Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11209 comments 5.5 - Abstract Nouns
Read a book with an abstract noun in the title/subtitle. For the purposes of this task, the noun must be found on this list: Examples of Abstract Nouns. Plurals and possessives will work, but no other variations.
Required: State the abstract noun you used when you post.

Wanda (wanda71) | 1770 comments Just checking that this would be acceptable.

Gray Girl: Honor Isn't Always Black and White

The noun Honor is in the subtitle.

Nicola Tyson | 216 comments Hi, int he list it has "Beauty" and "Peculiarity" as examples. Can i use the words Beautiful or Peculiar instead and read one of these two titles?
Beautiful Broken Things by Sara Barnard or Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1) by Ransom Riggs

No, sorry. Plurals and possessives are the only variations allowed.

Nicola Tyson | 216 comments I thought so. I'll use this instead On Beauty by Zadie Smith and just read those for fun :)

That'll work. Enjoy. ;-)

Sarah (shiraloo) | 240 comments Would the plural rule work in reverse? So the word "Dreams" is on the list, could I read a book with the word "Dream" in it?

No, sorry, the words must be exact with plurals and possessives being the only variations.

Where is it on the list?

EShay Fagan (eshay11) | 569 comments I didn't read closely enough. Didn't realize it had to be from the list, just the definition of an abstract noun.... Frustrating. Sorry for the wasting of time.
