Valorie wrote: "I think I'm going to try or for the flower theme and for my pink cover book."I really like the Tattoo Shop mysteries and the covers are awesome.
Think I'll go with
and
as they are both already on my TBR list :)
I'm going to do
for the flower and
for pink. I'll probably finish them early in the mohth since we are going to leave mid-Feb for our winter road trip and I never have time to read then. Though I usually buy tons of books on these trips and have to toss everything aside to read them when I get back. LOL
Thanks Sherrie and Melodie! I'm glad to hear it's a good series. It will knock another state off my 50 states challenge too! I seem to keep reading books from states I already have marked off!
Mod
I've chosen Slay It With Flowers by Kate Collins for Flowers and You May Now Kill the Bride by Deborah Donnelly for pink/red.
I think I'll read
for the flower part of the theme and The Secret Adversaryby Agatha Christie. This edition of Christie's has a bright red heart on the cover and, I could get it on my kindle for only $0.80! This is going to be fun.
Mod
. I've found it for 2.99$ for my reader and it has a nice pink cover ;)
Can I count A Hoe Lot of Trouble
by Heather Webber as flowers. She is a landscaper so I guess that is really more gardening. I have just been dying to read it. What do you think??

I don't know if the Yellow Rose series by Leann Sweeney complies with the Flowers theme. If so, I plan to read
for the Flowers part and
for the pink/red cover theme.
The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree
and Spying in High Heels
for the pink theme (good enough with half and half?)

I have just been dyi..."Rats, there are too many holds on Hoe Lot of Trouble. I think Heather Webber is getting more popular out here. Anyway, I am changing to Mum's the Word
for flowers and Bone Appetit
for the pink/red cover.
For February and the Pink/red cover I am going to read
by Karen E Olson

Jan wrote: "Can I count A Hoe Lot of Trouble by Heather Webber as flowers. She is a landscaper so I guess that is really more gardening. I have just been dying to read i..."Really great book! I loved it! That's a bummer you cant get it from your library :(
I'm going to go with
for the flower choice and
for the pink cover (it's more hot pink than pastel, at least on my monitor - hope that's OK).
Karen wrote: "I'm going to go with for the flower choice and for the pink cover (it's more hot pink than pastel, at least on my monitor ..."Any shade of pink is fine.
I have just ordered
for the Flowers themeFor the Pink cover
I'm in. I'm going to read:1. Flowers: Mum's the Word by Kate Collins
2. Pink cover: This Pen For Hire by Laura Levine

Chris wrote: "I'm going to read the featured author book and kill two birds with one stone since I already have this one and don't see any other flower books on my shelves...."I was wondering if Wreath of Deception would count as a flower book - okay, I'll go with that too! And for red/pink I'll do
Edit 2/24
Finished Wreath of Deception; February challenge is complete!
Done with this one 2/23

I'm done with my pink book. Not as cozy as I expected, but great anyway :)Read: 1/2

Melodie, I really wasn't that impressed with it either. I don't know why other than I can't imagine my Southern born and bred grandmother, who would have been of a similar age to most of the Dahlias, doing any of those things.
I do really like the China Bayles series, though.
I'm going to read
, which is not a cozy mystery. It's a paranormal romance written by Regan Hastings, which is a pseudonym of my good friend Maureen Child.
I finished
yesterday for the "Flower" theme ( by the way, fantastic book! )I've started
today for the "Pink/Red Cover" theme and so far it seems interesting.
hey does it count though if pink or red or both are in the titel?
