? Because I couldn't find that in the rules, but maybe I missed it.

Thank you Sandy!
Just to know..."
When you are doing this, you are essentially putting 2 books together to make one book. We added this limited exception since so many poetry books and plays are less than 100 pages, and we wanted to provide a way for people to use them anyway. However, you still need to treat them as one book.
Therefore, unless a task allows multiple authors in an author-based task, you have to use a single author.
Basically, just keep in mind that this rule is a special exception allowing you to use your two books as one book for this limited purpose of allowing you to use poetry and plays. So, you have to treat them as one book for any requirements regarding author, title, etc.

Thank you very much for your explanation! :)
I'll save your words here for future reference for myself.
I'm glad this rule is there... good poetry can be so worthwile to read...

When I found out that I'd been selected to create this task, I was looking after my 2 children who had high temperatures, so this task is linked to that.
REQUIRED: State in your post the option you used.
1. Both my children have the initials JW. Read a book written by an author with the letters J and W in their name. Single authors only.
2. My children are 4 and 1. The highest temperature either of them had was 39.6. Read a book where the page numbers are made up from 1, 3, 4, 6 or 9. Each number can only be used once, and no other numbers can be used.
Examples: 146, 391, 463.
Optional: Leave your guess as to my children's first names in the help thread.
