Comments:

If the task calls for an item on the cover, post the cover.

For tailgating - If you don't have a favorite, pick a team in your home state. If you live outside the US, you may pick a soccer/football team.

Pumpkin patch - MC has to visit the friend's home. Can be in the same town or a different town.

For international setting, books NOT set in the US or UK - The countries in the United Kingdom (UK) are England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Q&A:

I don't watch football, so I don't have a favorite team. However, college basketball season starts in November. May I substitute a college basketball team in place of a football team?
Colleges have the same mascot and the same colors for all of their sports teams. So you may pick your favorite college team regardless of which sport it is.

How do you make those cute little icons in your posts?

I’ve decided that I’m finished with this challenge since I still have to finish my December serial challenge. So I finished 12 out of 21. My books are listed above. I can’t wait for the next challenge. I don’t know about everybody else but I do enjoy reading the books and the challenge of seeing just how many I can accomplish but most of all I enjoy the search I do to find what books that are listed in my Good Reads library to match up with each task, that is fun to me. Thank you for the challenge and I look forward to the next one. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!!
