Thanks for the details. Hopefully you'll get some participation from the group!

I know we have several authors in the group with books on our bookshelf. And I want to make sure that eventually, everyone gets read. So, I have two ideas to help with that.

One; In April or May, instead of doing a genre poll, I could just do a poll with 5 or 6 books from authors in our group.

Two; We can do an independent read this summer, 2 months long, and for every book on our bookshelf you read & leave a review for, you'll be entered to win a prize. (Maybe some of the authors could contribute the prizes. i.e. signed books, gift off wishlist, etc) and of course, I'll contribute too and try to find other authors who will. I have a few in mind.

Let me know your thoughts on these ideas.

Don't forget, March is the last month to read our 1st Quarter series. Be sure to post your reviews here.

Our March BOTM is Never Gonna Tell get started and be sure to leave your reviews here.

Happy Reading!

Good points!!

Make sure your books are on our bookshelf. If they aren't, drop me the link so I can add it. Then when we choose the genre your books fall into, I'll make sure they get added.

Agreed!

I'm going to try to get a head start on March's BOTM. I'll be posting a genre poll here shortly. I'm so bad about procrastinating. Trying to do better lol

Thank you so much for joining us, Bruce. I really enjoy getting to know an author as I read their books, and I think others will too.

Yes, Julie, please do.

Our February BOTM is Diary of a Shy Backpacker: Awakening Down Under by Bruce Spydar

This is a Travelogue and unlike our past BOTM reads, so I'm excited to see us branching out.

Use this thread to post your feedback, as well as your reviews when you're done.
