Recommend books that you think others will like. Make sure that the books are in their specific genres. You can add a genre if you believe it is not in the folder already. You may also create a new thread for specific books if you believe it requires it.

FOR AUTHORS: Please, no self advertising, there is a reason we have an "Author" folder.

Thanks

This thread is for authors who are promoting their books or those who want to provide a free copy to those who are willing to review them.

Please post any giveaway that you know on this thread. We all love getting free books and we would like to know about them ^_^

Just to let everyone know I'm deleting every post that hasn't been touched from 2013 and older. Its too cluttered and I'm going insane looking at this.

Also, if any thread is not in the proper folder it will be moved or deleted.

Thanks

No Problem.

I'll make a list now so that everyone will know which months are available.

January: Brigid
February: Anita
March: Heidi
April:
May: Jenny
June:
July:
August:
September: Ashley
October:

Hi all!

We asked everyone about ideas regarding next years book read. It was a unanimous agreement that we let one member for each month, depending on how many sign up, pick a book and moderate for that month's book discussion.

If you are interested in participating, post your name and the month of your choice, unless you have no preference.

Be aware there are a few rules.

1. Authors are NOT allowed to pick their own books. Other members, who participates, can pick the book of author members.

2. The Book must be easily available in different formats. ie. audio, ebook, hard copy, library accessible. (If the book is a Hidden Gem please make sure that the book is also easily available, if not, maybe we can save it for the next Around the World?)

3. It must be the first of a series or the first book(s) has been read in the group previously.

4. The book MUST be YA or middle grade

5. Please make sure the book has not been previously read in this group. You can see all the books we've read in the "Bookshelf"

Although not a rule, we do ask the participants to choose books that are not relatively new. Meaning, if the book came out in January maybe you can ask to be put in March or April.

You do not necessarily need to post your book when you put your name, but please let the members know at least two weeks before your given month which book you have picked.

Finally, you are responsible for moderating in your chosen/given month. Don't worry we don't expect anything fancy.

Any other questions, please ask us, we would love to answer them!

Your Lovely Moderators! ^_^

ok, so lets start nominating books!

Hi all. So what should we do for the month of November? Do we want to just pick a book or should we do a poll style pick? Let me know what everyone thinks!

Hi all. So I mailed the book to Kristen last week, so it should be with her by the end of the week. Sorry for the delay everyone!

Haven't read anything for awhile, but now that the wool is out of my head, I need to get back on track!

oh wow. I didn't even know this was the book for this month. Have we decided what will be for November?

JENNY: I'm glad you liked it! I enjoyed reading the book as well ^_^
