Great task Lisa. I especially like that you can do one option twice!For Opt. 3, can we use a title that is digits and not letters? I am thinking of 13½ by Nevada Barr. If you spell out the digits, there will be letters in STRESSED. But the title is digits only - sooooo?

Thanks! Glad you like the task. Digits work for Opt. 3
For option 1, does the book have to have a MPG genre of mystery AND standalone AND embedded? Or can it only be one genre?

As 2025 approaches, reflect on the past year. What were your hardest moments, your greatest joys, the things you wish you could’ve done differently? Now, leave all the negative behind and carry forward into the New Year only the positive and lessons learned. Look forward with anticipation to the upcoming year, new beginnings, and remember to stay present in the moment.
This is a 2-book task. You may choose to do one option twice if it makes you happy!
Option 1: My hardest moment last year was the death of my father in August. I take comfort knowing he lived and loved well. I have lots of happy memories to sustain me. One thing I will carry forward is my dad instilled in me the love of reading, especially mysteries.
For this option, read a book with a MPG of mystery, standalone or embedded, AND whose title and/or subtitle contains ALL the letters of FATHER.
Option 2: My greatest joy of last year was the engagement of both my sons. I have two weddings to look forward to in 2025 and I’m gaining two daughters!
For this option, read a book from the first 25 pages of Goodreads "Weddings Books" Shelf: Wedding Books
Required: State the page
Option 3: There are many things I could’ve done differently last year, but overall, I think I need to give myself permission to say no to other commitments and people and say more yes to myself. Saying yes to everything causes me to get STRESSED and when I get stressed, I eat……. DESSERTS, which cause me to gain weight.
For this task, you need to de-stress and read a book whose title does not contain any letters of STRESSED. Subtitles can be ignored.
