15.1 Ancient or New?

Most people know about the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World, but all but one do not exist anymore. In the early 2000's there was a campaign to vote on new Wonders of the World based on existing monuments.

7 Ancient Wonders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_W...
7 New Wonders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_7_W...

Book 1- Read a book with a word of 4+ letters in the title that can be spelled from one of the 7 Ancient Wonders on the list. Letters can be used as many times as they appear.
Required: State the word and the wonder

Book 2- Read a book with a word of 4+ letters in the title that can be spelled from one of the 7 New Wonders on the list. Letters can be used as many times as they appear.
Required: State the word and the wonder

Is it okay to use Giza Pyramids from the second list, although it's honorary? I've been meaning to read Pyramids for ages, but the ancient version doesn't have an S in it.

Thanks.

For ease of moderation, if it is on list at the link it may be used. So yes, this will work.

I guess technically we will be using 8 new wonders.

The first book works, but the second one doesn't have a word that you can spell from that wonder. I think you mean you can find GIRL in the second title. But you would actually have to find GIRLS, the apostrophe can be ignored, but the words are separated by spaces.

It's fine. I found one that will work now. It's Good Girl, Bad Girl. Would that work instead for Great Wall of China (New)?

Yes, that one works.
