Quite by accident, I discovered a romance novelist this year I really like named Christine Rimmer. I am going to read one of her earliest works I can find available on Kindle: The Nine-Month Marriage

This is one of my most favorite genres so picking just one book will be difficult lol I think I'll go with Murder on the Last Frontier though because it's been on my TBR pile since forever.

Seconding!
- What are you reading this week?Like many others here, The Lightning Thief
- What is the myth the book is based on?
Greek Mythology
- Is your knowledge good about this myth? Not really. I remember studying it in elementary school and loving it but it's been years since then.
- Is there another mythology you'd like to explore? Hmm Chinese mythology would be new for me so that for sure.
20/52 done so far!
The bottom pick was a lot easier for me this time lol
A love story ... Doesn't need to be a romance novel per se. Can have a tragic ending or be about a deep love between 2 friends, et al.
- What are you reading this week?Curiosity Thrilled the Cat
- Do you prefer mysteries or thrillers? Why?
I love them both though I am more drawn to thrillers because the subject matter is generally more gritty and exciting.
- Clue(do) game: pick a character, a place and a "weapon" and complete the sentence: Name in the Place with the Weapon.
Moriarty in the parlor with a pistol.
- What are you reading this week?Queen Sugar
- Who is the book's author? Natalie Baszile
- Do you read many books by people of color? I've read a fair amount I think.
- Is it important to you to read diversely? Yes, but I also just want to read a good book. So whoever writes a good book, no matter their skin color, I'll try to read it.
- Is adding diversity to your reading one of the reasons you participate in the ATY Challenge?
I just signed up because I like challenges but this is a great plus!
I am honestly going to say I am glad second person POV books were voted out. There are such a small number of books written that way that I fear I couldn't find even one I liked. Too limiting. I'm cool with everything else.
- What are you reading this week?Gorge: My Journey Up Kilimanjaro at 300 Pounds
- Which challenge did you pick? What is the category?
Book Riot's Reader Harder Challenge. The category is "travel memoir".
- Why did you choose this category?
Because my face-to-face book club meetup is reading this!
I feel like discussing The Broker by John Grisham with a buddy or 2. Does anyone want to join in the fun? I was thinking August 1st would be a great start date!
- What are you reading for this category? 
- Did you know of this book already or was it a complete discovery? I knew *of* it but not what it was about. I've read lots of Grisham over the years, but not this one - yet.
- Whose bookshelves did you get inspiration from? My mother. She is an even more prolific reader than I am.
- Do you often browse what people read to discover new books? Oh yes. I can't help myself at all lol
