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.

Jen wrote: "I have been having a hard time keeping my attention on my books. I am enjoying what I am reading but after 20-30 pages I just want to switch to something else. Usually I only have 1 or 2 books at a..."

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.

I can get the exact quote from my ebook copy, so don't worry.
Enjoy seeing friends.

More gremlins, Empress only has the read date from April 2020.

You can have KY's rain. I am flying back to Boston today and that is much less fun in storms.

I am hanging out with my sister and her family. I have done no reading in the past few days, but it is the first time I have seen them in a year and a half. I got to meet my nephew.
