Romance Reader's March Challenge

Over on GoodReads, I have entered the Romance Reader's Reading Challenges March Challenge. Here are the rules:


1. March: Read a book which title or authors name starts with “M”.

2. Birthday: Read a book from a March B-day celebrant’s GR bookshelf whose “day” falls on the same “day” as yours. If no one has the exact same day, then go for the closest date. (http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2162...)
