Oh my Goodness, Brandilyn, you are a challenge wizard! I haven't even started my first one yet.
I actually had 2 books I could use for item finished and am 10% of the way through another one... I read a lot, plus I always try to finish thus one first..
I mean first among my monthly challenges, not first among the participants. I do way too many challenges. I am going to have to cut back next year.

Ok I hope I finally manage to post this on my third attempt!
The challenge already began ..."
I've finished one of mine- Lauren Dane's "laid Bare".
I've almost finished the first book "Take Two: A Hollywood Romance" no fewer than FOUR times now. I cannot believe the computer issues I've had the last little while!
So, with great determination, onto "Take Two" for my 'take five'!

Hi! I am new to this challenge so I am not sure if I have got it right. We are supposed to choose at least two books that fit at least one of the categories - is that right? Could I choose two books that meet the SAME thing? Like 2 books with snow on the cover??I have already read one book this month that fits this challenge - but maybe that does not count since I did not sign up ahead of time??
Let me know! :)
The one I have already read is
This would count for Item: Snow or Theme: Christmas.One I would like to read is;
This would fit for Item: Snow (on the mountain tops) or for theme: Christmas.
Have I got it right? This is fun! :)
I'm in!!!For now, I just choose for 3 books.
Color : Silver
Items : Shoes
Items : christmas tree

Yes, you may do it either way. Choose books to fit one or all of the categories you desire. Or choose multiple books that all work for something like "snow."
Woohoo! Congrats, Chris!!Welcome, Hanita!

I believe Still Waters is worth a dollar--especially if you would like to learn more about the south in the 50's i.e. The Help
Both of my parents were Southerners in the 50's who came to Indiana and struggled to fit in. Still Waters
