It is really fun to see what you all are selecting from my shelves.

I'm thinking we should do this every month. Have a "wild card" option where we pick one member whose bookshelves you may peruse and use. What do you think? Should we go by birthday babies?

Lisa Kay wrote: "I'm thinking we should do this every month. Have a "wild card" option where we pick one member whose bookshelves you may peruse and use. What do you think? Should we go by birthday babies?"

I like this one. Who would we choose from? Group members whose lists are public? Identify those who plan to be in the challenge and choose one of them?

BTW, I was planning to choose a different book from your list, but realized as i was posting that you had also read Animal Attraction.

Lara, I posted a discussion thread here.

Count me in! It's okay to backtrack right, if I can fit in the ones I have already read in September? I might only read books from Lisa Kay's shelf - cause she had excellent taste xD

Aww... sweet of you to say so, Susanne. Sure, you can backtrack to the beginning of September.

Jenny wrote: "Lara, I just noticed that you read , was it good?"

In this book you get two stores for one. I enjoyed it, but preferred the secondary story. Isabel was nice, but I found her romance more predictable. The secondary story between Consuelo and Kent was more interesting--and they had more to challenge them. Although, Ford has some sigh-worthy scenes.

Here's my list!

I think it's an excellent idea! Gives you freedom but still a really fun way. But I think it should be the birthday gal's read shelf so we can get that persons favorite for the monthly challenge xD

Glad you like it, Susanne!
