10.8. Fall Back.

Frenchman's Creek by Daphne du Maurier 9/18/13

Go back in time, and read a novel with the genre historical fiction or history on its main page or a nonfiction book with the genre history on its main page. The book you read must be set in/about a time period before you were born.

This novel has the genre Historical Fiction on its main page. The story is set in 1670 and the book was published in 1941, when my parents were both 13 years old and had not yet met. Hence, it is definitely set before I was born!

15.5 -- All Fall Down

Depending on where you're from, you might call this season autumn or you might call it fall. Read a book in which ALL of the words in the title begin with the letters found in AUTUMN and/or FALL. Letters may be in any order and may be used more than once. Subtitles may be ignored.
Ex: The Last American Man, Life After Life, Up to Me, Face Time, Taken
