What about: "Above us only sky? - would that be okay?

Cynthia wrote: "What about: "Above us only sky? - would that be okay?"

Hi, Cynthia. DLMRose (the task creator) is away, but in her absence I can tell you that the word "above" in a title will work for this task. However, I'd need you to link to a specific book to tell you if the book works for the challenge in general. There are several on GRs with the title "Above Us Only Sky." To link to a book, use the add book/author link above the comment box.
