Please post your shelves. NO COMMENTS in this thread please. After I post the pair, it will add a link to the shelf, and then you can add discussion comments.
How It Will Work:
1) Please only post no more than 10 books that you would like to read this month.
*minimum 4 books.
2) An assigned person will FIRST pick TWO BOOKS from your post series.
3) SECOND, the assigned person will recommend ONE MORE from a Genre of your choice.
4) You have one month: AUGUST 2017 to try to read one of the chosen books. You can read ALL THREE if you would like (*if you don't read your book this month, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT)
5) Please try to select for your pair ASAP as we all get excited and waiting is torture to some.

DO NOT SIGN UP if:
1. Do not think you will remember to pick for your pair on time. It's a hassle for people to keep waiting for a pick.
2. If you do no plan to return and update your original post with both the books you picked and the books picked for you. Just please don't sign up.

Hi Denise!
For you I pick: [bookcover:Daughter of Smoke & Bone|13600168] because it's on my TBR list as well. and

For your preferred genre, I apologize, I really don't know much about this genre and I had a hard time finding any lists that covered both historical romance and M/M or F/F. So, this may or may not fit the bill but hopefully is close to what you were looking for! -
