Would a last name of McLean work?

yes, "lean" is intact in the name.

Do I understand correctly that as long as the word "lean" is found in the title, even if hidden within another word, that's okay? So The Cleansing would work?

That's the way I understood it also, Camilla. I am reading Clean Sweep

Yes, the task falls for the word to be "found intact" - so as long as all the letters of the word are together, making the word "lean," it works.

Great, thanks Sandy!

I'm planning to read A River Runs Through It.

I also thought of The Happiness Project: Or Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun which I read for the Spring challenge.

I'm also looking forward to reading Eleanor Marx: A Life which would fit for this prompt.

Would a book by Lean Cullinan be okay? I ask because her name is usually written with an accent on the letter e, although this doesn't appear to be included in the Goodreads record. Thank you!
