Challenge rules:
*No graphic novels, poetry or cookbooks allowed.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the theme dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy and you may be creative with your links to the themes.
Standard Rules Apply

Themes
May 1-7 Good
May 8-14 Evil
May 15-21 Curses
May 22-31 Magic

*Theme Start & End times are based on your time zone. So the Good theme will end on May 7th at midnight in the time zone that you live in.*
