10.6. I Resolve to Read Lots of Books!
Read a book whose author's initials can be found sequentially in NEWYEARSRESOLUTION. The letters can appear either forward or backwards, and the final “N” wraps to the initial “N,” so an author with the initials NN would work. Ignore middle names and middle initials.

REQUIRED: Include the name of the author in your post.

Examples: Nora Ephron (NEWYEARSRESOLUTION); Richard Adams (NEWYEARSRESOLUTION); Naomi Novik (NEWYEARSRESOLUTION)

Words like "von" and "de" (Tatiana de Rosnay) are usually considered part of the last name, rather than middle names.

It fits the task, but it appears that it's only listed in e-book format, so you'll need to get it approved in the ebook verification thread.

The task said to ignore middle names and initials. Did you mean just middle initials?
