30.6 - BrookeTX's task: Riot Grrls

This is a two book task - read one book which fulfills the Book 1 requirements and one which fulfills the Book 2 requirements. One of your books can have an MPG of Comics, Manga, or Graphic Novel.

Book 1: Read a book whose author shares a name with one of the musicians from this list: Riot grrl musicians. Names must match exactly, but can be found in any position.

Book 2: Read a book whose title/subtitle contains a word* found in one of the band names from this list: Riot Girrls Bands. Words must match exactly. (*The word "The" may not be used.) If the band name uses a digit, the matching title word must also be a digit.

Example: Band name Tribe 8. A matching title would be From a Buick 8. Hard Eight would NOT work.

Thank you."

Sorry for the delayed response! The task description has been updated to include the title/subtitle.

That works!

Does it matter if the name is hyphenated? In this case, I'd like to use a book by Dolores Gordon-Smith for Book 1 to match either of the musicians named Smith.

Book 1: Archangel's Legion by Nalini Singh
Book 2: Some of Your Blood or Bad Blood
Please confirm if these are okay to read for this task.

Per SRC rules:

"7. What about authors with hyphenated names?
We treat hyphenated words, including names, as one word."

So Gordon-Smith would not work as a match for Smith.

Those are fine!

Thank you!

May I use Red-Headed Stepchild for Red? (I have an alternative if not. :) )

Per SRC rules, hyphenates count as one word, so that wouldn't match. Sorry!
