10.6 - Three of the Same
September, October, November all end in -BER. Read a book with a title/subtitle that contains at least 2 different words that end with same 3 letters. Words must have at least 4 letters. Ex:
Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish - Cherish/Perish
All a Twitter: A Personal and Professional Guide to Social Networking with Twitter -- Personal/Professional
A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing-- Nothing/Something
Required: State the words.

The two words ending in the same 3 letters need to be different words. They can be opposites (real/unreal) but hyphenated words that contain the same base word will not work.

It doesn't say, are books with childrens genre allowed?
Edit : the book I am planning on reading doesn't have childrens listed as a genre. One Eye Laughing, the Other Weeping: The Diary of Julie Weiss

[Brooke]

Is there a minimum length for the words? For example, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There, And/Fairyland both end in "and."

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

Standard SRC rules apply.

[Coralie]

Would The Unreal and the Real: Selected Stories, Volume One: Where on Earth work? rEAL and unrEAL

The usual methods- Scan your shelves, the shelves of friends, your GR recommendations, library shelves, GR lists, etc.. See what other post in completed tasks.

For people looking for ideas, I was planning on using The Sisters Brothers.

[Trish]

Would Here & There work? Or are those two words too close to count?

It works, those are 2 different words that end in the same 3 letters.

Hi! I was planning on reading "Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race" but on Goodreads it only shows up as Hidden Figures. Should I find another book to read?

You can ask for the subtitle to be added by one of our helpful librarians in Anyone with librarian status

You can search your GR bookshelf, by entering common 3 letter endings like, "ing," "lly," etc..... It will pull up anything on your shelf with those endings.

For those looking for ideas I think this works

Writing & Knitting

It looks to be ebook only and would required verification

Does this qualify as two different words? Beasts and Super-Beasts

[Kristina Simon]

Nicola wrote: "Does this qualify as two different words? Beasts and Super-Beasts"

No, sorry. A hyphenated word that contains the same base word doesn't fit the spirit of this task at all. See note in post #2.

[Maya]

If anyone needs ideas, And Then There Were None works as well (there / were)

[Nicola]

Do names count as words?

Mercier and Camier
