Challenge Wrap-Up

Thanks to everyone who participated in my first challenge hosting experience!

This is the second time I have tried a seasonally theme reading challenge, and I have really enjoyed matching some of my reading to the world outside my reading room. I read more mysteries for this challenge than I would normally choose...and found myself with some new authors to continue with. My favorite book was far and away A Hatred for Tulips which wasn't what I expected but was a wonderful and thought- provoking story.

Hope you had fun with this challenge as well!

Welcome to Another Bloomin' Challenge

The first green shoots are starting to push through the dirt of my bulb garden...and make me long for the flowers of Spring. So I'm proposing a flower-themed challenge to get you in the spirit of the season.

1. The challenge will run from March 20, 2008 - June 20, 2008.
2. You can choose one of the four levels (or participate in several levels!)
3. You can cross-post with other challenges. You can even count the same book for different levels in this challenge!

BUD-VASE: Just as a bud vase highlights the beauty of a single bloom, this challenge level asks you to read a single book with a flower in the title.

NOSEGAY: Like a small bunch of flowers gathered together, this challenge level asks you to read two or more books with the same flower in the title.

BOUQUET: Fill a vase with the bounty of the season. For this challenge level read four or more books each with a different flower in the title.

GARDEN: When you just can't get enough, this challenge level requires you to read six or more books with flowers or flowery words (bloom, blossom, petal, etc.) in the title.

I hope you'll join me!

OOPS! I messed up Mr. Linky when I added the Book Reviews list. If you want to join the challenge, just leave a message in the comments of this post. Sorry about that!
