25.7 - Andy P’s Task: Symmetry

Many things in nature display some form of symmetry. During the spring with plants and animals rousing themselves from a winter’s sleep this symmetry becomes apparent.

First the general guidelines for this task:
> No book containing the genre Children’s on the book’s main page may be used for this task
> All books used for this task must be written by a single author.
> One book must fulfill the requirements for Book One, the other must fulfill the requirements for Book 2.
> The total page count for both books must be 500 or more.

Book 1. Read a book that contains a word of at least 5 letters in the title that begins and ends with the same letter. Subtitles are excluded.
ex. Madam Tulip, Blue Ticket

Book 2. Read a book by an author whose name contains a name part that begins and ends with the same letter. The name part must be at least 3 letters. Any name part would work: first, middle, other, last. An author who uses a single name may be used.
Ex. Willow Aster, Mary Anna Evans, Sara Nelson, Sophocles

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 3941 comments just checking the letters starting and ending the word / author's name do not have to be the same e.g. Madam / Miriam

I assume you mean the number of letters as Madam has five and Miriam has 6 since both words begin and end with a M. Either of these words would work.

No I meant both tasks having to start with same letter as in the example with M the books i have picked out

are Devoted in Death (5+ letter word)
and The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava reid

does it matter that the author begins with A and the word with D or do they both have to start with the Same letter
