I remember when this movie came out. It was great!Regarding option 3, can you please confirm the 2 names must both be on the linked list? If so, the example you list of Lisa Jackson wouldn't work because I cannot find Lisa on the list. But if we can use Lisa Jackson that would be great because I own several of her books. :-)

I originally had a different name--one that I checked against the list--but then switched to Lisa Jackson because she was familiar to me. That will teach me to improvise without checking...duh.
I will change the task description to reflect the first name I found. Great catch, Brooke! Thanks :-)

It’s rare when a sequel is better than the original, but Terminator 2 achieves that feat. It’s one of my favorite summer blockbusters of all time. It was released in 1991, yet the special effects still seem amazing today. Let’s pay tribute to this fun film with the following options. This is a two-book task; choose one book from each of two different options. REQUIRED: In your post, specify which options you used.
Option 1: The Terminator Becomes the Savior
In the original film, the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a Cyborg sent back from the future to kill Sarah Connor. In the sequel there is a new villain, the T-1000, and the original Terminator is now the good guy sent to protect John Connor, Sarah’s son.
To recognize Arnold’s role reversal, read a book from this list: Bad Boy Turned Good
REQUIRED: specify the page number of the list where the book appears.
Option 2: Liquid Metal
The T-1000 can change into any shape or form that it touches, provided the object is of similar mass. It can change from a pool of what looks like mercury into a person. The substance isn’t mercury though, it’s mimetic polyalloy.
Read a book with a title of three or more words (subtitles should be ignored) where the first letter of each word appears in MIMETIC POLYALLOY
Option 3: A First
This is my first time completing the SRC and the T-1000 was played by Robert Patrick, an actor in his first starring role.
Read a book by an author whose name is comprised of two first names (middle names should be ignored).
Use this list: Top Baby Names of the Decade
You can make up the name using two boys, two girls or a combination of one of each gender (e.g., Sarah Mason), but the names must match those on the list exactly.
REQUIRED: In your post, specify the number on the list of each of the two names.
Option 4: Don’t Mess With Mom
Linda Hamilton’s character, Sarah Connor, sure toughened up from the first movie. She was only 19 then, but in ten years she became a woman with quite a collection of weapons and an attitude to match.
Read a book by a female author with a MPG of action or science fiction. The genre may be stand alone or embedded.
