Debbie (debbiegray) | 1030 comments Please add me to the perm. list also...I need help deciding what to read, I guess because I have soooo many TBR in my mountain. I will post a list on Monday...

Debbie (debbiegray) | 1030 comments I'm sorry I thought this was to read any books that have been gathering dust in our TBR's

I am sorry that I was unclear/incorrect Debbie. This Challenge is for ALL the books collecting dust on your bookshelf. Whatever ever books you are trying to get to.

sorry for the confusion
(thanks Pat)

Jennifer C. | 1722 comments You can do that too. Maybe pick some books that have been on your TBR list for a really long time.

Logan (loganturner) | 995 comments I would like to join please! This will help me actually read some of those old books that I always push off in favor of challenge and library books. :)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 2457 comments Not quite sure how this will work, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I do not keep my tbr on Goodreads, though ... will that make a difference?

message 67: by Penumbra (new)

Penumbra | 486 comments I made a Dusty Bookshelf To Read list and tagged books to put on it so that when it's time to pick, I just go through that list and choose. Lot's easier than going through my whole collection of books.

Ok. Go add your bookshelf on the December DB thread.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 2457 comments Ezi ... I'm confused ... how do I know who I'm choosing books for and who is choosing books for me?

On page 1 of this thread, Post 2, There is a Picking list. You are second from the bottom.

Sandy picks for Book Concierge
Book Concierge picks for Lauren

Don't forget to list your bookshelf AND make your two book choices for Lauren on the December thread


message 73: by Nika ♥Marie♥ (new)

Nika  ♥Marie♥ (mylknhoney) | 659 comments Can I make a suggestion instead of posting all over the threads what we are picking for each other we should just post in our original posts it will make it easier to search through! IMHO


message 74: by Vicky (new)

I know you already did picking order for December, any chance I can join in for January?

❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ | 482 comments do you have to review the book?
i don't review books, i'm not good at it and can never really express what i felt while reading the book.
that's the only problem i'm having with joining this challenge.

You can join if you want. you don't have to review the book. The challenge is for you to get rid of YOUR Dusty books. I usually rate the books. You can review if you want, but it's NOT a requirement. That's not what the challenge is about.
(*Hey Steph, are you still doing BDB challenges?)

Karla Do you have to re-sign up for each month? I thought once you signed up, you were on the list unless you said you didn't want to do it anymore.

Is it too late to be added to January's list?

No problem, I haven't been very active in this group, so it was an easy mistake.
