Since March focuses on St. Patrick’s Day, there should be a space to incorporate Pi Day. Something like pie on the cover art etc.
April also has National Siblings Day so it might be fun to have a space that is a book about siblings.

I know this has been done before but a dragon square for Feb would be cool since it’s the year of the dragon

Another option for May the Fourth would be a space opera. It’s a sub-genre of sci-fi.

I almost suggested space opera, but I thought leaving it more open would be easier for people who don’t typically read the genre. Plus, space operas tend to be long, so that might be harder for some people as well. I didn’t want to make it too hard for people to complete. lol

Ahh, gotcha! Good thinking. 
I know I have three space operas on my TBR.
