My choice for Leigh this month. I haven't read it yet, but heard so many good things.

I'm excited to read this one again. It's been over 20 years!

Is your to-read shelf getting longer and longer? Each month we will have a fun way to select your next book.

Arrange your to-read shelf by author (to do this go to your to-read shelf and click on the bottom "sort" tab and use "author"). Select a book by an author with the first letter of your first name.

Please post the book you selected here and tell us your thoughts.

Leigh is going to read and I am going to read [. Others are welcome to join in our discussion with their thoughts on these books.

Well, this makes it easy! Leigh and I are partners this month!

I can see how she would be creeped out, it's much darker than I realized it would be. I really liked it, thanks for the recommendation!

My favorite series is the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. My favorite authors are L.M. Montgomery, Lisa See, Barbara Kingsolver, Willa Cather, Gregory Maguire and Anita Amirrezvani. Haha, just to name a few. My favorite book of all time isThe Mists of Avalon.

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life - dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge - he follows.

After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues - and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer Q gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew.

I'm listening to this currently on my commute and loving it! I almost wish my commute was longer so I could keep listening...almost.

High in his attic bedroom, twelve-year-old David mourns the death of his mother, with only the books on his shelf for company. But those books have begun to whisper to him in the darkness. Angry and alone, he takes refuge in his imagination and soon finds that reality and fantasy have begun to meld. While his family falls apart around him, David is violently propelled into a world that is a strange reflection of his own -- populated by heroes and monsters and ruled by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a mysterious book, The Book of Lost Things.

If you wish to participate in the July to-read partner please sign up here and indicate which shelf you wish your partner to choose from. Partners will be announced before June 30.

Welcome members! This is a bookclub where you are sure to be reading a book you want to read every month because it is selected from your own to-read shelf (or any other shelf you choose).

All members wishing to participate will be randomly assigned to a partner each month. Each partner will then select a book from their partner's to-read shelf or another shelf specified by the member (for example "owned books", "kindle books" etc., ). Please feel free to post discussions on your books!

Two monthly group reads are featured each month. One is selected as a group, based on member nominations and a group vote and the other is selected by a randomly chosen member of the group

I will also be adding a bonus book every month, Meg's pick.

Please feel free to add discussions, games, challenges of your own, and any suggestions, recommendations, and comments are welcome!

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Civil War, Margaret Mitchell's epic love story is an unforgettable tale of love and loss, of a nation mortally divided and its people forever changed. At the heart of all this chaos is the story of beautiful, ruthless Scarlett 'O' Hara and the dashing soldier of fortune, Rhett Butler.
