25.5 - Tien's Task: All in the Family

Pick one (1) from the following three (3) Options and read 2 books as per option's task.

Option A
We are a family of T; that is, all 4 of us have names that start with the letter T.

For this option, read 2 books by 2 different authors with the same first initial. Books must be written by a single author. Names must be different but starting with same letter.

For example, Trinity Doyle & Thomas Mann work as they both have T as their first initials. Victoria Hislop & Victoria Purman do NOT work as their first name is identical.

Option B
Family usually will have the same last name.

For this option, read 2 books by 2 different authors with the same last name. Books must be written by a single author. Their last names must be exactly the same.

For example, these do not work:
Richard Adams and Jane Addams
Steve Berry and Dave Barry
Amanda Smyth and James Smythe

Option C
"Word families are groups of words that have a common feature or pattern - they have some of the same combinations of letters in them and a similar sound. For example, at, cat, hat, and fat are a family of words with the "at" sound and letter combination in common."

For this option, read 2 books with:
Book 1. word in title/subtitle that can be found (exact word only) in the ;
Book 2. word in title/subtitle within the same family of the word from Book 1. Word must also be found (exact word only) in the
REQUIRED: Please state the family group's name that you are using.

For example, from the family group: "ake"
Crimson Lake Lake - Lake
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake- Cake

Bagz this spot ;)

Option A
J.D. Vance does not work as published name is only using first initial

This thread is now open.

Morning.

Can I just confirm whether for option 2, last name is the usual "names are separated by spaces" thing?

One of my possible pair would be Sarah Stewart Taylor, so I just wanted to check the "Taylor" bit against Jodi Taylor.

Yes and your example is good to go too.

For Option A ... does an author who uses ONLY a first initial count?
J.D. Vance

Hey BC, we're going by published names of authors and it's hard to say what that initial stands for. You need to be able to show 'different names with same initial' so first initial only won't work. Sorry...

I was actually thinking of J.D. Vance ... in the book he gives his full name (James ... )
and I would match it with a woman ... so clearly a different name.

But if it's a no, it's a no.... early in the game and I can find another place for it.

Tien is correct. Please review the FAQs - I. General default rules - D.:

What if an author uses initials but I know that his/her full name fits an author name task, can I use that author?
No. The name as it appears on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ will be used.
