Just to be sure - this would qualify as a green cover, right?
Thanks! :) Strictly speaking it's more white than green so I had to ask...
Yes, but the green is the eye-catcher color. It'll work. :)
I don't suppose we can substitute books set in Ireland for a green cover? Just asking.

Jennifer, will these do for the March task (green cover)? The green is in the background.

Hehe, I have the same edition of The Girl who kicked the Hornet's nest and I also plan to read it next month. I think it will work, Zuzana, but lets wait for Jennifer. If not I'm gonna have to start looking for another green book...

I'm currently reading an 800-pages book with a green cover, but I'm only at 300-something and it's certain I won't be able to finish it today. I guess I can't use it for March's task since I started it in February, right?

To finish the challenge you'll have to complete all 12 months so sometime during the year you'll have to make up for January and February. I did offer a reduced page count for January to someone so I'll apply that as well. January 1500 pages. February is still 5 books.
