Option 1

B. Read a book with one of these words in the title or subtitle: bank, money, cash, dollar(s), wealth(y), bread, buck(s), coin(s), dough, gold, silver, rich(es), monopoly

C. The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903, when an American woman named Elizabeth (Lizzie) J. Magie Phillips created a game through which she hoped to be able to explain the single tax theory of Henry George. By 1933, a board game called Monopoly had been created which formed the basis of the game sold by Parker Brothers. By the 1970s, the idea that the game had been created solely by Charles Darrow had become popular folklore. John Waddington Ltd. is the licensed manufacturer of the game in the United Kingdom.

Can I use exactly the same option twice? Like reading a book from J. Fally and another from J.R. Ward?

This is proving to be difficult task for me and my books. =D

I have couple of options for word Silver but that would require me to buy those books in English as I only own translated versions. And as I'm always broke because of all the books I buy I try to limit myself.
