20. Fall Books
🌰 Read a book published between September 22nd and December 21st of any year. Tell us the publication date.
-->BONUS: Published in 2025.

Does the book need to be published between Sep 22-Dec 21 2025 for to get the bonus point, or does any book published in 2025 count for the bonus?

Also for the genre task, is "Fiction" or "Adult/Adult Fiction" too generic to use?
