*Read a book set in summer.
Chinese New Year
*Read a book with a red cover.
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel (although my library copy had faded to a really weird pink) Finished 3/2/17 Flawed masterpiece. 5★
*Read a book with some sort of bird (feathered kind) on the cover (bonus if the bird is a rooster!)
Waitangi Day
*Read a book written by a New Zealand author (bonus if it is one of the author member selections for this month).
The Cryptographer by Alice Wallis-Eton (at the end of my kindle edition there is a brief bio that says this author is a kiwi) Finished 13/2 A promising idea that wasn't well executed. Shame. 3★
*Read a book set in New Zealand.
Valentines Day
*Read a book from the Romance genre. The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet 25/02/17 Loved the You tube clips & love the book! It is more than just a novelisation of the clips. 4.5★
*Read a book where the main character receives a marriage proposal/gets engaged.
Lady Of Quality by Georgette Heyer finished 6/2/17 Probable rating 2.5★ GH's final completed book written when she was old, sick & probably sick of writing Regencies. Main fault for me is I don't like the heroine.

I was thinking of another romance I barely started. Wolf Hall I started in December. One challenging read. But if I can use Wolf Hall...

Would have loved to participate, but none of the books I read this month fit the bill no matter how much I squeezed them.
Oo-er! Just seen this. I've read heaps this month and I can fit some of them in to this! Is that cheating Lesley?February
