50.1 - Coralie's Task: Three Fictional Heroes

My first Hero is Hero Jarvis from the Sebastian St. Cyr series by C.S. Harris.

Book 1 – As the titles of the books in this series all begin with What, When, Why, Where, or Who, read a book with a title that begins with one of these words. Words must match exactly - no variations.

My second Hero is Hero Hollis from Trade Wind by M.M. Kaye.

Book 2 – As C.S. Harris and M.M. Kaye both use initials instead of a first name, read a book by a single author whose Goodreads name has just initials and a last name. Any number of initials may be present, but the name must consist only of initial(s) and a last name. For example, O Henry and J.R.R. Tolkien would work.

My third Hero is Hero Wantage from Friday's Child by Georgette Heyer.

Book 3 – As all these books are historical fiction, read a book with a main page genre of Historical Fiction.

The three books must total at least 750 pages.
No books with the genres children or kids on the main book page may be used.
Books whose main page lists any of these genres: Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga may not be used.

Thanks, Coralie.

So would Daniel Deronda work for Historical Fiction.
The MPG indicates Historical-Victorian.

If I read for book 1 a book that starts with one of the words in Dutch, is that ok? I read Wat je niet weet and ‘wat’ is the Dutch word for ‘what’

Sorry Ed, it needs to have historical fiction. (Of course if you keep looking one day you may find that it's there.)

Hi Claire. I had to check the rules of the challenge for this one.
I found
a) For a task that requires a word in the title you may use a direct word translation, such as required word purple A Cor Púrpura Purple is Púrpura in Portuguese
so the answer is yes.

Thank you, Coralie.
