The Bookworm Challenge discussion

It's that time again! Soon the yearly challenges for 2021 will be posted. I am posting the January special now to give you a couple of days to check your bookshelves and libraries. The four basic elements of life are: AIR, WATER, FIRE and EARTH. For this challenge, each title must have one of those four words. It can be a plural such as fires or a compound word such as waterfall. There will be a 4 point bonus awarded to anyone who uses each of the 4 words at least once. As usual, feel free to ask any questions. Happy reading!

Hello! Can I use the History of Middle Earth? It says it on the cover of the book, but when I link it it only shows The Lost Road and Other Writings

I would have to say no. The title is The Lost Road and Other Writings.
The series is The History of Middle Earth.
The challenge is for the title to have the word earth in it so this doesn't qualify.
