30.4 - Dlmrose's Task: It's In the DNA

DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemicals that form base pairs: adenine (A) with thymine (T) AT or TA and cytosine (C) with guanine (G), CG or GC.

Read 2 books

Book 1: Read a book written by a single author with first and last name initials that match the adenine-thymine pair initials AT or TA or the cytosine-guanine initials CG or GC.
examples: AT= Amor Towles, TA = Tim Akers, CG = Christopher Golden , GC = Glen Cook

Book 2: Read a book with consecutive words in the TITLE that begin with the adenine-thymine pair initials AT or TA or the cytosine-guanine initials CG or GC.
examples: AT = The Truth of All Things, TA = Thin Air, CG = Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers Who Helped Win World War II, GC = Grand Cayman Slam

A and The may be included.

Always keeping me on my toes you are!

Do all words count, like a, to, and the? I was considering The Alice Network or The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.

Seconding Amy's question - I was considering A Tyranny of Petticoats for book 2.

Yes, A and The may be included.

author initials A.R. Torre does this not work because there is an R in between

The first and last initials are A T, that's fine

I thought this task was going to defeat me...and then I looked at a couple of new books I had recently bought. I found Amy Tan! Gee, was I surprised!
