My new year’s resolution generator for @GuardianBooks. Let me know what you get!
ALT Title: Still haven't made a new year's resolution? Let us help you generate one! Image: a diagram which asks you to input “The year of your birth added to the number of pets in your home”, “The number of days in the current month plus your shoe size” and “The sum of the first three digits in your telephone number” which will seemingly make a random resolution but actually always* makes “support your local bookshop”. *Unless you have size 68 shoes or a negative number of pets or some other nonsense in which case you will get the silly outcome you deserve.
