25.2 - Amy FL’s Task: If I Only Had a Heart
Poor sentimental Tin Man spent the entire movie lamenting his lack of a heart, so let’s help him find one.

This is a two-book task. Read one book for two different options. The two books combined must be at least 500 pages.
OR
one book that fulfills two different options, but that book must be at least 500 pages long.
Required: Specify the options.

Option 1: Read a book with the word HEART in the title. It must be standalone (no hyphenated words) and cannot be possessive. It may not be a plural since the Tin Man only needs one heart.

Option 2: Read a book by a single author whose name contains all the letters in HEART.
Heather Young, Martha Wells

Option 3: The Tin Man was so sweet and sentimental, that the heart he was searching for seemed to already be there. The song Tin Man by America explains just that.

Read a book that contains a word in the title that can be found in the lyrics of Tin Man: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ameri....
The word must be at least four letters long and it must match exactly.

Example for the one-book option: The Ink Black Heart by Robert Galbraith (1,024 pages)
Option 1: Heart in the title
Option 2: Heart in the author's name

Heart is in the title and author's name and it has over 500 pages, so you are good to go, Kim.

Thanks for posting this, Louise. It makes a really good alternative to my plan.

Just to be sure. Can the four-letter word from the lyrics for Option 3 be "THAT"?

I'm thinking of The Crime THAT Binds, which is due to be published in October

Absolutely! Any word with four or more letters that appears in the lyrics works.
