2.3 (Amber's Task) Book Clubs
My church book club starts back this month. My friend group book club is currently celebrating 15 years. I love being a part of book clubs because it helps me find interesting books that I might never have read otherwise.

Read two books recommended by a book club. This can be an IRL club, a Goodreads Club or an internet club such as Oprah's Book club, Reese's Book Club, or Read with Jenna. Tell us what club the suggest came from and where the club is located i.e. real life, Goodreads, etc.

2.4 (Amber's Task) Happy Fall Y'all
September 22 is the first day of Fall and I am ready for it. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I go to the beach a lot, there is pumpkin spice everything, the temperatures cool (at least some here in the South), the leaves change, and there are fun holidays. It just feels so clean to me when fall gets here and I just love the way it makes me feel.

1. Read a book set in the fall or where at least one of the author's initials is in FALL.

2. Read a book that looks like Fall from the cover even if it's not actually set in Fall. Your interpretation but if it's not obvious why let us know why you thought this looked like Fall (show cover).
