Harlequin Books discussion

This year we will be reading the months in German!

For each month find books to spell out the month's name using the author's first or last name or the title. If you finish a month and have time for another challenge which may be the case in a short month like May, do a second (or third) challenge using either the hero's name or the heroine's.

Januar - January
Februar - February
März - March
April - April
Mai - May
Juni - June
Juli - July
August - August
September -September
Oktober - October
November - November
Dezember - December

Sorry I am late adding my list but it just shows you that you can join in at any point! You don't have to start at the beginning. I just had my books written down so it was easy for me too.~ Kim

:) I had fun reading these. So many good stories for February. It was hard to choose! ~ Kim

M- A Maverick's Road Home by Catherine Mann
A- An Alaskan Arrangement by Michelle Lindo-Rice
R- Lauri Robinson wrote Winning His Manhattan Heiress
Z- Zora Books Her Happy Ever After by Taj McCoy


I completely forgot to mention the rule about only needing the letter Z in either the title or the author's name to be a valid Z entry. After several years of running reading challenges based on the alphabet showed me how hard it is to find one that starts with the letter. However, I forgot to mention it, so I grabbed an older book off my shelf and read it again. :) ~ Happy reading, Kim

P.S. I did read a Z book that works for the anywhere rule, though. And, I feel it should get a mention. :)

Sorry for the delay in adding my list. It has been a crazy few months. Thank goodness they were short word months or I might have been in trouble.

Remember, you can jump in to the challenge at any month you want. You do not need to read the month every month, only when it fits in your schedule. I just find it helps me pick which book to read next. :) ~ Kim

I find it interesting to discover that some of our months share the same name. I assume they probably pronounce it differently, but I still find it fun. ~ Kim
