Many mainland European countries identify Martinmas or St. Martin's Day, November 11, as the first calendar day of winter. To recognize 11/11, read a book with the same consecutive double letter pair found twice in any combination of title, subtitle or series title words or the author's names. A pair of the same double letters (2 sets of 2) found within any one word or name also works. Combos with more than 2 pairs of the same letters are allowed.

The consecutive letter pairs must be the same letter in both pairs

ex. Glasshouse by Charles Stross SS in title and SS in author's name
Little Children by Tom Perrotta TT in title and TT in author's name
Saving CeeCee Honeycutt EE twice in title
Impostor by Susanne Winnacker NN in author's first and last names
After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall - LL in title (3 times)

Required: Please identify the letter when you post

I read The Kill Artist which is the first in the Gabriel Allon series. The letter "L" is doubled in both the book title and the series name.

Option 1: Scoundrel - Zoe Archer♥ (set in Greece, I live in the US) 8/18
***Claiming Goodreads Author***

Changing Option 1 to
Mutiny on the Bounty - John Boyne 8/20
(over half the action takes place on the island of Tahiti which requires travel by boat or air to reach from New Jersey).

Keeping Option 5 as is.

This will also reduce my Goodreads Authors to 24.
