May 2015 Challenge

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Well, it's that time of the month again. So, here is the May challenge. This is another nice easy one, which is good. I'm having work done on my house, and can't find ANYTHING right now, except my computer. :o) I think I've read a whopping 16 books in the last 2 months. For me, that's almost the same thing as not reading anything, since I usually read 30 to 40 books a month. But I'm hoping that once the guys get finished and I've put things back where they belong (after I FIND THEM, that is) that I'll be able to settle down and do some serious reading again. I'm going into withdrawal, I seriously am.

So, with no more ado--Here are your MAY contenders. . .

In honour of Mom’s and Grads….

3 books with a Mother as a character
3 books with a recent Grad as a character
2 books with a teacher as a character
2 books with siblings as characters

Ann, next year if we do this one can we maybe only do two books for Grads?
I can't speak for anyone else, but it is really hard to find Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy books about grads.
I notice a bunch of people are reading Some Girls Bite as she is a Grad students. But I have already read it, and as of the end of that book she was no longer in college, as Vampires were not allowed to be College student.
Anyhow, maybe the Teacher or even better the Siblings could be three books next time.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into moderating the group.
