JUNE 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: JUNE 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
MAY 16-23, 2018: Participants will Post their shelves
*If you do not list a shelf, I will not pair you with anyone
***Cut off on MAY 23
MAY 23-29: Pairs will be posted & then Selection of the books and posting it for the person you are choosing for

Leslie, these both sound so good:
and
Bonus #1:
- If you haven't read Dick Francis, then I highly recommend him. He was a former jockey so his mysteries are all based around the sport of horse racing. He's written lots, but this happens to be the most recent one that I finished.Bonus #2:
- This is kind of a mystery, kind of contemporary, and just plain fascinating. Our F2F book club recently read it, and it definitely prompted some interesting discussions.

Thanks, Marty! People keep picking Chocolat from my list, so I need to definitely get to it this month! It's definitely getting pretty dusty. And I've already ordered the other one from the library. Thanks for suggesting Virgin River. I've read the whole series already, but I'm thinking about listening to the audio version one of these days.
