30.5 - Teri-k's task: Good Old Summertime?
This is a TWO book task. Please choose two different options.

REQUIRED: State which options you chose when you post.

Option 2: For this task read a book whose cover has ice cream (popsicles or other frozen novelty desserts work, too), a firefly (1 must be lit up), or a baseball uniform, bat, ball, or mitt.(Not all of the object has to be shown, just enough to make it clear what it is. A person doesn't have to be wearing the uniform. A baseball cap alone is not considered a uniform.)

Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah


*** Kristin Hannah is a 카지노싸이트 Author***

Option 3: This final option lets you put on some classic rock, or other music of your choice, and read a classic genre book. Because I feel a classic really should be older than I am, it must have been originally published before 1956 as well as have the genre listing "classic(s)", which can be embedded.

Our Town: A Play in Three Acts by Thornton Wilder
Published in 1938
