15.4. In honor of Captain Tom

A very British character was Captain Tom (Thomas Moore), who recently died of COVID. He managed to raise £32m for the NHS by walking around his garden 100 times before his 100th birthday, and went on to score a No.1 hit with Michael Ball with "You'll Never Walk Alone", and to be knighted.

Option 1.
Book 1 - Read a book with a title of at least three words, where the initials of each title word can be found in "You'll Never Walk Alone." Letters can be used only as often as they appear in the phrase.
AND
Book 2 - Read a book with an author name of Tom or Thomas, or one of its variations found in Behind The Name - Thomas The name may be found in any position of the author's name (for instance, Sherry Thomas)

OR

Option 2
Read one book that satisfies the requirements for both books of Option 1.
