message 83: by Anne (Booklady) (new)

Anne  (Booklady) Molinarolo (wwwgoodreadscomAnneMolinarolo) | 754 comments Hi Beth. Congratulations on your task.

Was wondering about these:

Option B: Impressionism includes the play of light. Read a book that shows the sun or the moon on the cover.

Sun is visible over the 2nd V & O

The Survivor (Mitch Rapp, #14) by Kyle Mills by Kyle Mills


Option E: Impressionism derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise. For this task, read a book that has a title (title only, no subtitles) that contains the letters: M-O-N-E-T.

Mark Of ThE assassiN

**The Mark Of The Assassin by Daniel Silva

My main concern is the Sun for the book I chose for Opt B.

Thanks
