Duration: July 1st through July 31st.
Rules: Choose at least two (2) of the three (3) options below. (Meaning a minimum of two books.) Color may be the predominant color of the book, or a “pop” of color that catches your eye. Holidays are explained. Items may be found on the cover, or the word found within the storyline.
Please feel free to post your book covers, read dates, and star ratings.
You may join at any time during the month. Feel free to do all three, or even more, if you want.
Member Choosing: Jody has been a GoodReads member since May, 2013, and a participant of Happily Ever After Café since September, 2013. Her favourite genre of books are horror/supernatural (authors: Stephan King, Adam Nevill), comedy, and any books based in Cornwall or Devon. In her free time, besides reading, she enjoys doing crafts; mainly sewing and cake decorating. She’s hoping to start her own business making one off-bags, purses and such. In fact, the quilt picture below is one she made.
