Badge 3, Book 2 of 24
Task: Taurus- Month - April
★★★★★The Enchanted April
Read a book with the month April in the title.

[Janice, Moderator]

Taurus is the month of April. Do you want me to put it there?

Also, could you change your numbering? Instead of Badge 38 of 60, could you do badge 2 of 24? It just makes it a bit easier for me.

Thanks for catching that. I changed it to Taurus and of course I can change the numbering of the books read. Have a great day and thanks for creating this terrific challenge. I'm reading books in genres that I don't really gravitate to and am enjoying them :)

[Janice, Moderator]

Thanks for adjusting your book.

I'm glad that you are enjoying the new genres. Reading books we normally wouldn't is what challenges are all about.

I read this book a couple of years ago. I bought it off of the for sale shelf at my library because I liked the cover. It is a crazy way to pick a book, I know, but I have been very lucky picking books that way, for some reason. It was a story I never would have read, except for that.

I pick books by their covers also. I also pick wine by their label design :)

[Cherie]

Funny, I love to look at wine labels but I'm not brave enough to try one. It seems like a lot of money to have to pour it out if I don't like it. (My family were a lot of alcoholics, but not wine drinkers. I never wanted to acquire a taste for alcohol.)

If I don't like a book, I can pass it on or donate it to the library.

I started it and have finished the first three chapters. It did not take long to remember things from the first story at all. I am looking forward to the "action".
