Challenge rules:
*No graphic novels, poetry or cookbooks allowed.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the theme dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy.
Standard Rules Apply

Themes
February 1-7 Chocolates & Champagne
February 8-14 Hearts & Kisses
February 15-21 Love
February 22-28 Soulmates

*Theme Start & End times are based on your time zone. So the Chocolates & Champagne theme will end on February 7th at midnight in the time zone that you live in.*
