Question None of the books read during this challenge can be use twice in THIS challenge, correct?
i.e. if I read books for cold and ice I can't use the same book for both c's? Or a white covered book can't also be my book from the romance genre - correct?

Does the majority of the cover need to be the color? I used Winners for White but not seeing some of the others posted as being the color stated.
I probably should clarify that better. I think 50% is good, for the spring challenge I'll be sure to mention that :)
