20.1 - Most Improved - TessaVanessa's Task: TessaVanessa's NYC Adventure

This past week I got to travel to New York City for the first time. This challenge will cover some of the highlights.

Pick an option and read a book for that option.
Required: State the option.

Option 1: While riding the boat over to the Statue of Liberty I was trying to figure out the first time I realized I wanted to visit NYC. I was 4 years old and watched Sesame Street everyday. I loved the streetscape and I think that is where the seed was planted. Read a book that has a title of at least 3 words, where the first letter of each word appears in SESAME STREET. Ignore subtitles.
Letters can only be used as often as they appear.

Option 2: How can you visit NYC and not go to a show? The show we had tickets for was Wicked. It was an amazing performance. Read a book with a cover that is at least 50% green according to TinEye. A guide to using TinEye can be found here.

Required: Post the cover.

Option 3: Seeing New York City portrayed in many television shows and movies, you see how the streets and roads are insanely crowded. We opted to take the subway everywhere (something else I always dreamed of doing.) Read a book with all of the letters of SUBWAY in the title (ignore subtitles).

Option 4: Our main reason for visiting (at least my husband’s) was to see the final show of KISS-The End of the Road Tour. He has been a fan since childhood. They celebrated 50 years as a band this year. Read a book by an author that shares a first or last name with one of the four final members: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, Eric Singer. Names must match exactly, but can be in any place.

Required: State the band member.

Robin P | 1610 comments For option 1, can letters only be used as often as the appear?
ExampleRed Rising - R is in SESAME STREET but only 1 time. (That's just an example, I don't have a specific book in mind to read yet.)

That’s so frustrating!

Thanks, no problem, just wanted to be sure.
