30.7 - TessaVanessa's Task: New Year, New You

With January comes the opportunity to start afresh, and people around the world resolve to change something in their lives for the better. Below is a list of some of the more popular New Year’s Resolutions people make.

This is 2 book challenge.

1. Eat better
2. Exercise more
3. Spend less money
4. Self care
5. Read more books
6. Learn a new skill
7. Get a new job
8. Make new friends
9. Get a new hobby
10. Focus more on appearance

Book 1: Pick one resolution and read a book that has all the letters in that resolution in the title/ subtitle. REQUIRED: State which resolution you used.

Examples: #1 - Eat Better - Eastern Standard Tribe
# 4 - Self Care - Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker
#8 - Make New Friends - My Life with Bob: Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues

Book 2: Pick a different resolution and read a book that has a word of at least 3 letters from that resolution in the title/subtitle. Words must match exactly. REQUIRED: State which resolution you used.

Lagullande | 387 comments Just checking, the word from Book 2 must be stand-alone in the resolution? eg you couldn't use EAT from a title including Death

It needs to be stand-alone.

Ed Lehman | 809 comments So the instructions don't have the usual caution that the letters may not be used more than once. So, if that usual rule is not in effect here, does Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore work with the "Read more Books" resolution?

Sorry, no. See the FAQs

"2. If I have to find an author's initials, a title word, etc., in a specified word (such as author's initials found in ANCIENT), how many times can I use each letter in the target word?
Only once - so if the word is ANCIENT, you could not use Aravind Adiga, since there is only one A in the target word. On the other hand, you could use Nele Neuhaus, since the target word has 2 N's."

ETA - but unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look as if you would have to use letters more than once.
