3. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
What a fun challenge! Going to brain storm on this one. I have a couple of ideas for some box sets so I'm just going to make a notation here and then I'll think about which books to add later.1. Love Is In The Air
- books about love and romance (a theme? maybe)
2. What's in my Beach Tote?
- books that I'd read on a beach, preferably with key words in the title, such as: summer, beach, sand(y), sun, hot, june, july, august, seashells, shore.
3. Sisters Are Doin' it For Themselves
- March is Women's History Month. Read 3 or 4 non-fiction books about women who have made history; strong, independent women; women who played a part in women's rights/suffrage, etc.
4. Well, That's a Mystery
- 4 mysteries throughout the year (will think about a common theme later)
5. Something food and drink related.
6. Cozy Comfort for a Cold Winter's Day.
