jingles It's almost that time again. Time to think about a new month and a new challenge!

What does March mean in your corner of the world? The celebration of St. Patrick's Day? The start of Spring? Perhaps it's the flowers in bloom.

Whatever the Month of March means to you, you can use that to build your own challenge. Make it as simple or as complex as you like.

Books must be started on or after March 1st to qualify. The challenge starts on March 1st and ends March 31, 2014.

Happy challenge reading!

jingles Great progress, LK and BJ. I've only gotten a few of mine done. I may have taken on more than I can handle for March. Lol

BJ, I just finished a Nora Roberts book this morning that I loved -- Northern Lights. Have you read it?
Northern Lights by Nora Roberts


message 18: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 4782 comments No, I haven't, jingles. Love the Alaskan setting, though.


message 19: by jingles (new)

jingles I listened to the audio, LK, and the story was great! If I remember correctly, you listen to audio, right?


message 20: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 4782 comments Yes, I do. I've never heard that narrator before, though. I added it to my wishlist.


message 21: by jingles (new)

jingles I had a little trouble with some if the voices he does--one in particular, so be sure to listen to a sample first. I downloaded it from the library through Overdrive. If that's an option for you, it would be even better.


message 22: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 4782 comments No, not available at any nearby library I checked. Drat!

√ R = Roberts, Nora: Dual Image - 3.08
√ C = Copycat Killing by Sofie Kelly - 3.06
H = Heath, Lorraine: Lord of Wicked Intentions

Jingles, I listened to Northern Lights a couple of years ago, and liked it but didn't love it. Can't remember now why I didn't love it, since Nora usually does it for me - loved The Witness so much when I read it that I strongly recommended it to my hubby, who does mostly audiobooks, so we bought the audio version and we both listened to it - it was even better the second time.
