25.6 - Perletwo's task: A Stitch In Time Saves Nine

Spring always means resetting the clocks - again - for Daylight Savings Time.

This is a two-book task. Read one book for each option.
The total page count for the two books must be at least 500 pages.

1. Spring Forward: Read a book from the first 5 pages of Popular Futurism Books or Popular Near-Future Books
Required: State the list you used and the page where your book was found.

2. Fall Back: Read a book with a genre that contains "historical" or "history" intact on its main book page, e.g., Historical Romance, Microhistory, Military History. The genre can be stand-alone or embedded.

Will you please verify that Dark Matter is currently listed on page five of Popular Near-Future Books? It is second to last and I'm worried it may vanish. Thank you!

Ugh. I'm trying for this one for historical, but it keeps disappearing on me. Maybe I'll get lucky and you'll peek at it during a time when it's there???

I see it as well. Note that it's also a childrens book.

[Kim]

Dang! I already filled the task with something else! And yes, I know it's a childrens book. It meets the criteria in arbookfind. Hopefully I can find another spot for it. Otherwise, it can be my free choice book. I knew I should have waited!
