Agh, sorry. That was a copy/paste error - it's correct on the Alpha Readerboard. I'll get that fixed for you now.

Task 30.9 requires you to specify your options. You have only specified one, so I can't determine what criteria your second book is meant to match.

Mabeelle message 1018

From the default rules:

...a "word" in a title is a string of letters/symbols/punctuation marks with no spaces. So, a contraction is one word, as is a hyphenated word.

Books in languages other than English may be used, but please provide information on the book and/or title to your English speaking moderators so they can understand how the books fit the tasks. Any task requiring a specific title (number of letters, number of words, specific word in title, etc.) should apply to the title that you use.


Unfortunately, this means that L'étrangère is a one-word title and ineligble for task 20.3 option 3.
