25.6 Denise NC’s Task: Fall Days and Nights

Fall is my favorite time of year. During the day, the temperature is still relatively warm with little humidity and the leaves turn from green to brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges. At night, the sky is clear and the air is crisp as the nights start to cool down.

For this task, you will read two books.

Book A � Fall Days

Read a book that has one of the following words associated with a fall day in the title or subtitle, but not the series title - day, leaves (leaf), apple, autumn, crow, harvest, rake. Plurals, compounds, and variations of the words are okay as long as the original word remains intact.

OR

Read a book with a cover that is predominantly fall day colors � red, orange, or yellow.

Required: If you choose the cover option, you must include the cover or a link to the cover (preferred) in your post.

Book B � Fall Nights

Read a book that has one of the following words associated with a fall night in the title or subtitle, but not the series title - night, moon, star, dark, cool, clear, sleep. Plurals, compounds, and variations of the words are okay as long as the original word remains intact.

OR

Read a book with a cover that is predominantly fall night colors � black, dark blue, silver, or white.

Required: If you choose the cover option, you must include the cover or a link to the cover (preferred) in your post.

No - the word in your title is a variation on Start not Star which gets off task. Sorry.

Either of them will work for Part A, but Infinite Days won't work for Part B since the cover is peach / pink instead of white. Sorry.
