Over in a Flash - March, 2017

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Over in a Flash - hopefully will be a reoccurring challenge.

I stole this idea (with permission) from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

Over in a Flash ~ Cover Hunt & Theme Challenge ~

Duration: Read from March 1st through March 31st.

Rules: Read 2 books or more books with the following items found on their covers or in their storylines. Choose from options below. Be sure to post your book covers, dates read, and star ratings. If you want, you can do this at the end of the month after you reviewed your covers. Feel free to do all three, or more, if you want.

Member Choosing: Sally906 is from “Down Under” - AKA, Darwin, Australia. She has been a GoodReads member since February, 2011 and a participant of Happily Ever After Café since February, 2016. She says about herself:

“I am Australian and have been married for almost 40 years. We have two grownup daughters and three grandchildren. Other than reading I enjoy bush walking, playing computer games, knitting, crocheting, and occasionally drinking fine wine. When it comes to reading my reading choices are very eclectic - I am very much a mood reader - and not limited to any one genre. If I have a leaning at all it is to the light and fluffy side of books - real life is too grim to allow me to dwell on the realities of life. Overall I am a bookaholic – That means I am incapable of walking into a bookshop without buying something. Or reading a blog without writing a title and author down on my wish list. Or joining in book reading challenges which encourage me to buy or borrow more books!”

COLOR: Pink

HOLIDAY: (1) National Frozen Foods Day: {6th of March} Read a book with ice or snow on the cover. Or the main character goes somewhere cold. (2) International Working Women's Day: {8th of March} Read a book where the female main character works for a living. Or there is a woman on the cover. (3) St. Patrick’s Day: {(19th of March} Read a book set in Ireland. Or read a book where the cover is at least 50% Green. (4) National Alien Abductions Day: {20th of March} Read a book where someone is taken somewhere against their will. Or features aliens. Or read a book that is tagged Science Fiction. (5) National Doctor's Day: {March 30} - Read a book where the main character is a doctor. Or read a book where someone has to go to a hospital for any reason (even just visiting).

ITEMS: March’s Birthstone is now aquamarine; but until 1952 it was the Bloodstone. March’s Birth Flower is the Daffodil. Zodiac Signs are Aries and Pisces. Other items for the cover are lambs, bunnies, chicks, green leaves, eggs, baby, plants, blossom trees, umbrella, cats, water scene, spring scene.
