15.4 - It's a Repeat

[Kristina Simon]

15.4 -- It's a Repeat
April 11th is International Louie, Louie Day. In addition, Oceania is the home of many repetitive place names (Pago Pago, Wagga Wagga, and Woy Woy, for example). For this task:
A. Read one book with a word in the title that repeats (Ex: Absalom, Absalom!, My Darling, My Hamburger, What Is the What, I Am What I Am, etc.). Excluded words: a, an, the, and, but, or, to, in, of, as
OR
B. Read two books that have the same word in the title (Ex: Deep Down and Deep Storm, Deception Point and The Face of Deception, PS, I Love You and For the Love of Pete, etc.). If you choose the 2 book option, both books must be written by different authors. Same excluded words as above apply. The words must be exactly the same (light and lights, for example, will not work).

[Kristina Simon]

Approved
Repeating numbers in the title -- Ex: 60 Quick Knits in Cascade 220: 20 Hats*20 Scarves*20 Mittens

[Kristina Simon]

Will NOT work:
Repeating words in author's name -- Ex: Ford Madox Ford

[Deedee]

How about repetitive author names? I'm thinking specifically of Ford Madox Ford

No. Titles only. Sorry.

[Kristina Simon]

Heads up! There should be 10 excluded words for this task.
They are: a, an, the, and, but, or, to, in, of, as

As got left off this morning. Sorry!

Have heard really good things about it and that's next up in the series for me.

[Dee]

ditto! the second was better than the first, so I have hopes for the third

Wanted to know if Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha would work for your task

Yes it would.

[kiki]

i was JUST coming to ask the same question as Robin. :) yeay!

[★Meghan★]

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You...there are a few repeats in this one.

[Heather]

Would these books work? The reason I ask is because the word "Grace" appears in the subtitle for one of the books:

The God Of Second Chances Experiencing His Grace For The Rest Of Your Life
Experience Grace in Abundance: Ten Strategies for Your Spiritual Life

Subtitles are fine, so yes this would work.

[Jennifer N.]

The Sea, The Sea would work.

LOL... Can't get much more repetitive than that ;o).

[Erin (NY)]

Another possibility: Hush, Hush

[♥Meagan♥]

I'm reading Times Square Red, Times Square Blue for it (luckily I also have to read it for class!) :)

[Gayla]

I'm using Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter.

[Tanya Patrice]

Looks like my question was asked and answered - about subtitles. So just throwing this book out:


2044: The Problem isn't Big Brother. It's Big Brother, Inc., Eric Lotke

Do words like Ha-Ha and Ya-Ya count as repeats?
The Ha-Ha
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

Yes, they count. Any words except the 10 excluded ones will work.

[Riona]

I think I will be using The City & The City, if anyone is looking for a sci-fi/fantasy suggestion.

[Jennifer N.]

How Late It Was, How Late would work.

[Juli]

I'm thinking I'll use Mirror Mirror for this task.

[Beth F]

Would you consider a number a word for the purpose of this task?

Specifically, the number 20...60 Quick Knits in Cascade 220: 20 Hats*20 Scarves*20 Mittens

That will work.

Can both books be by the same author? As in Dead Reckoning and A Touch of Dead both by Charlaine Harris

Nope, sorry, the task description says: If you choose the 2 book option, both books must be written by different authors.

I am going to do "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang" by Chelsea Handler. It's been a while since I read a "comedy" book, and it is the first e-book I checked out of the library!
