Joyce, that would be great. You can write the questions if your book arrives in time and I will if it does not. It really helps with the randomizer if we have at least two people for each BOM.

It kept me completely engaged, and I'm promptly moving to the next in series :)"

I've been meaning to read that book. Thank you for the recommendation.

The Backroom BOM - Prickly Business - has started, and the discussion is about as random as expected. (Also, the backroom books tend to be read for fun and not seriously). If you have any interest, anyone over 18 is welcome to join the backroom group. Backroom July BOM

Sorry.

Also, I think Mort works for Best Ending Listopia."

You are correct. It is #365.

For people who want to get in line at the library for July BOMs:
Adult -
YA -

The YA is a reread for me, and I adore it. Both Judith and Jen read the adult one recently and liked it.

I read 3-4 at once. I have different reading moods and often have one more serious and smaller, lighter ones and +/- an audio for walks.

Last Day to vote for July BOM

Polls for July BOM (last month): https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/3...

If you have no idea what to vote for, my reccomendations (as in, I nominated) are Project Hail Mary and Lost in the Never Woods.

Jackanory is its own section so we get page number points but separate from tasks and BINGO

Can I participate in BOM and get us points by reading the books even if I'm not signed up for the DQs??? I've just realized what SandyL's mentioned implies. Omg. :o"

Yes, you get 20 points for answering the questions. Anyone who answers the questions and reads the book during the challenge gets the points.

Edited: Sandy is referring to the one month time period in which you have to answer the question.
