25.6 - Dakimel's Task: Cool Fall Fun

After the Texas summer, fall is finally a time for me to enjoy being active. Let's see what keeps me occupied in the cooler months.

Read 2 books, from 2 different options.
Required: Identify the options.
NOTE: Books with the genres "Sequential Art", "Comics", "Comic Book", and "Manga" may be used.

A. Exploring the bike paths in my city. For this option, read a book with a bicycle on the cover.
Required: Include the cover.

B. Walking the dog in the park. For this option, read a book with a dog on the cover.
Required: Include the cover.

C. Taking baked goods to all those back-to-school functions. For this option, read a book with a type of baked good that might be found in a bakery on the cover, e.g., cake, cookie, bagel, muffin, croissant, pie, bread.
Required: Include the cover.

D. Listening to audiobooks while I do all of the above. For this option, read a book written by an author who shares at least one name* with one of my favorite narrators:
Simon Vance
Amy Rubinate
Xe Sands
Katherine Kellgren
Karen White
Will Patton
Scott Brick
Cassandra Campbell
Davina Porter
Orlagh Cassidy
January LaVoy
Mark Bramhall
Patrick Lawlor
Rebecca Lowman

*No variations. Names may match in any position- Orlagh Cassidy = Cassidy Calloway. One qualifying author in a book by 2 co-authors works, but NOT a book with more contributors.

Optional: check out these amazing narrators as you pick your next audiobooks!
Required: State the narrator name.

That's enough of the bicycle to qualify

No, that won't work - it's not a baked good.
