Happily Ever After Cafe discussion

Over in a Flash - hopefully will be a reoccurring challenge.

I stole this idea (with permission) from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

Over in a Flash ~ Cover Hunt & Theme Challenge ~

Duration: April 1st – April 30, 2012

Rules: Read 2 books with the following items found on their covers; choose 2 of the 3 options below. Be sure to post your book covers, dates read, and star ratings. If you want, you can do this at the end of the month after you reviewed your covers. Feel free to do all three if you want.

Member Choosing: Erika has been a GoodReads member since October 2011 and participant of HEAC since December 2011. She is not only into romance books, but “psychology, forensics, mystery/horror movies, health, and Christianity”. She has a wonderful sense of humor and is lobbying strong for Carell as Roarke (In Death series) instead of Gandy, LOL!

Color: white
Holiday Theme: Easter: inspirational romance, character’s a vet - or animal lover - word “cross” in the title, character is a former prisoner/bad person/committed a crime
Items: diamond (April’s birthstone), daisy (April’s flower), pen, paper, book (Poetry month, also Shakespeare’s birth 4/23), tree (Arbor Day 4/10), stethoscope or white lab coat (World Health Day 4/7).

I'm in! I know I have one for the holiday theme - now to look at covers for one of the items.

Added you, Jenn, Anna, & BJ Rose.

He was great, Pamela. The Master. ☺

It's funny really, LK. I wanted to be an artist when I was young. It was a surprise to see I shared his B.D. Too bad I didn't have his talent.

Oh, I wanted to be an artist too. Took art all the way into college. I still paint occassionally.

I mostly sketched in pencil. I was just okay. I did paint one painting in oil and one in watercolor. Neither was anything to write home about. Maybe I'll take a picture of my watercolor that I do still have and let you see. lol

I'm in!

That would be great. I guess I could take a picture with my iPod/Touch of my teapots I did in watercolor. If I ever get organized enough, LOL!

Posted you, Cheryl! ☺

Here's my two, but I always end up changing something...

Looks good, BJ Rose!

I've been thinking about the "former prisoner" theme... wasn't going to choose one, as I'm not real keen on them and I just read (which was wonderful!!). Nevertheless, I have ... I just might do that one. I'm still thinking, though. ☺

Ah... uploaded the right bookcover for . By the way, it is free right now to Amazon Prime customers. (And, no, I didn't get the cover there, LOL!)

It was also originally published in April, for any of you doing a Spring challenge.

Ugh. I've been sick. Here it is April 3rd and I don't have one book read yet!

Lisa Kay, sorry to hear you've not been feeling well. My family has all been passing around the flu bug for the last several weeks. Luckily, I've been one of the very few to escape it!

I'm just starting my first book in this challenge today. (Julie James's ABOUT THAT NIGHT)

Feel better soon!

Thanks, AnneOK! I'm trying. Glad you escaped. ☺
