By the Numbers-March Edition

[⚜️XAR]

This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from March 1st to March 31st, 2017.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. If you can come up with additional ones that fit the theme of the month, let us all know! Here are the prompts:

Third book in a series
Author's Third Book
Third Book on your TBR pile
A book published in March 2017
A book published in 2003
The third book you purchase in this month
Read a book for the third time
The third book that is recommended to you
The third book you rated at or above 3 stars this month
