DHASG March Challenge
Introduction: March is the first month of spring and the last month of winter. It's also the month of Spring Break. And there's St. Patrick's Day. Lots of cool things about March. Hope you find March to be a fun month!
Rules:
1. Any DHASG member can participate in the challenge.
2. Books must be read between March 1st and March 31st.
3. A book may only be used once in the challenge.
4. Please sign up and list your stats or link to the completed stats listing when you finish the challenge.
5. In your stats, include book title, author, date read, and how it represents the specific part of the challenge.
6. Enjoy and happy reading.

2. Three Leaf Clover: Read 5-8 books.
3. Third Place: Read 3-4 books.
Categories:
1. Pot of Gold: In honor of St. Patrick's Day on March 17th, read a book that brings to mind the old folklore about Leprechauns and their pots of gold. Read a book that represents your personal pot of gold. In other words, it's a 4 or 5 star read.
2.Erin Go Bragh: This is translated as expressing allegiance to Ireland. In honor of Irish American Month, read a book that represents Irish heritage and culture. You could read a book that has green, white or orange* (or all three) on the cover, a book set in Ireland, or with characters of Irish descent. You could even read a book written by an author with an Irish first or last name.
3.Herstory: March is Women's History Month. Read a book with a woman who is making history of her own, a biography about a prominent or lesser known woman who made history, or a historical romance that has a lead woman character. Here are some tidbits about Woman's History Month: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/20...
4.Mars: The Month of March is named after the Roman god Mars, the god of war. You can read a book that represents traits of Mars, such as being Roman, being a strong warrior, or even having godlike strengths. It's up to you.
5.Old Stuff is Good Stuff: March 2nd is Old Stuff Day. The purpose of the day is to break from the old routine you have. Let's celebrate by reading a book that is about old stuff. You could read a history book, a historical fiction novel, a book that was originally published or written before 1980, or a book that deals with antiquity in some other way. Or you could avoid the norm and read a book that you wouldn't normally read.
6.Texas Independence Day: March 2nd is Texas Independence Day, the day that Texans celebrate the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico and created the Republic of Texas. Texans still like to think of themselves as a separate Republic. Let's celebrate by celebrating Texas. Read a book set in Texas, written by a Texan or featuring a prominent character who is from Texas.
7.I Want You to be Happy!: March 3rd is a day to focus on being unselfish. Caring for others and wishing them happy. Read a book that features this sentiment in some way.
8.Out like a Lamb: It's still winter, sort of. Let's enjoy winter a little longer by reading a book that features a winter setting.
9.3.14: March 14th is National Pi Day. It stands for Pi, the mathematical concept presented by π, begins with 3.14 , and never ends. Read a book that presents Pi. It could be about science or math. It could have a title that has the a title that spells out the letters Pi, or is written by someone's whose first and last name start with P and i. If you can think of another way to represent this, let us know.
10.Dumbstruck Day: March 15th is this day, and it represents that feeling of being dumbstruck which is defined as surprised or shocked to the degree of loss of speech. Read a book that leaves you dumbstruck, has a truly shocking plot twist, or takes you by surprise. Or your could read a book where a character is dumbstruck by some event.
11.Flower Garden Day: For Plant a Flower Day, March 12, let's plant metaphorical flowers by reading a book that either has a flower on its cover, is written by someone whose name is a flower, or has a prominent character with a flower name. Here is a list of flowers to work with: http://www.namesofflowers.net/names-o...
12.National Goof Off Day: March 22nd is National Goof Off Day. Take this day to take it easy and enjoy yourself, you can count any book that you read on this day.

Way to go, Ladies!I'm working on the March challenge as we speak.
I posted this thread because I'm currently reading Shadow Rider. The hero in his own words has f*cked a lot of women but he didn't care about any of them. He couldn't care. I admit that this is a turnoff for me. What I did like was that he was sorry that it caused the heroine pain to be reminded of his promiscuous past.I like that, because the hero is nearly constantly reminded of this because of the circles he travels in. She encounters a lot of his ex sex partners.
I read a lot of historical romances, and this is rather bothersome to me when the hero is Lord Rake of Rakenstock and he's slept with many of the women in the ton. I think that would be mega awkward to be around my man's ex-lovers all the time. In theory, the past is the past, but when you are constantly reminded, it makes it hard to be blase' about it.
Okay, so let's talk about the common trope: the hero who's been around and then some.How do you like it handled?
What don't you like?
Given a choice would you take or leave the slamhound hero?
Yes, you sign up here and create a post for your stats. You can update it and link to it when done. Welcome!
Which hero got your 2017 off to a good start. Tell us why!
Welcome, Kelly. Glad to have you! I love your why reason. That makes me sigh because I'm a sap. :)

Working on the February challenge now!
Way to go, Netanella! I am having a huge issue with reading since November. I hope that changes.
Best wishes to you both in school. You can do it!
I haven't been able to do much reading lately with everything going on. I miss being able to get lost in a book.
