4) A book with a tree on the cover
5) A book with a parcel on the cover
6) A book being released in December (any year :))

(This round only has 6 books (medium parcel) So feel free to repeat some of the above, or take something from Cat 2)

For the cover colors, the cover does not have to be completely, entirely THAT color, just a splash or a dash

Cat 2

This round is made up from using words as the challenge EG:

To make up the words, you can use author, book or character names

---------------------------------------------------

Please feel free to mix and match if your numbers don't add up to your goal (EG something from Cat 1 & 2)

They can also be any genre you like!

This is not a race, only a game, so don't rush your reads, if you are not meeting the goal you have set for yourself. You can always lower the goal.

Question.. For the spell outs, can we use character and authors first/last initial or just the book title??

Question, for the covers does the entire cover have to be red or white? or can there be white on it?

Also can the being relased in December, can it be any book the has been released in December, or does it have to be December 2011?

Delilah - Use whatever to make the word up :)

Tammy

1) The cover doesn't have to be ALL of that color, as for mine I am using ones with a bit on :)

2) December any year :)

Already, Kay? Crikey!

I have a question: Do I have to read them in the order I have them listed? Because I already started Touch of Frost. :o)

I haven't. Well one of them was a short story and one of them was so amazing I couldn't put it down. I kinda cheated and started one of them yesterday tho. I finished it today so it counts =P

Ah, that's cool then. :o)

=)

Not at all J :)

Thanks. I'm already started then. :o)

The cover of Touch is beautiful, but I think I have seen it on another book, but I can't be sure. How was it?

Tammy, which one they are both called Touch LOL
The one with the girl on? It wasn't the best book. The lead character irritated me a lot lol

LOL, I did not notice that until now. yeah the one with the girl on it. sorry

Finished this morning. Onto my next book. :o)
