Option 1 is either reading books by authors over the age of 40, no spell it out, no scavenger hunt...just reading books that are all written by authors who over 40 OR spelling out the name of an author(s) who is over the age of 40. You could also mix up this option. Read some books with over 40 authors, plus do a spell it out.
Want it all is finding a scavenger hunt word in books you read, but you have to find at least one word for every letter.
Make sense?
