Team Heathcliff
Hello! I just have a question to ask:
Now that we're in March, do books began on February count for March ?
Ashley (She Just Reads) wrote: "Anna wrote: "Hello! I just have a question to ask:

No, only books that were started March 1st or later will count for March."
wait! i thought as long as they are finished in march, it counts !!
I think someone asked that in the questions forum, and they said that it needed to start in feb but finish in march....
Okay, great, thank you!!I'm currently reading two books for school, but I think it will work for the challenge!
Ashley, your book
works for yellow 0 or Yellow 2; Sophie once you've posted your book
we can mark Red 2 as complete.

Hola!I'm finishing a book today (finally!), it's called Of Triton by Anna Banks
And I hope to finish Neverwhere by the 15th (it can be used for a reverse card ;D)
The march minichallenge has been published and I find it quite difficult =S
I'd like to read an Agatha Christie book for part 1.
Well that looks complicated. I'm sure it'll seem more achievable with a bit of time and concentration.I've been a little neglectful when it comes to updating GR recently so prepare for a bit of an avalanche of books...
