Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Over in a Flash - hopefully will be a reoccurring challenge.

I stole this idea (with permission) from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

Over in a Flash ~ Cover Hunt & Theme Challenge ~

Duration: June 1st – June 30, 2012

Rules: Read 2 books with the following items found on their covers; choose 2 of the 3 options below. Be sure to post your book covers, dates read, and star ratings. If you want, you can do this at the end of the month after you reviewed your covers. Feel free to do all three if you want.

Member Choosing: This month's choices have been selected by Hayley! She has been a GoodReads member since August 2010 and participant of HEAC since November 2011. Besides Reading, she loves: Cooking, Photography, Scrapbooking, Learning, & Cleaning. (Yes, you read that right! I'll send her over after she’s done at my house.) When she isn’t spending time with her family and friends, she is relaxing or sleeping. Not much of that going on lately, as she getting married in the Fall! Congrats, Hayley!

Color: Yellow
Holiday Theme: Father's Day! Read a book that features a father, step-father, grandfather, or other father figure. It is National Safety Month! - Read a book where the main character's profession is in law enforcement (firefighter, police officer, etc) or cover that has a police car or fire truck on it.
Items: Cherries (June's Fruit), Roses (June's Flower), Pearls (June's Birthstone). Summer items: beaches, pools, sunsets/sunrises, etc. Or a book that has the word(s): Summer or Beach in the title.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments If you're looking for a "Rose" book (June's flower) or a bride book (we have a year-round Brides Challenge going on), Rose is the first in the Seven Brides series, it also has "father issues"...and are those pearls around her neck? Pretty unrealistic, that... And the Kindle version works for sunrise/sunset. Here is the link: $2.99 on Amazon.
