Literary Lark Pursuit - January Round 3

Each week in January I will be issuing a challenge to my fellow bloggers, Tevya and Paula. Each of us must track down various books, authors, book trailers, and other literary items. One point will be awarded for each unique item. For example, if the topic was characters named Alice and both Tevya and I answered Alice Cullen we would receive no points. At the end of the month we'll tally up the scores and see who won. If Tevya or Paula wins, I will be supplying them with a lovely prize. If I win, Tevya will be making me a lovely scrabble tile necklace. In February, we will be switching it up and trying to get our readers and book blogger friends to join in the fun. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy - send us an email and we'll get you on the  competitor list.

Our email is reading.lark@gmail.com

This week's challenge required the following -

* 3 book characters named Paula

* 2 book trailers with blond girls

* 3 Authors whose last name begins with B

* 1 book that has a rain related item on the cover

* 1 bookstore (nonchain) located in New Orleans

Who will take the crown in this final week? Did I keep my lead? The February contest begins next week! We only did 3 weeks in January due to various reasons. We'd love to have our followers participate in the future. There are prizes to be won!
