If someone could brief it up for me, if possible?"In the first post Heather has put down 5 challenges and all you have to do is find a book that fits what she wants - example red cover or red in the title and then read that book in February. Some people pick out their books ahead of time and others will pick them out as they go. All in fun and do as many as you want.
