Dhes's BYOC

Sign me up! I am completely sure about my challenge but I think it will have something to do with diamonds since they are amazing in general and April's birthstone in particular.

WLLK BYOC April (Monthly)
Duration: 1 April � 30 April 2012

The birthstone of April is diamonds and therefore I think of weddings and will read 4 romances on the theme:

"Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue."

� Something Old: Dreaming of You 5+ stars 4/8
Something New: About That Night
� Something Borrowed: Vision in White 4 stars 4/16

Love your pictures, Susanne! �

Dhes, my only problem is I have sitting on my desk waiting to be read! Guess that doesn't count for light and happy

Tulips are my favorite flowers! I am hoping to read 6 books this month--busy time at work, college visits and a dog show-- :)

Zumbagirl, do you HAVE to read it this month?

Haha! Well, I guess not. I've had it from the library for awhile and just want to return it already.

I can totally understand that!!!

I am in for April for 10 books!

Oh, I've been meaning to read that one, Zumbagirl! Did you like it?

Ah! I just read your review, Z. It didn't do it for you, huh?

Lisa Kay wrote: "Ah! I just read your review, Z. It didn't do it for you, huh?"

Lisa Kay - I really loved the other book I read by her, , where the hero was totally gaga over the heroine and never let his personal issues interfere with his love for her. Sometimes it's bad to read books too close together b/c then I compare them. It is still good and if you like heroes who are also soldiers/warriors and kinda starchy, you may really like this
