Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Over in a Flash - hopefully will be a reoccurring challenge.

I stole this idea (with permission) from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

Duration: March 1st through 31st, 2014.

Rules: Choose at least two (2) of the three (3) options below. (Meaning minimum of two books.) Color may be the predominant color of the book, or a “pop� of color that catches your eye. Holidays are explained. Items may be found on the cover, or the word found within the storyline.

Please feel free to post your book covers, dates read, and star ratings.

You may join at any time during the month. Feel free to do all three, or more, if you want.
