Dhes's BYOC
Sign me up! I am completely sure about my challenge but I think it will have something to do with diamonds since they are amazing in general and April's birthstone in particular.

WLLK BYOC April (Monthly)Duration: 1 April – 30 April 2012
The birthstone of April is diamonds and therefore I think of weddings and will read 4 romances on the theme:
"Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue."
Read: 3/4
✔ Something Old: Dreaming of You 5+ stars 4/8
Something New: About That Night
✔ Something Borrowed: Vision in White 4 stars 4/16
✔ Something Blue: Minx 4 stars 4/7

Oh, I've been meaning to read that one, Zumbagirl! Did you like it?
Ah! I just read your review, Z. It didn't do it for you, huh?
Lisa Kay wrote: "Ah! I just read your review, Z. It didn't do it for you, huh?"Lisa Kay - I really loved the other book I read by her,
, where the hero was totally gaga over the heroine and never let his personal issues interfere with his love for her. Sometimes it's bad to read books too close together b/c then I compare them. It is still good and if you like heroes who are also soldiers/warriors and kinda starchy, you may really like this
