Mine is minus 3-4 books from last month that I've read for other challenges/BRs. But I still have a good number so I'm not adding any more just yet. Maybe next month.Fabi's Pick For Me shelf.
I haven't even touched those books. There's a reason I chose them for the pick me.
I'm in for all challenges so if I don't say so on the right thread just assume for me please. Here's my link for this one: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...I just now signed my first ever editing contract and I now have a solid July 1st deadline so I'll be a little scarce around here. 😬😬😬

Are you saying what I think you're saying? We have to pay double?
Lol.....YAY
Congrats, Robin! So when are you going to put it on GR so that we can mark it 'to read'??
I think just as soon as it clicks that it's actually happening?! And I need to get my cover actually "created." The one I'm using now is from a Word document!

So, Sunday is the last day of the month. aka Random Draw Day (RDD).Does someone else want to take a turn at the random draw? I had a blast with it. I don't mind doing it again if no one else wants to. But it's fun seeing who ends up with who so if anyone else wants a turn just speak up.
So we were discussing on Tessa's update how GR likes to PICK FOR US or Recommend books that are totally bizarre and not at all in common with our TBR's..... I thought I'd share today's GR pick....

OR DO YOU THINK ALL AMISH CHICKS GO AROUND WITH WHIPS IN THEIR HANDS????
LOL Yes. They do. We've all scene those clips where they pray and then start whipping some "impure" soul. Now you know why. :P Thank you Fabi for getting this done! I don't know which thrills me more. Reading the book, or picking someone else's.
LOL Tessa! You sound like you just read Tillie Cole's Hades Hangmen series...
See, you are in a war, and are taken by the handsome enemy to be "interogated"... ROFL
He better NOT HAVE A BEARD....SOME SCRUFF FINE! BEARD=NO INTERROGATION
And why are most of these recommendations over 9.99...hmmmmmmm?
Has other Yo do with ad placement, of course. It's uh... To entice you knowing that if it's so expensive, it must be good!
Yeah uh huh....sure! If it's so good why aren't more people reading it and ratings are better????
It's over 4 stars... At 13.99 it better be.
Well that one, fine but the other rec's we've been getting are probably read all by the author's family who all 5-stared them...
LOL Ela. I'm sure there are plenty of 5 star reviews out there like that, by the author's every family member, and uncle tom cobley and all.........It's weird what GR recs, isn't it? I keep getting a rec of some book by a person named Betty Neels, who I think is some old school Mills and Boon writer. I must have had that rec at least 10 times. Um, just, NO!
