Sorry, I had to go find where this had been backed up after my computer put itself into the ICU. But, as of right now, I've found everything, so I'm hoping there will be no more upsets with it. And, having said that--here it is. Your March Challenge

March

1) This is a month with upsets in it, so….Read 3 books where the weather plays a significant role in the story—a hurricane is happening, snowstorm, tornadoes etc.
2) Beware the Ides of March—3 books where a character is Italian, a killer, or is set in Italy
3) In honour of the Vernal Equinox (or the Autumnal Equinox, depending on where you live) read 2 books where one of the main characters has a tie to the Ocean/water—a sailor, Navy SEAL, Selkie, mermaid, fisherman etc.
4) And, finally, to honour Mars, the God of War---read 2 books where one of the characters is in the Army, Air Force or Marines. (No sailors for this one, since we have them listed above in #3)
