MARCH 2018 Dusty Bookshelf Challenge:
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: MARCH 2018 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.
TIMELINE
FEBRUARY 18-22, 2018: Participants will Post their shelves
*If you do not list a shelf, I will not pair you with anyone
***Cut off on FEBRUARY 22
FEBRUARY 23,-26: Pairs will be posted & then Selection of the books and posting it for the person you are choosing for
*Again, as I said earlier, please try to select for your pair ASAP.

Hey, Diane, it looks like we posted at just about the same time! Thanks for the great picks. I need both of those books for other challenges, so thanks for the push to get them read in March. And the bonus sounds really good--I've added it to my TBR.

Hi Chelle,
I haven't read any of your choices, so I'll pick


Thank you Marty! I'm just starting out in Steampunk and this one sounds really interesting.

Happy reading!



I haven't read them but the former is on my tbr and the other one seems really good.
As for the bonus, I can't see your shelves so I'll pick three books hoping you haven't read them!
