30.1 - Mazza1's task: Create a Date

I don't know about everyone else but I am still experiencing problems getting access to books from a library and am relying on things like Scribd, e-libraries and Kindle unlimited. Because of this I wanted to create a task that was not restricted to lists or genres

This is a two book task, from two different options.
The combined page total for both books must be 600 pages or more.
Books with the MPG Childrens may NOT be used.
All title tasks are TITLE only, ignore subtitles.

Required: State the options you chose when you post.

Option 1: Read a book with a day of the week in its TITLE: an S may be added to pluralise or create a possessive.
e.g. Sunday's on the Phone to Monday

Option 2: Read a book written by a single author whose name (first, middle or last) is a month of the year (Must match exactly, no exceptions)
Louisa May Alcott or January Daphne

Option 3: Read a book with an ordinal number that corresponds to a day in the month (i.e., 1st through 31st) in its TITLE. e.g. 3rd Degree OR The 12th Planet. Ordinals written out such as First or Fourth do NOT work.

Option 4: Read a book with a year (numerical format) or a range of years in its TITLE. This could be a year or a range of years in the past, present, or future but MUST pertain to a year(s). The full year(s) must be represented. e.g., 1984, 2312, Alexander of Macedon, 356-323 B.C., or Tank Warfare on the Eastern Front 1941-1942: Schwerpunkt are acceptable but 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews: Ready-to-Use Words and Phrases That Really Get Results or Naples '44: A World War II Diary of Occupied Italy will NOT work.

Would Naples '44: A World War II Diary of Occupied Italy work. I ask because clearly relates to a year, but is only 2 numbers, so I wasn't sure

No I intended this to be in full year format, so sorry it won't work.

I will ask mods to make that clearer

Thanks, that's why I wanted to check

Just clarifying before I waste time reading: The Rise of Wolf 8: Witnessing the Triumph of Yellowstone's Underdog would work for Option 3, but 11/22/63 does not work for Option 4. Is that right? Thanks!

For option 3: Can I use Three Nights in August: Strategy, Heartbreak, and Joy Inside the Mind of a Manager? It shows the number on the cover but on many of the editions in goodreads the number is written out. Thanks!

the example you give does not work for option 3 the format would have to be 8th rather than 8 and no the option 4 does not work it has to be a full year

so unfortunately neither of these books work

an ordinal number shows its position so 3 is not ordinal it would have to be 3rd 3 is a cardinal number and this book will not work
