Challenge Rules:
*No poetry or cookbooks allowed.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the challenge dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy and you may be creative with your links to the themes.
Standard Rules Apply

*Jenny wants to read a variety of books to fit the theme

*Beth wants to read books with trolls
