To help out, all you would need is a book with a Jewish brisk.

I feel like I read one once. I remember someone passing out. I don't know where i read it though.

Well, I've got a circumcision. Or, well, a discussion of being circumcised.
Maybe I should add the word book before the period on that first sentence...

for June - marriage, would a wedding count?

As long as they actually get married and she doesn't bolt.

January (oak tree) - I'll Be Damned
February (short story)- Infinite love 12/27
June (marraige) - Lucky Girl 12/27

Just found my last one.

I'm going to start making you find 2 for each of our one. =) Great job.
I've got a graph and I'm plotting the months that they all fit so I use each book to it's best advantage. I'm too OCD aren't I?

Thanks! Your planning sounds too much for me. I just finish a book and see where it will fit.

Great job Heather! Funny how you got most of them from 2 series.

Troubleshooters is a rather long series.

Yeah, but a good one.

I'm stuck waiting for Hot Pursuit. It's been 2 weeks and it's still not in.

That is nuts for an older book.

I'm reading a book where the characters go to a bar called The Bow and Arrow, would that work for December?

Well, by the way the challenge is written, it can actually count. It does say "where the book takes place."

One more question, for August it has someone named Leo, can that be the author's last name?

Umm...didn't intend that, but it does say "someone" named Leo. It doesn't specify first or last, or if it has to be a character so it can technically count.

Great job Tina!

This one is ending this month. Good luck!

Just my luck! August and December are the only ones I didn't finish and this morning I find two books that I have checked out from the library---One about relatives of Sherlock Holmes and Bram Stocker who are hanging out in Egypt and solving vampire crimes and the other that I've started this morning has a politician! Isn't that always just the way?

That is always how it goes! lol
