D.G.’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

Great choice by the way! I'll defintily read that one!

I think that could be suggested but not required. I love audiobooks but I know they're not for everybody.

is so good! I recently re-read it and enjoy it a lot!

Thanks, Susan!

Great shelf, Gemma.

If I can get out of this awful slump, I may try:

This shelf is not about history per se but mostly fiction where it assumes history went through a different path. Sort of like 'what if the Vikings had continued coming to the new world instead of giving up?' Or stories that assume that magic was discovered at some point in the past, thus changing history as we know it. You'll also find lots of dystopia there too.

Oooh! Interesting pick, Melissa! I already found several that work for me.

LOL, Matt!!

I really liked those two books as well, Sarah. I haven't read fiction in a long time...have been busy with other stuf but I should get back to it one of these days.

Hahahahahaha, Lynn! He's super awesome.

That's AMAZING book.

Here's a quote from by Jessica Park. Lots of awesome quotes in this book.

“Mom, I have to go. I think this Matt character is here."
"Are you sure it's him?"
Julie peered into the car as the window lowered. "I see a maniacal-looking guy with brightly-colored candy in one hand, and he's waving a sickle in the other. Oh! He's beckoning me to the car. This must be my ride.”

Guess I will not be able to review this book..."

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Good one, Matt.

LOL, I never know the definition of a Beach Read either.

I read Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park and gave it 4 stars. I really enjoyed it, the humor and the characters. Matt is just like my husband so I was smitten since Julie first met him and - that t-shirt with "Nietzsche Is My Homeboy" said it all for me. I figured out everything that was going on so I could totally enjoy myself but I can understand those low ratings this book has. I would have been mad with the way it ended if I hadn't known what was going on.

I'll be reading for this shelf. Already started it!

HAHAHAHAHA!!

I haven't picked yet. Lately I've been in a romance mood...

I read short stories now and then but here are a few on my TBR (not sure they are short stories, per se but they are on the shelf):


The only book of real short stories I have on my TBR is not on the list: Cuentos más que completos (not surprisingly, since it's in Spanish) but it's by one of best short stories writer in Latin America. Maybe I'll read it in honor on the shelf, even it won't count. :)

Insteresting choice! But don't you have to pick a shelf instead of a list? Shelves tend to have a lot more books.

Looking forward to your pick, Nadine!

I made me smile too! I don't know why but I usually go for funny quotes when I post here.

Quote from , not sure which page (I listened to the book):

"You should be used to being gawked at by now."
"And yet I'm not."
"Well, if it gets too bad, give me a signal, and I'll get up on the banquet table, toss my skirt over my head, and do a little dance. That way no one will be looking at you.”
