Another Blooming Challenge Completed

Finished this Challenge today.

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.

I read The Ghost Orchid by Carol Goodman and The Military Orchid by Jocelyn Brooke.

I might even look for some more books with Orchid in the title to add to this Nosegay over the coming months!

The Military Orchid

The Military Orchid by Jocelyn Brooke

The first book in Jocelyn Brooke's semi-autobiographical trilogy, descriing his childhood, schooling and time in the military in WW2. Interwoven throughout the story is his search for the elusive Military Orchid.
His love of life and sepecially of botany pervade this novel.

Enjoyable read.

The Ghost Orchid by Carol Goodman

The Ghost Orchid by Carol Goodman

I enjoyed this book, reading the whole thing in bed last night.
A Gothic thriller: an artist retreat, Italian gardens, mediums, dead and missing children, the past and present colliding.

Another Blooming 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.
The challenge will run from March 20, 2008 - June 20, 2008.

You can choose one of the four levels (or participate in several levels!)
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.'

Yep another one....

As I've joined this challenge late I think I'll be going for the NOSEGAY - two books with the same flower in the title.
