February 2013's Build Your Own Challenge

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

It's time for February's Build Your Own Challenge!

Duration: February 1-28

It's pretty easy to challenge yourself here in the Not Too Challenging Challenges. Here's how it works:

If a book reminds you of February, in any way, it counts.

Is the cover pink like a rose? It counts.
Is the story sweet like candy? It counts.
Is it about civil rights? It counts (Martin Luther King Day.)
Was it published in February? It counts.
There are 28 days in February so you'll read 28 books, it counts.

You can also build a Spell it Out! Challenge:

Spell any word that reminds you of February.

H - Heath, Lorraine, Texas Destiny
E
A - At Peace , Kristen Ashley
R
T - Tessa Dare, One Dance with a Duke

If it reminds YOU of February, it counts!
