MAY 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: MAY 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
APRIL 16-20, 2018: Participants will Post their shelves
*If you do not list a shelf, I will not pair you with anyone
***Cut off on APRIL 20
APRIL 20-26: Pairs will be posted & then Selection of the books and posting it for the person you are choosing for

Hi Rachel! I pick
because it's a classic and
because it's also on my TBR and I'm curious to hear how it is. For your preferred genre, I'll pick
because I see it's on your TBR List and I really enjoyed it!
