4. Traveling With Pomegranates: A Mother-Daughter Story by Ann Kidd Taylorand Sue Monk Kidd--for the color of the fruit
Month 3: Read Your Sign - Capricorn [Note: Because of time constraints, my love of short stories, and my desire to read more sci-fi ("star sign," get it), I will be using my own adaptations this month. Maybe I'd feel differently if I were a Libra.

4. The Boy in the Earth Started this as a mystery (it would fill a Y) but after reading, the mystery is why was it shelved as such. So I’m adding it up here
5. I Am a Cat: I
Month 6, 7, 8: I was going to mix the month's around but maybe I'll do the summer months as a group and enter them as they fall. I'm not sure I want a solid month of mysteries right now, what with other challenges, BOMs, beach books, etc.
