Marla, I pick Prodigy (Legend, #2) by Marie Lu & Echo Burning (Jack Reacher, #5) by Lee Child
I hope you enjoy both! I'm on the library waitlist for the first Legend book and I find something entertaining about the Jack Reacher series and can't seem to let go of it. I'm on book 12 (I think?)

Mary, I'm very sorry, but sign ups ended on the 21st at 10:30 am CDT, and pairs have already been posted. Sign ups for the November Dusty Bookshelf challenges should be up sometime around Mid October, so feel free to post a shelf then!

For you, I pick The Coroner (Jenny Cooper, #1) by M.R. Hall and A Street Cat Named Bob How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets by James Bowen You'll have to let me (and everybody else too, I guess) know how the cat one was. I <3 cats so much, and I love reading stories about them. "


Thanks VampAmber :)
I look forward to read Bob's story. This book is also an extra challenge for me because I bought Portuguese edition ;)

I'm sorry, Lauren, but, as I told Mary this morning, it is too late for sign ups as pairs have already been posted. There's always next month, though!

I hope you had a great time on your holiday!

LaurLa | 3905 comments Deanne - I pick for you:


Whisper Hollow by Chris Cander - sounds a little creepy (the religious overtones notwithstanding)...perfect for October!

The Heroes' Welcome A Novel by Louisa Young - sometimes we forget the vets from WWI and WWII went through as much or more than our current generation of vets. this sounds like a wonderful way to remember Veterans" Day this October.

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd - sounds moving and interesting.

You have not. Your partner has until tomorrow at 10:30 am CST to pick for you, then if you don't have a pick by then, either Ezi or I will get you re-paired up so you get a pick.

Brilliant, thank you, saw the post about re-picking was just worried I was being stupid

Nope, I just posted that last night as a bit of a reminder for the group. I'm also waiting for picks myself. According to the Finish What You Started Series thread, deadline is the 25th at 10:30 am CST (or as I call it, Ezi time). I figured the same would apply here as well.

I've been helping Ezi keep track of the pairs, so I know who needs repicks already. If Ezi can't get to it, I could have a re-pick pair list up fairly quickly tomorrow. Don't worry though, we'll get you taken care of!

Thank you! Methinketh I will readeth Insomnia by Stephen King . I've owned it longer than I've owned The Bourne Identity (Jason Bourne, #1) by Robert Ludlum ; and besides, King comes alphabetically before Ludlum.

Welcome Back, Ezi! You're welcome...though I'm not sure what I did...

No, no one is missing a pick currently, as the only person missing picks was Petra, and I picked for her.

GO, rest! I'm dithering about homeschooling vs Online Public School, so I'll keep an eye on things.
