Great, Ora! Welcome to the challenge.
Thank you, Lisa Kay! You're allllllll kinds of awesomeness!
I am in! I love Valentine's Day. I don't approach it as a romantic with a love interest, though (I'm married but we don't do much for Valentine's Day anymore but sometimes it's nice to do something fun for or with our son that day). I just love the chocolates that abound, I love seeing hearts in many sizes on products that come out at this time of year, I love the little colorful heart-shaped candies and I love all the various shades of red on everything, especially if it's a lighter shade, such as the pinks. I don't even like the color red in general, but when February comes around, I get so excited to see it everywhere. With that in mind, I'm going to try to read books that follow this theme:
Chocolate + Hearts x Red = Love(Valentine's Day)
Duration: February 1 - 28

I had it lined up for January, but I haven't gotten the audio from the library yet. I've two people ahead of me. Keeping my fingers crossed I get it in time for February.

What does February mean to you? Hearts, candy, flowers, candle-lit dinners, romantic movies?
Rules: Whatever February means to you, you may use it - as in read it - for this challenge! Pick several all one theme or try several. Another option is the ever popular spell out a word or phrase. You decide.
To qualify, books can not be started before February 1st, and must be finished no later than February 28th.
I’m hosting this month’s challenge. To make it easier on me, please update your progress at the top of your new posts so I can easily find them and update them under the participants’ list.
