March's Spell the Month Challenge � Duration March 1st-31st.

March gives us so many spelling possibilities! Leprechauns, flowers, Spring... the options are endless! As with all our Spell the Month challenges, you get to choose what March means to you!

Example � March 2nd is Dr. Seuss' birthday, so maybe you'd like to honor him by spelling his name, the title of a book written by him or a character from one of his books that you're fond of.

Choose any word describing what March means to you, and it will work!

The only restriction to this challenge is that you can't begin reading before March 1st.

Please post your status updates like this: 3/4 or 5/10, etc. It helps me more quickly update your stats in the participants thread.

I'm in, Dhes! I don't yet know what I'll spell. But something. � Leprechaun sounds fun. We'll see.

I'm in too!! I want to use the words St. Patrick..

This is the first one I'm trying - - and my reading time is limited, but I'm in, if it's okay...I understand that the letters can represent anything - characters, authors, book titles, places, etc...but do they all have to be from different books? Because my word/s would be either Celtic, Irish or both...I'm kind of stoked. :)

I'm in also, just need to think what I want to spell. Thanks for doing these Dhes.

I'm in....finishing up my last February book.

I'm in. :)

I would like to join in.

I'm in.

I'll be going with the words 'It's Warmer' for this challenge.

Okay - I'm spelling "CELTIC." I love that these challenges are "not too challenging..." I replaced The Help (which I WILL read, just not this month) with The Dark Highlander - - I've realized that I need a good balance btwn Kindle and physical books...physical books are easier to read in the sun.

E - Suzanne Enoch, The Black Duke's Prize, DONE 3.24 4*
L - Lane, MacKayla - Shadowfever, Karen Marie Moning DONE 3.31

Have you every tried anything by Emma Wildes? I liked some of hers. Especially and (haven't read her earlier works).

Have you listened to any of Karen Marie Moning's FEVER series? The first in the series is Darkfever. EVERYONE to whom I've recommended this series has LOVED it - - even my husband, who reads maybe 6 books a year...It's an urban fantasy that starts with a 24 y.o. Southern belle who goes to Ireland to learn about her sister's murder. It's filled with intrigue, action, an elusive guardian, Fae Prince and so much more. I've heard that the audio is amazing, although I haven't heard it myself. Try it - - I think you'll find it addictive. I'm not a big paranormal/UF reader, but this was amazing...

Cristina - - I haven't replied to you yet...THANK YOU for the suggestions...good to know for the next time I need an E read!

HAPPY MARCH 1 and HAPPY READING, EVERYBODY!!

Thanks Trish! I am to see if I can order the audio from my library!

Elise wrote: "Love the pictures, so cute!"

Glad you like them, Elise! I had fun looking for them while I listened to an audiobook. Unfortunately, the popular ones "expire" - Drat! But, I replaced one with The Quiet Man DVD. �

Aw, that's a good movie! I remember watching it with my grandpa. :)

I love The Quiet Man!!!

Okay girls... I think I have everyone listed, and listed correctly. Please, if I've got something wrong, let me know!!

Haha...so does my mom! I grew up watching John Wayne or Clint Eastwood movies on the weekends because my parents are huge fans.

My grandmother has an autographed photo of JW because my grand aunt, grandma's sister, knew a woman who was a masseuse that John Wayne went to, and she was able to get his autograph. It's made out to Janie.
