Fall/Autumn reading challenge

Part 1 - Colours

Autumn Colour cover
Set in Fall/Autumn
Part of the title
Autumn scene

Will post when I decide which!

Bonus
I have Autumn as I live in the UK! Here we all know what Fall is thanks to American TV & Films, never sure if it works the other way around or not? Love all the colours!

That's also why I spell colour like that - British English has lots of different spellings to American English, neither is wrong! eg

British English - Colour, grey
American English - Color, gray

Love the challenges! I'm in!
