Wonderful, Poongothai! Welcome to the challenge.
Sure, Asya! Welcome to the challenge.

Has the word Girl in title
I'm new at this, but I think I going to try it out. With two books... I'll start the search today. :)
Ok here we go, please let me know if I did this wrong:#1 Theme Jewel Day A Taste of Pearl by Arianne Richmonde. I started to read this book today...
#2 Color Emerald Hero of My Heart: A Loveswept Historical Romance by Megan Frampton.
#3 Learn About Butterflies Day The Ice Queen byAlice Hoffman. Picking this book up tomorrow at the library.
I still don't know which two I'm going to pick, or if I'm going to do all three...
Neat, Michelle T! Looks great. Welcome to the challenge.
Would a book whose author is named Joey or Joanne count for National Joe Day? If either of these names works, you can count me in for 2.
