January Reading Challenge #1 ~ Over in a Flash ~

Yep I am still doing all those awesome reading challenges.  With the new year, you will actually see some new ones and starting over with some old ones.  One I love doing every month is the Over in a Flash challenge from the Happily Ever After Cafe group on Good reads.

It is a quick challenge, you need only read 2 books (though I usually do all 3):

Here are the rules (these are taken directly from the HEA Cafe)

Rules: Read 2 books with the following items found on their covers; choose 2 of the 3 options below. Be sure to post your book covers, dates read, and star ratings. If you want, you can do this at the end of the month after you reviewed your covers. Feel free to do all three, or more, if you want.

COLOR: White...as in Winter White.

HOLIDAY: (1) New Year’s Day - Out with the old and in with the new. Read a new author, new series to you or a new release (released in the last year). (2) Epiphany Day 1/6/13 - Read a book with any type of religious character or a cult of some sort. A character that has some type of revelation or insight. (3) Martin Luther King Jr. - Birthday 1/21/13. - Read a book with a plot centered around dreams. Read a book with one of the following words in the title: dream, peace, freedom or believe.

ITEMS: January’s Birthstone is garnet. Flower is carnation. Goat and Water bearer for zodiac. Other items snow/ice, rain/lighting, cabin, skis or skiing, fire, scarfs, beanie, gloves/mittens, boots, jacket, blanket, Northern lights, fireworks, celebration (Australia Day), President, King, Queen, e.g. for Inauguration Day.
