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....

Louise | 1282 comments Ashley, your book A Season for Fireflies by Rebecca Maizel works for yellow 0 or Yellow 2;
Sophie once you've posted your book A Mist of Prophecies (Roma Sub Rosa, #9) by Steven Saylor we can mark Red 2 as complete.

Sophie (drsophie) | 717 comments Sorry for the quiet over the last couple of days - spent last night in hospital with pyelonephritis (a kidney infection). Feeling pretty wiped out and rubbish, but should be on the mend soon. The upside to this is that it means more time sat still and reading!

I've been a little neglectful when it comes to updating GR recently so prepare for a bit of an avalanche of books...
