Would this work- even though second title has
a hyphen?

Small Town Girl

His Small-Town Girl

Do variations in spelling matter, such as color vs colour? E.g. The Colour and The Color Purple. Thanks!

[Meg]

I think I found one. This task is hard - I love it!
Winter's Tale
The Winter's Tale

[Meghan]

This is a tough one! Think I'm going with:

Into the Wild and
Into the Wild Nerd Yonder

[Book Concierge]

Some suggestions:
Girl on a Train / A.J. Waines (match phrase "Girl On" with below)
The Girl on the Train / Paula Hawkins (OR match phrase "The Girl" with below)
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon / Stephen King


The Martian
The Martian Child -OR-
The Martian Chronicles

[Pia]

Does this work?

The Girl Next Door

and

The Girl on the Train

[Pamela]

Will these work?

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Ben H. Winters, Jane Austen

I think it will be interesting to compare the original with the tweaked version.

The entire title of Book A must be found complete within the title of Book 2- Girl on a train/Girl on the train doesn't work.

The Martian and The Martian Chronicles or The Martian Child: A Novel About a Single Father Adopting a Son does work.

Can you please specify this in your original task description ... because the description just refers to a "title phrase" ... doesn't say entire title.

[Lauren]

Do these work?

The Hunter
Heart of the Hunter

[Donna Jo]

Okay, I think I've got it--
I'd like to use For All Time
followed by A Love for All Time

For some reason I found myself completely befuddled by this task, although it makes perfect sense.

[Teri-K]

I've been wanting to check out Little Women and Me, so of course I'll need to reread Little Women, too. And they work perfectly for this task! Fun!

Yes, I've already got it saved. Thanks for the reminder, though. :)

Thank you

[Camilla]

Do these work:

Dangerous Women 1 (This will probably not work, since there is also the series number attached to the actual title)
The Lure of Dangerous Women

The Enemy
The Enemy Within

The Wall
The Wall of the Sky, the Wall of the Eye

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

The "1" would need to be in the B title, but the other 2 work

Duh; i noticed that I had linked the wrong book (I wondered what the number 1 was doing there, as I was sure I had seen it without it). I meant Dangerous Women, which combines Dangerous Women 1, Dangerous Women 2 and Dangerous Women 3.

[Jenifer]

I've fun with this task. Maybe a little too much fun...here is a list of possible titles:

The Accident and The Accident Season

The Island and On the Island

The Stranger and The Stranger You Know

Wicked Intentions and Lord of Wicked Intentions

[Pamela]

Does the title of book A need to be intact in book B or do all of the words in book A need to be in the title of book B. I'm considering The Secret: What Great Leaders Know - And Do and The O ne Minute Secret.

Thanks!

Pamela wrote: "Does the title of book A need to be intact in book B or do all of the words in book A need to be in the title of book B. I'm considering The Secret: What Great Leaders Know - And Do..."

The title of A must appear exactly within the title of B- not just intact (by intact we usually mean "old" in "gold") with "no intervening or additional words."
The Secret: What Great Leaders Know - And Do and The O ne Minute Secret do not work- minute is an intervening word

[Lulu]

Would this work?

Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast (ignoring the subtitle)
& The Beauty

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

Lulu wrote: "Would this work?

Oops, my reading comprehension clearly isn't up to scratch today! Thanks.

yes, that works

[Trish]

I've been struggling with this, but I think I've finally got a combination:
Red Horse, MJ Logue
Riding the Red Horse, Tom Katman/Vox Day editors (approved in ebook verification thread)

[Chris]

Do the words have to be in the same order? For example (and I'm making this up)
The Hat
The Blue Hat
