I've started reading Irish Fairy and Folk Tales

I have some catching up to do on the March challenges

Accidentally finished two:

6. Holes by Louis Sacher. Started this at the end of last month not knowing the relevance it would have to this month's challenges.
7. Irish Fairy and Folk Tales by Various. A very beautifully designed book with stories that were hit and miss for me. I think I was a little lost on the vernacular, but my fave was the last one that most like explains the name of one of the pubs I work for.

That's it for now, gonna try and see if I can squeeze one in this week.

Irish Fairy and Folk Tales
Holes

I've finished three:
1) The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig
2) The Deception of the Emerald Ring (set in Dublin).
7) The Deception of the Emerald Ring has a green cover (at least most of it is green).

I didn't finish any books for the March Take it or Leave It challenge. Is the April one going to be posted soon? I'd like to get started so I can read some this month. I did read 4 books, but none for any of the challenges.

Jennifer had to go out of town so I am unsure of the status of the April Take It or Leave It challenge. It might become a shortened version for this month, but we'll keep you posted.

It happens. I hope everything is okay. I'm on unexpected leave from the library because I had surgery and I'm not allowed to lift or push more than 10 pounds for a month. That puts a damper on pushing my cart around and lifting some of the nonfiction books. Thanks for replying, Joanna!

Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear about your surgery. I send good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

If no one minds, I thought I post some ideas for a mini April Take it or Leave it. Obviously I won't award points, but maybe I can give you some ideas.

1. Easter Bunny: Read a book with a rabbit main character or has "Rabbit" in the title.
2. April Showers: Read a book with "Rain" in the title, or a book that features a major storm/flood
3. Diamonds are Forever: April's birthstone is a diamond, so read a book with "Diamond" in the title.

Ooohhh.... those are great! Do you mind if I take them and create an April Take It or Leave It thread? Jennifer isn't able to do it this month with everything going on.
