No, I just count on you to join in. :)

I did not know that, Sarah. That is good to know.

Shelf coming

I won't have books on the shelf until the 26th-ish (waiting on picks from another challenge)"

I have been waiting for you to chime in, dearie...

I see what you are looking at, Coralee and Tien. That is a bit suspicious.....

Don't you sometimes wish that you could see who put the books on the shelves?

Tien wrote: "ALREADY?

um, put me in for 2 books... I think...

own-to-read"

They days just fly by.......We are doing signups earlier than we used to so that we can have the whole two months to read....at least that is the plan.

I'll put you down for two.

Although I haven't read my Session 3 book yet, I will sign up for Session 4. Once again, I will be reading 1 book but I will update this post with my list name as it gets closer to time to choose.

My list will be my archives list.

It is that time again. Although we are still reading from our Session 3 lists, it is now time to sign up for session 4.

Here is how the timeline will work:

July 15 - 25 Sign up time
July 26 - Lyn will assign teams
July 27 - 31 - Teams will pick books
August 1 - September 30 READ!!!

Let me know if there are any questions.

Participants:

Team 1

Lyn - 1 book
Amanda - 2 books
Fairlee - 3 books
Charity - 1 book
Tien - 2 books

Team 2

Dee - 2 books
Bea - 2 books
Marie - 2 books
Lauren - 2 books
Marina - 2 books

I know what you mean!!
Once I get these next 5..."

I'm in the same boat, need to get some reviews finished.

I see a number of books that I have been wanting to get to. Hopefully I will get to one of these:

Mockingjay
The Kite Runner
The Poisonwood Bible
The Light Between Oceans
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

I could go on and on.....We'll see what I end up reading.

I have been wanting to read that book forever, but I am SO far behind in my other reading, I know I won't get to it. :P

Marie wrote: "i am not sure how i missed this i assumed it would be from July 1st as all others were 3 month challenges"

Actually, Marie - the January - March one was the only one that has been three months for this game. I know it is confusing, and sorry about that, but we put it too a vote and most of the participants voted that they preferred a two month time frame for reading.

To further confuse you, the sign ups overlap with the end of the current session, so sign ups for session 4 should start around the 15th of July or so.

I hope you will join us for the next session. :)

I can't wait either. I hope she has time to pick soon.

And Lahni - hope your move is going well.

Ya, I'm a bad mod....I'm not really doing the big game this time. But I am trying to keep up with other things. I am going to start Cinder soon.

Thanks for the update, Coralie. I think I remember reading that somewhere. Interesting how they all fit together. Asimov is so good!

Dee wrote: "I finished Night is Darkest - pick from Bea - had forgotten how much i like this authors writi g style and ohh the hotness level :)"

Lol, hotness is always good, huh?

Asimov is one of my faves. I agree, I, Robot is more like a bunch of short stories, but great, huh?

Me too, Lauren. :)

That sounds very interesting, Debi.

I do remember the movie being very depressing.

Lauren wrote: "Lyn (Readinghearts) wrote: "I'll probably start with The Book of Life since I just finished with the first book in the series. Might as well start with the longest one, right?"

Ya - you are right. I just finished the first one, and am now reading the second on Shadow of Night. Next month I will be reading the third one, which will still fit for here.

Bea wrote: "So relieved. Just came back from the library.

This is the copy that has so put me off -

This is the copy my library had - "

I hope you like it, Bea. I'm glad that they had an alternate cover for you. :) What was it about the original cover that you didn't like?
