I think I will go with the first one. I have a book set to read and review called Love Undercover. I may do a few of the others, but I’ll have to wait and see!

Oooh I love the theme this week! I’m going to be doing number one because I have tons of books I have to read with couples on the cover

Oh wow…I can DEFINITELY read books in any/all of those categories. The one I’m planning on definitely reading at this point, thought, is “Third Grave Dead Ahead” by Darynda Jones (predominately red cover).

Ok so I am going to do option one with Dark Lover by J. R. Ward (Red cover, and in my opinion the couple on the cover is embracing and kissing. A vampire kiss!!! lol) and 2 &5 are going to be together cuz I am going to read No Proper Lady by Isabel Cooper. I had “given up” reading her books because I couldn’t find anymore from her, and No Proper Lady is set in 1888 (though the beginning starts in the future.) I may do the others if I can find some books that match them lol!!!

I will probably do the one with embracing people on it. Maybe throw a historical fiction/romance set in a important time period. But definitely option A.

I loved the February challenge and read a Sabrina Jeffries book: A Lady Never Surrenders as well as a novella by Kathy Carmichael, Your Magic Touch. I enjoyed both – for various reasons. Jeffries is one of my fave authors, but so is Carmichael now…the comedic premise in the novella cracked me up!

I did read a bunch of historical fiction for the month of February. I read Grey’s Lady and White Lace & Promises by Natasha Blackthorn. These books are set during the American Revolution. I hope to get the review written soon and posted. I read faster than I write the reviews.
