Lyn (Readinghearts)’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

I love the way you pick quotes, Susan. They always give me just enough of a glimpse to make me curious. Like with this one. Now I want to know what the dad myth is and what DOES a fashion magazine have to do with it.

Sound like me, Bea. I have actuall already read 17 books that were on my TBR prior to 2013, but only one was on my lost list. :P

Good for you getting four done, Tien. I was just looking at my list trying to decide which one to read next. I am determined to do better this year than last.

I am tentatively in for 1 book, but I will wait to see where I am needed to round out teams.

AND - to echo Tien, Don't forget to list the link for the shelf that you want the books chosen off of.

My shelf is to-read-mine

IT is up to you, really. :)

Sign ups for cycle #2 are open from now until May 7th. When signing up, please indicate the number of books that you would like to read during the cycle.

I have posted the changes to the rules in the Rules of the Game thread.

Theme for Cycle #2 (at least one book picked for each member of your team has to meet this theme):

Since it is SPRINGTIME please pick a book where the letters of the author's initials can be found in the word SPRINGTIME.

Thanks Bea and Amy for the theme.

From Dark to Light......Post your 5 star quotes here and let us know what is so great about the books you have chosen. Any quote will do, but it you are stuck try page 55 (get it double 5s....do I hear groans??)

Theme for one book for Cycle 2

Can you guys let me know ASAP what the one book theme will be for the next cycle? I need to have the rules and sign up sheet open by Wednesday, the 1st.

Thanks

Also, can we change our number of books? Right now I'm really busy so I may want to go down to one book."

Yep, sign ups for the second cycle start May 1st. We are making a few changes to in response to some of the feedback that we got from you all in Cycle 1.

And, as Tien said, you can certainly change the number of books you sign up for. Each Cycle will be totally separate.

Easy to find things on, yes. Not so easy to narrow down the pickings. :)"

I totally hear you on that one. My list could be HUGE. If I had no othr groups and challenges but this one, and did not review books, I could just read books off of this list for the whole month.

Yes, this is a very easy shelf to pick from, isn't it, Susan.

Bea - I really have to get around to reading this book. That quote sounds so good and creepy.

You got it, Sherri.

Wow, that certainly qualifies as Dark, Coralee.

Now I want to know what she did to him....

6 spots still open for this tower and 13 reserved but not closed. We are getting close!

I did. I just started it and so far it is pretty intersting. I have been wanting to read something by Kate Atkinson for a while.
