[aisle] march book madness

[Amy Phillips]

For the bracket with the covers, I made that myself in Lucidpress. I've
also done it in Microsoft Publisher. I do have to save each of the covers
in a folder on my computer to upload them into either program, but once I
have a look I like, I reuse the template year after year.
