25.1 - KmarieD's Task: It's My Birthday

My birthday comes during this season, so I am making this task all about me.

Choose 2 options and read 1 book for each.
Required: State which options you choose.
Your total page count should be at least 500 pages.

Option 1: I have been a major bookworm since I taught myself to read at a very young age. Some of my earliest memories are family trips to the library. When I was in second grade, the rule was that I could checkout as many as I could carry myself. However, at that time, my city library required us to write out the titles of all our books on our checkout slips. Boy, did my hand get tired often.

Read a book with a title that has at least 5 words. Subtitles are excluded.

Option 2: I love to visit my family and my sister credits me for the exceptional reading levels of my niece and nephews. There is a significant age difference between the first two and their little brother. When the first two were little, the first question when I visited was "What books did you bring?" However, by the time the little one was born, we had transitioned to playing more board games, so although he does like books, his first question is usually "What games did you bring?"

Read a book where all the letters from either BOOKS or GAMES can be found in the title and/or subtitle.
Required: State the word you used.

Option 3: I spend a lot of my whole birthday month blaming all my splurges -usually for books, games and LEGO - on my birthday. I just had to get a new car, well new-to-me, so I won't have as much extra money now that I have a car payment again. Splurge with me by reading my two favorite genres.

Read a book with both individual MPG Mystery and MPG Romance or the combined MPG Romantic Suspense.

Option 4: My favorite animal is the turtle. My very first stuffed animal as a baby was a turtle and I still have it. I also now have quite the collection of turtle memorabilia, but haven't ever had a living turtle. On my wish list is visiting the Galapagos Islands so I can see the turtles in their native habitat.

Read a book with a single author whose initials can be found in GALAPAGOS ISLANDS. All initials count and letters may only be used as often as they appear.

Option 3 Genre Noted:

Option 1 does not work, there are only 4 words in the title and it needs at least five.

Option 3 will work since it has both MPG Mystery and MPG Romance

Hi! Can I get the genres verified for Option 3 on Blackmail and Bibingka? Romance is near the end and I don't want it to disappear :)

Please verify How Much For The Whole Night? for both MPG Mystery and Romance. They're not likely to disappear but I want to be certain.

That is verified for both MPG mystery & MPG Romance

Would this work for option 1?
Make Mine a Mystery II

After refreshing my memory on title rules, I believe that would be considered a 5 word title, so I will say it works.
