       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.

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.

 - 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.
