5.6 - An Apple a Day
Read a book with the word apple or a word from an apple variety in the title. Plural and possessive forms of the words can be used, but no other variations.

Here's a list of apple varieties:

Will any word from an apple name work? For example, can I read any book with the word "Lady" in the title if I use "Pink Lady" as my apple variety?

you certainly can. Just be sure you include the name of the variety in your post so DLMRose doesn't have to hunt it down.

What about little words like "of"?

Any word that's listed as a separate word in the name of the variety will work.

Unfortunately, the Granny stuff is a series name so it won't work.

Okay, thanks!

I took the list of apples and made a spreadsheet of some of the more common words - it's easier for me to find books when I can look at a list this way. So, I figured I would post it for anyone else who might benefit from it.

You can view it here. The first tab has a list of words alphabetically and the second page has the complete list of varieties so you can search that tab so you know what variety you used when you post.

Thank you Vicky!

Sandy, just wanted to confirm: The apple variety is: King of the Pippins Apple. So I can use any book with 'the' in the title?

I was going to ask If I can use The Bridge of San Luis Rey because I saw a variety called San Rosé. I found it on this blog: http://adamapples.blogspot.com/2011/0... but it's not on the list you provided. I see that "of" can be used so perhaps the book works either way.

In post 20, Vi mentioned the variety King of the Pippins Apple - so that covers you for "of."
