Our August "moderator recommends" book is
The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona WardThis is the story of a serial killer. A stolen child. Revenge. Death. And an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.
All these things are true. And yet they are all lies...
You think you know what's inside the last house on Needless Street. You think you've read this story before. That's where you're wrong.
In the dark forest at the end of Needless Street, lies something buried. But it's not what you think...
Christine, is this the list you're looking for? It's dated 12/08/2021. If so, you'll need to create your own list here and re-link the books: when I cut and pasted it that part was lost. But I did put the strike-throughs back in so you would know which books you already showed checked off. 3. The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green
6. A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell
7. A Time of Terror by Allan W. Eckert
9. The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett
10. The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré
11. A Swim in the Pond in the Rain by George Saunders
12. A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
Alternates:
1. The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story by Nikole Hannah-Jones
2. The Woman They Could Not Silence by Kate Moore
3. Under the Whispering Door by T.J.Klune
4. When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
Let me look.
I hear you, Desley! See you in September.
WHEN YOU POST YOUR AUTHORS PLEASE ALSO POST TWO BOOKS BY THAT AUTHOR THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING READINGMost people are probably familiar with "series interactive" challenges, where someone posts multiple outstanding books from several series they are reading, and another participant picks which series they will read from in the following month, with the purpose of edging us all closer to being caught up in our favorite series.
This is the same idea, except we're doing it for authors who write multiple books that are stand-alones and **NOT** part of a series. Examples would be Marie Benedict, Jodi Picoult, Ron Chernow, etc. I find I get so focused on series books (in part because of challenges) that I forget to read these others and they pile up! I can't be the only person in this situation. :-)
How this works: on or about the 19th of the month (we're starting late but typically the 19th will be used), participants will be invited to post a list of three authors that they have at least two unread books by. On or about the 25th of the month, pairs will be posted. Everyone will pick the next month's "featured author" for the person they're assigned. I will pick for anyone who does not have a pick by the 30th if I cannot reach the member who is assigned the pick via PM.
The following month, participants should read at least one book by their chosen author. (If you don't get to it and have to backfill or skip it, that's fine -- the point is to whittle down that TBR and have fun!)
Books can be any length, and can be fiction or non-fiction -- they just CANNOT be part of a series, and you need at least two books by an author for that author to qualify for this challenge.
Come join us for August!
Hi, everyone!For anyone unfamiliar, this is a monthly challenge where you post a link to a shelf you created. It can be named "PIFM" or "Pick It For Me" etc, if you want one dedicated only to this challenge, or you can use an existing shelf you already have, as long as it has 100 or fewer books on it. The link must be to the specific shelf, or you will not be partnered.. Indicate how many books you would like to have picked for you from that shelf for the month in question. There is no lower limit as to how many books you can have on your shelf, but, of course, they should be books you are interested in reading during the next month and have ready access to.
On or about the 25th of each month, I will post who picks for whom. In order to accommodate an uneven number of participants, pairs will not be reciprocal -- in other words, it won't be Joanne picking for Jennifer and Jennifer picking for Joanne. It may be Joanne picks for Jennifer, Jennifer picks for Herman, and Herman picks for Suzanne, and someone else entirely picks for Joanne.
IF anyone has not been "picked for" by the 30th, I will pick for them if the designated picker can't be contacted by PM.
When you are assigned someone to pick for, note the number of books in parentheses after that person's name in the pick list, go to the link for their shelf, and pick that number of books for them. Post the books in a new message here. That person has the entire following month to read his/her picks. Someone will be picking for you the same way. We all like to see what people think about their picks, so we hope you will keep us posted in this thread!
Example: "In for five, please!
PIFM"
The HTML template for linking your shelf can be found here and if you have trouble, PM me and I will help you.
Your designated shelf must be set so that others can see it. To set up a PIFM shelf for those who would like to, go to the "MY BOOKS" link in the GOODREADS toolbar, scroll down below your shelves on the left until you see the "add shelf" button, and click that. Name it PIFM or Pick It For Me. Add books to it, and post the link to it in this challenge as described above. Again, if you need help, please don't hesitate to PM me!
If you are in for August, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!

Hi, everyone! August’s colors are Red and Black. Looking forward to seeing your covers!
I read this years ago but I suspect it’s time for a reread. I don’t like short stories with the exception of two authors, and one of them is Maugham. His two-volume collected short stories are among my favorite books, and I’ve read most of his plays and all but a couple of his novels. Oddly, the novel he’s arguably most lauded for, Of Human Bondage, didn’t do much for me.
If you like old movies, hunt up Bette Davis in The Letter. Vintage Maugham.
Good show, Denise. I remember liking that one. It's been years since I read her and I'm behind about three or four books.
