I'm in, but I'll post titles as I go along. This was an easy challenge to find titles for so I'll just be posting the first 9 I finish that qualify.

The last book listed on page 20 has 2 adds to the "paranormal-romance" shelf. So if you search for a book and go to it's page, check the list of shelves on the right hand side of the page (popular shelves). If it is listed on the paranormal-romance shelf by at least two people then it should be okay. Hope this helps.

Congrats, Mel!

I have also won two books.
