by Neil Gaman Read 3/2
Good choices Judy, still deciding. I keep flipping back and forth between 3 books for my craft choice.

cna you be more detialed in what kinda books we can read cus im confused
Read Across America is a program that promotes reading in children and also that day is Dr. Seuss` birthday. So you can either choose a typical mystery for this choice or choose something that is not a mystery. It`s an open book choice for that. For National Craft month just choose a mystery involving some kind of craft (scrapbooking, beading, glass blowing, etc. I hope that make sense.
yah it does thanks!Im now in challange mode
The Winter Challange
The A-Z Challange

Gracling and casting spells sounds like good boks
Graceling was wonderful - it is also excellent on audio.

Cassa - clicking on any of the book covers or titles will take you to their page and you'll find a summary of the stories on that page.

I think I'm going to read
for my Craft book and
for my Read Across America.
OH YOUR Books sounD INTERESTING TELL TELL WHAT THEIR ABOUT

for Read Across America and

I'm reading
for Read Across America. Haven't decided yet for the craft theme.
I'm reading
for Read Across America(its a cozy mystery) and
for National Craft Month.
I changed my Read Across America book to In The Dead of Winter so I can finish my Winter challenge and take another state off of my A-Z Challenge.
I think I'll do A Killer Stitch for my craft mystery and A Cook in Time for my Read Across America book.
I'm in :)Read: 0/2
Read Across America: French Pressed by Cleo Coyle
National Craft Month: Wreath of Deception by Mary Ellen Hughes
found a book on the shelves I've been meaning to read for awhile that has the word America in it so thought that would be appropriate for Read Across America category
and for crafts
I am going to read A Discovery of Witches for my Read Across America book. It looks so good. I can't wait to start it. I think I will read The Quick and the Thread for my craft theme book, but I am not ready to commit.

I just finished

and I've liked it. I've to think about Read Across America. It's very probably I don't choose a book but I pick one in other genre I read this month.
@Grace - I'd love to know what you think of Voices of Dragons. I enjoyed the first two Kitty Norville books by her, and I think I have some of the others on my TBR.
@Nairabell-Sure. I have read the first 4 Kitty books and can't wait to read the rest. She is coming out with a lot of books this year so I am going to read them all. I'll let you know what I think after I finish. I just started the book, and it is already good.

Just bought Stitch Me Deadly for the craft read, and since the cover is about 1/3 green AND I bought it in March, it will meet the requirements for two other challenge books for me this month! (I foolishly obligated myself to about 300 books worth of challenges this year so these little economies are necessary.) my "read across America" will be On What Grounds.
@Melodie,yes, the Kitty Norville series is a great one. It is one of the best that I have read. I figured that if those bboks are so good that her other stuff would be great too.

Read Across America: Gunpowder Green by Laura Childs3/10/11****4 stars
North CarolinaNational Craft Month (scrapbooking, beading, painting, card making, etc)
Mod
Done with
for National Craft Month. For the Read Across America I'm starting
tonight. That will also take care of the author focus for this month AND help with my personal challenge to myself to try some authors I've collected but never read, with the idea being that if I'm not taken with the first book, I'll donate what I have by that author to the FOL and clear some shelf space.
Finished my second 2011 Theme Read. The books for March were:Read Across America: Walk Two Moonsby Sharon Creech which a wonderful YA book. I gave it ****.
National Craft Month:Wreath of Deceptionby Mary Ellen Hughes. This is the first book I've read by that author and it will not be the last. I gave it ****. I want to see how she develops the characters and works with the setting of Abbotsville.
Im guessing its not to late to get in on this because its still March! I would like to pick
for my Read Across America book. As for my crafty book... lets see what I find.
There you have it!
