Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

25.1 - Andy P's Task: Pairs
This is a two book task. Read one book that fits the criteria for Book 1 and another that fulfills the requirements for Book 2.

No books with the genre "children" listed may be used for this task.

Book 1 is a Title task. Read a book that has one of the following body part pairs in the TITLE (subtitles are excluded): Eyes, Ears, Arms, Hands, Fingers, Legs, Feet, Toes, Kidneys. Please notice that the word MUST be plural because it is a pair.

Book 2 is an Author** task. Read a book that has exactly two authors listed on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. There must be two names listed in the author credits.
Examples:
The Golem of Hollywood by Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman
The Blood Gospel by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell

Books written by co-authors who use a one name pseudonym such as Charles Todd will NOT work as only one name is listed in the author credits.

**Only authors that are identified as authors (or a default blank in the author role field), co-authors, or contributors may be used for tasks involving author information. Other roles or functions such as editor, illustrator, artist, translator, introduction, designed by, foreward, preface, assistant or afterword may not be used for author-sourced tasks. Ask about other roles identified in a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ record in the season's General Questions help thread.

Would this work for book 2? My Forbidden Face: Growing Up Under the Taliban: A Young Woman's Story. To my understanding there are two authors listed, Latifa and Shekeba Hachemi. And the person who wrote the preface is not counted, right?

I'm not really sure about this one because on the cover of the book only Latifa is listed as the author so I'd like one of the moderators to confirm that Shekeba Hachemi is a coauthor before I say it is ok.

Does the word in book one have to mean the body part? Feet can mean a measurement and arms can mean weapons.

Is a translator a valid second author for book two?

Thank you

I know this wasn't on your list of paired body parts, but would Lungs Full of Noise work for part 1?

The word in book one does not have to have the same meaning, but for book 2 a translator is not a coauthor .

no lungs won't work, just the words on the list, Sorry

The word ..."

Thanks for the clarification.

As stated under the **, the people who write prefaces do not count as authors. Neither do translators. The NYT article , says the book is by Latifa and written with Shekel Hachemi. They are both listed on GRs as authors of the book (even if not on the cover), so it seems as if it fits the requirements for book 2 to me.

Andy wrote: "The word in book one does not have to have the same meaning, but for book 2 a translator is not a coauthor . "

So just to clarify. I'm working my way through the Martin Beck series, of which the next one is The Locked Room, for which the author details are: by Maj Sjöwall, Per Wahlöö, Paul Britten Austin (Translator), Michael Connelly (Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author) (Introduction). But if I read the previous comments right, that would be fine, as the actual authors are Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. Thought I'd better check.

Yes Show all and Wahoo are the coauthors

That should be Show all, My typing skills on the phone stink.

Well I have been edited and can't seem to fix it but the two authors are ok

I found this book in case anyone is looking..Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands by Chris Bohjalian

Andy wrote: "Donna Jo wrote: "I know this wasn't on your list of paired body parts, but would Lungs Full of Noise work for part 1?"

Okay, not a problem.

Andy wrote: "Yes Show all and Wahoo are the coauthors"

Cool. And hey, no phone is going to manage to type Swedish names with accents right!

This is a writing team, but they've meshed their names together to create the "author's" name. Would one of their books count for Book 2.

Christina Lauren

Another writing team, who wrote the very popular (and I thought, great) book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide are husband and wife journalists - Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. They are listed as co-authors on their books. Just an idea! I'm going to read their book China Wakes: The Struggle for the Soul of a Rising Power for this task.

Still need to settle on my body part though. My son actually had kidney cancer a couple years ago (fine now thanks to the wonderful health care team at Moffitt!), so, I thought a book about that, but, almost all the 'kidney' books are spelt just using the singular, not the plural.

Sorry no, it has to be two names although I would accept two pseudonyms.

I think eyes is the easiest one to find but as noted in message 9 the word does not have to have the "body" meaning so arms as in weapons, or feet as a unit of length would work if that helps at all.

I thought I had found one for kidneys (not that I didn't already have a book lined up with eyes) - The Jersey Sting: A True Story of Crooked Pols, Money-Laundering Rabbis, Black Market Kidneys, and the Informant Who Brought It All Down. Unfortunately, "kidneys" is in the subtitle.

Will these work for book 2?

All for the Union
The Journals of Lewis and Clark
One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future

Thank you.

This one actually sounds intriguing though - Stolen Kidneys, Dead Hookers & Other Nursery Crimes!

"Stories include: Excuse Me, But There's a Kidney in My Soup, Honey Is That a Dead Hooker Under Our Bed? and Narcissistic Nursery Rhyme."

Obviously the coauthor book fits the task

okay for two authors would you accept Private or Confessions of a Murder Suspect. Both books list two authors on the Gr page.

Jayme(the ghost reader) wrote: "okay for two authors would you accept Private or Confessions of a Murder Suspect. Both books list two authors on the Gr page."

They both work. Take your pick.

I think I will go with" Confessions of a Murder Suspect", thank you.

For Book 1 I think I'll go with Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands

(Thanks KS Mary!)

For Book 2, will any of these books be ok?

Half Irish
Authors are Pete Morin & Suzanne O'Leary

The House of Secrets
by Brad Meltzer & Tod Goldberg

Thanks!

Either book will work for book 2

Andy wrote: "Either book will work for book 2"
Great! Thanks Andy

I just want to confirm for book 1, that the word must be standalone and not embedded in another word. For example, I'm assuming I can't use Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe as it has the word 'toes', but, embedded in 'tomatoes'. Or can I?

Apologies if you have answered this already, as I might have missed it!

no sorry the word has to stand alone, but as someone has already pointed out the meaning does not have to be a body part so feet could refer to length or arms to ammunition or hands to workers

Thanks. I was just hoping to use a book already on my shelves, and that was as close as I could fine. I think I can get ahold of A Farewell to Arms quite easily though.

For Book 2 - by two authors - would any of the books in this series work?

Relic - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

This is book one in the Pendergast Series. Sometimes when I search for the book I see both authors listed, and sometimes I see only Preston listed. However ... when I open any of the book's main pages, both authors are definitely listed.

Book Concierge, I corrected all editions to show both authors as shown on cover.

hi, does The Kingmakers work for Book 2? Their GR page shows that Clay and Susan Griffith write the books together,

thanks

is this one clearly enough written by two authors? Christiane F. Mijn Tweede Leven

thanks :)

Would this book work for Book 2? Once Upon A Dream by Mary Balogh and Grace Burrowes. It is an anthology rather than just one story. I wasn't sure if there would be rules against using it. Thanks

If there are just two authors it works

Would like to verify that either of these would work for book 2 please:
