25.2 JennRenee's Task: Happy Fall Y'all

Fall is favorite time of year. The weather is good (most of the time, it is still Texas), fun is to be had, good food happens. It's all around a great time.
This is a two book task. Pick one option and read book A and book B.

Authors initials found in COOL BREEZE. Letters may be used as many times as they appear middle initials may be ignored.

Book B: Beautiful colors
Read a book that with 80% any combination of any of these colors: Red, orange, yellow, brown, and green according to Tineye
Required: Post the Cover

Option 2: Holiday Happiness
Great holidays happen in the Fall. Halloween and Thanksgiving are both great days to spend time with friends and family. (and yummy treats)

Book A Happy Halloween
Read a book with a witches hat, black cat, skull/bones, tombstone or jack-o-lantern on the cover.
Required: Post the Cover

Book B: Family, Friends, and Feasts

Option 3: Fall Fun
Every year I look forward to two Fall events, my gaming retreat in Florida and the October Readathon.

Book A: Board Gaming in Florida
Read a book that is set at least 50% in Florida
Required: If setting is not evident from main page provide reference

Book B: Lots O' Books
Read a book with an MPG Books About Books

yes

no

Does this work for
Book A Happy Halloween
Read a book with a witches hat, black cat, skull/bones, tombstone or jack-o-lantern on the cover.

I think there's a little skull above her crown. I'm not not sure if that's a skeleton midway down on the left side.

THanks

I see the skulls and the bones. this works.

For Option 3, Book B, would you accept an MPG of Books About Books?

is this OK as a witches hat? It's a wizard hat.

sorry needs to be an actual classic witches hat.

Can you lock in Yellowface as having the genre "Books About Books"? Thanks!!!

Re-asking my question above (message 6), is bookS about books okay as the MPG or does it need to be book about books exactly as written in the task?

It's most likely a typo that got missed while editing the task, Books About Books seems to be the preferred GR tag. If I can figure out how to fix it on mobile I'll get that changed - typing on this tablet keyboard is awful!

Thanks so much!

Hi there! Clarifying question for 2A please. When you say skull/bones, are we talking the classic skull and bones, like a pirate flag? Do we need both, or will either a skull OR bones work? I'm specifically looking at Masters of Death. Thanks!

"Read a book that with 80% any combination of any of these colors: Red, orange, yellow, brown, and green according to Tineye"

Can I just check that you mean 'at least' 80% and not 'exactly' or even something else entirely?

I was fairly certain it would be but felt it was better to check. Many thanks.

If book has multiple authors, can we use more than one author for 3Fs task?
Book I'm asking about is Obsidio by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - last names together would have 3Fs
