All good Kasia. :O)Hi Lara! I just took a quick look over your shelves (it's getting into the month now and I know how I hate waiting) and I don't see that you've read any Susan Sizemore. She's a wonderful author and I think you'll enjoy her series beginning with I Burn for You.
If that doesn't suit, let me know and I'll consider further. :O)
Kasia, I picked for Melissa in May...I don't mind picking for her again if she doesn't...what do you think Melissa? :O) (just in case, I'm wracking my brains for another great author...)

Amanda, sorry I haven't had a chance to finish the title you recommended (I really haven't read much of anything this month for some reason) but it is still on my shelf and I'll get to it soon. :O)Melissa, so glad you enjoyed Minda Webber! She's truly one of my favs and I love passing her along. :O)
Briansgirl wrote: "they are old enough (from 80s) that there are no reviews or blurbs on GRs for them although they are listed at least..."Hmm...sounds like a project... :O)
Briansgirl, the b-day thing just gave me an excuse to clean up...I had way too many shelves! It was becoming the opposite of organized. I am thinking of creating another shelf however. To-Read-Vowels might come in handy, no? :O)
I was just looking at filling September and (eep 9 books!) it's a true challenge all by itself. Geez, I have 18 books on my list this month, and May is only 3 letters...Not that I've actually checked to see if the character name bit will help, but how could it hurt? :O)And character names are almost always on the blurb, or if not, in someone's review. (the professions were a bit difficult. the more I think about it, the less I am inthralled with my professor pick...)
(not sure if I should post this here or in May's Read the Month)Here's a quick idea for future Read the Month challenges: as the months get longer could we open it up to include Character Names? Might make it easier to read across challenges...
I always feel whiny when I have a headache. The life-altering changes are just a bonus! :O)And now I need Es...

Life. What's cha gonna do? :O)This is apparently migraine week, and I don't remember the last time I picked up a book. I did clean up my bookshelves here on GR (I didn't notice anyone pick from my shelves for the b-day challenge and figured they needed some work). They were a little dusty *swishswish with the feather duster*.
And now for my next dose of life...I gotta go drop my classes. It looks like I'll be changing programs, and schools, and starting (hopefully) for fall.
Well, at least that gives me more time to read, eh? :O)
By my count I'll need to read a book a day for the rest of the month to finish both my challenge titles and my library books...
