Probably a silly question, but...How to Seduce a Vampire (Without Really Trying) -- would the () part count as part of the title?
I want to use it for VANIR, but I wasn't sure if to you all the parenthetical part of the title would be considered subtitle (and I figured it had to be all one or the other, not both.)
Thanks!
Mod
Series titles don't count, but here the parentheses are used in the more usual way as part of a phrase, not as indicating a series.
Just ignore

sure, there's an "n" in trying. See post 6 above.

Yes there is. Sorry, going blind I guess.

LOL - I already know that when books start getting posted for this task, if I don't see the letters I need, I'll need to check 3 times and get my husband to look at it as well.................. It's REALLY easy to slide right over one.

Usually they are highlighted and it's really easy to spot them for verification.
For those longer titles, all those letters to run together, lol!

thanks for the suggestion!
ETA - just tried it out and it works like a charm! I never thought of that, but this will be really helpful in moderating. Could also be a useful tool for people to use before posting!
AESIR: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann ShafferVANIR: Overheard in a Dream by Torey L. Hayden
A couple of my friends raved about Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal so I put a hold on at the library. It should be in next week and will work perfectly for VANIR! :)
Will The Wavedancer Benefit: A Tribute to Frank Muller work for VANIR? I'm not sure that it is available in print format. If it doesn't, I'm sure I'll come up with something else. It just looked interesting as it incorporates several authors I enjoy.
Mod
Sorry, it looks as if it only exists as an audiobook, and the rules specify that audiobooks that don't exist in any print form can't be used for SRC purposes.
Thanks, obviously I need to memorize the rule a little more beyond Read the book! I'm sure I can find something else that'll work.
Mod
I hope so. I just started looking through my own TBR (which, granted, is massive) and I found a bunch that would work for both - and that's before I even start looking at new books at the library and such.
Mod
Or can I read a book that has the letters in any order?"
No particular order is required - the letters simply have to be in the title/subtitle.
Brill, I have the 2 books I want lol x
Aesir: The Remains of the Day -- this one just happens to have all the letters in one word.The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Vanir: The Last American Vampire
The Last American Vampire by Seth Grahame-Smith
Aesir: Just Kids from the Bronx: Telling It the Way It Was: An Oral History All letters are contained in title and subtitlethanks!
Um, ok no one ever answered this series of questions so I am going to finish Fortune's Children and just post -- I know mods are busy this time of year. The books are great, so that is the real point!!
Mod
sorry, didn't notice these. The books clearly fit the tasks, so not sure why any answer would be needed.
