Nope. each line is a category- so try to read books that are
-writen by a female, or has a red cover, or starts with "f", etc.

you can pick and choose as many of the categories as you wish. It's just a fun challenge!

As you finish a category, you can cross it out and list the book that you'd read that completes that category. Hope this helps! =)

I'm in!

I'm reading a book written by a woman this month - Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood - given its size, I think that's all I'll manage off the list this month! :)

A book with a red or pink cover
A book about love - The Silver Linings Playbook
A romance novel
A book over 500 pages
A book written by a female - The Enchanted
A book with white writing (not background) - The Girl with All the Gifts
A book that starts with "F" - The Farm
A book from a lover (or friend!)

The two books by Marguerite Henry were fun to read especially so since I do like horses.
However, now I'm serious about this month's challenge: "Pride and Prejudice." It's got a pink cover, is a love story, a romance and was written by a woman.
Gardening season is beginning, kids are due next month so it's nice to fit into more than one category since reading time will soon shrink for the summer.

Here are the Challenges I have chosen to read for this month.




✓ A romance novel- One Plus One 2/18/15
✓ A book written by a female- The Nightingale 2/6/15
✓ A book with white writing (not background)- Dollbaby 2/15/15
✓ A book that starts with "F"- First Frost 2/3/15
✓ A book from a lover (or friend!)- Big Little Lies 2/10/15

I just finished "Pride and Prejudice" which is definitely a February romance type novel. The writing is superb. It overcomes a mostly dull plot and makes the book an interesting read.

Update Message # 21 - I won't get a book that is 500+ pages read this month, so I'm done ...
