so am i right in thinking you can use the whole words for option 5 not just the acronym letters
Marie (UK) wrote: "so am i right in thinking you can use the whole words for option 5 not just the acronym letters"No, it says "an author with their first and last initials in ‘IPSF’ " so only 'IPSF' can be used, not 'INTERNATIONAL POLE SPORTS FEDERATION'.
I hope that answers your question.

Portrait of an Unknown Woman (other topics)
Hurray! My first task here on SRC, after almost a year of participating. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all.
Read two books for this task. Choose one option for each book. When you post, state which options you used.
Option 1:
My name is Hannah, and I live together with my black cat Pörrö. Pörrö is absolutely adorable, except when he stashes living mice and bugs in his hideout under my bed.
My name is a palindrome, which means it is the same backward and forward.
Read a book by an author who has one name part that is a palindrome. The entire name part counts.
Some names that would work: Ada, Anna, Bob, Elle, Eve, Hannah, Otto.
Option 2:
I’m 32 years old, identifying as female (she/her) and live in a little village in the forest in the Netherlands.
Read a book set in the Netherlands.
REQUIRED: If the setting is not clear from the GR description or the metadata, provide a reference. In this case, we’re only counting ‘the Netherlands’ as the country in Europe, and not the other territories like the Carribean Netherlands.
Option 3:
I am an artist. I love to paint forest landscapes in acrylic paint, and have a passion for crafts. Anything made by hand, I love to see how it works, learn how to do it and see what others make.
Read a book with a MPG of ‘Art’ or ‘Crafts’. Genres may be standalone or embedded. (Please keep in mind the Rules of the Challenge : ""Coffee table", Art books, and other books consisting primarily of images or photographs without a substantial written component (essays, criticism, etc.) may not be be claimed for points.")
OR read a book from one of the following lists:
Art & Artists in Fiction
Fiction Featuring Embroidery and Embroiders
Crafty Cozy Mysteries
REQUIRED:: State which list you used and which page the book is on.
Option 4:
Unfortunately I have several chronic illnesses, and I am mostly affected by the extreme exhaustion. This means there are many things I can’t do anymore. I’m glad I can still read on most days, which is a big source of joy (along with the SRC!)
Extreme exhaustion happens with ME/CFS and with Long Covid, which is in many ways similar to ME. Many of the people suffering ME/CFS aren’t able to participate in society anymore, some are even bedbound.
By using the hashtag #MILLIONSMISSING , they/we are hoping to gain awareness for this horrible illness, and hopefully finally get some more funding for research.
Read a book with at least three words in the title (subtitle excluded), with the first letter of each word matching a letter in ‘MILLIONSMISSING’. (Letters may be used as often as they appear, not more.)
Option 5:
I am a big fan of pole sports! I used to do it myself, but now that I am too ill, I enjoy watching the national and international championships. The international competition is hosted by the International Pole Sports Federation - IPSF.
Read a book by an author with their first and last initials in ‘IPSF’ (all middle initials can be ignored).
Optional activity: Dineke Minten is a pole dancer from the Netherlands that has won many prizes. Type her name into YouTube and check out one of her performances, like her Wonder Woman routine at Olympia in 2019.
