Option 1: This is a two book task. Read one book from each option.
Book 1:
Read a book with a title of 3 or more words. Each word in the title must contain more letters than the preceding word. Ignore subtitles.
Example:
The Good Daughter (3, 4, 8)
The Captain's Daughter (3, 8, 9)
- Words with a hyphen will be considered one word. Count all of the letters on both sides of the hyphen. Do not count the hyphen. Example: check-in = 7 letters

- Titles with numerals do not work for this task. Numbers written out as words are fine
Example: 1st to Die will not work
The Nine Tailors will work
- Words with a hashtag - ignore the hashtag, count the letters
- Words with an apostrophe - ignore the apostrophe, count the letters on both sides of the apostrophe
