5.8 - Under the Fall Moon
Native American tribes kept track of time by observing the lunar months. Read a book with a word in the title or subtitle from the names used by various tribes to describe the fall season’s moons:corn, barley, harvest, hunter, travel, dying, beaver, blood, frost. Plurals, possessives, verb forms (as in harvested or dead), hyphenated words (blood-red) and forms that preserve the meaning of the word work.

Nicola | 1360 comments If on a Winter's Night a Traveler - would this work? It's not a plural, possesive or verb and I'm unsure as to whether it qualifies as a compound word. But it does preserve the meaning of the word.

It's not a compound word. However, I have changed the task so that any form that preserves the meaning of the word will work, so this book will work.

Celeste (celesteryr) | 381 comments Hello. I have this comic Vampire & Hunter by LALAax. While this story has a Goodreads profile, there is not a stated page numbers on the page as the "technical" first book is only released online (this is a webtoon comic). I have counted the number of established raw(unedited chinese) pages on the translator's website: http://www.now-do.com/works/640314315.... There is 133 pages, which would suffice the graphic novel requirement (100+) however I know SRC is picky so I wanted to check.
Thank you, CelesteR.

Collections of web comic strips must be 200 pages.

For any SRC use of something that only exists in e format, it must be approved in the approval thread of e-books only.

Does Vanilla Frosting work? Does it keep the word "intact"?

If you are asking about a specific book, it is best to link to that book. Judging by the words here, sounds as if it's talking about cake icing, which would not preserve the meaning of "frost" in the autumn. This task does not base the title on finding the word intact, but on preserving the meaning of the word in the task description.

the word is what matters, not the part of speech.
