Joyce Hi Lily.
I thought it might be fun to have two books a month to select from. What do you think?

Joyce How about if we pick something from the 2013 Choice Awards List?

Joyce Good idea (maybe two categories a month for a choice). What categories do you prefer?

Or maybe we should just pick a couple of books since it is the 8th already?

Is anyone interested in reading one or two of the following?
- Written in Red (The Others #1) by Anne Bishop,
- Allegiant by Veronica Roth,
- The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman,
- I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and
Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai, Christina
Lamb,
- And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini,
- The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

Necessary Lies 4,24

- Fantasy
The Ocean at the End of the Lane 4.04

- Science Fiction:
MaddAddam 3,95
Dust (Silo #3)4.32 -(we could start with first book in
the series)

- Fiction:
And the Mountains Echoed 4.02
The Story Teller 4.23

Just add what you would like to read to the list. I really don't care the list above is only a suggestion. I read two or three books a week, so I'll keep up with what ever everyone decides, and what I want to read too.
