Have never done a monthly challenge so I am not even sure if I am properly prepared or set up to participate LOL...but it's finally summer...well, almost 8 more days and then FREEDOM!!! :)
Is it too late to be in? I'm gonna try, even though I'm pretty busy and don't get to complete all my challenges :/ But I wanna try.

It was super fun and sweet with a little angst for spice.

"Somewhat scary, but okay. :)
My rec for Tessa is "Mists of the Serengeti"!And...can someone please tell me how to copy in the cute book pictures going forward...please please please?!
And I'm still pondering my own choice....too many good ones to choose from :D
I will go for
and my recommendation for Tessa is
which I can't believe she hasn't read
Yay, Tessa! *rubs hands* Now I get to go a-searchin', but I have a feeling I already know what I'm going to pick for my read.Michele--I use Google Chrome on my laptop, and from the 'Apps', I added 'emoji keyboard' 🙃
I was pretty sure I was going to pick The Mafia and His Angel, but once I looked at the list, I found an oldie that I need to get off my tbr, and I think almost everyone's read it but me:Degradation (The Kane Trilogy #1) by Stylo Fantome
Will have to do a bit of research to find my suggestion for Tessa.
Michele, above the comment box click "add book/author". Search for book, select "cover" (not "link") then click "add".
Tessa, Full Tilt isnt too bad. Yes, I cried but I am a major book wimp. You do need to be in mood for tearjerker though. The good thing is that the whole book isnt sad/depressing. It is a beautiful love story.
I am picking
. It's not on my TBR, but it looks awesome, so it should be.And I also pick
for Tessa because everyone should read it
*does double happy dance* Paula's reading M and A, and I can't believe Renee hasn't read Degradation. 0.0 That book is a WILD ride. Okay Leslie. I don't cry easy, so okee. That's been the issue that made me avoid it. lol
Oh, Paula, I mean to read Fearless one day. All the love, I know I have to eventually.
d|21474459]. It's not on my TBR, but it looks awesome, so it should be.And I also pick
for Tessa because everyone should..."Huh. I never read Frenched. I checked and that was a separate list of books I WANT to read because of recs. :) (Though the names are super similar!) This is my favorites. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
After much deliberation, I’m gonna read To Hate Adam Connor! And hopefully (at some point in the near future) master this book cover thingy y’all sent me tips on....
You did it! And that book was awesome. :) That book is how you do romcom.
Woohoo! I couldn’t tell it worked til I posted! I feel so proud!
Not sure what I'm going to pick from Tessa's list yet..... I've read so many of her favs and loved them too! I have to check some of the others out. For Tessa, I pick Mists of the Serengeti.....I freaking loved that book!

Well,not sure how I managed to do that. I am choosing
then...and Frenched cuz I wanna!!!
OK. I think I'll take The Mafia And His Angel: Part 1
* bites fingernail nervously* But at least i know it's a cliffhanger going in.Aaaaannnnndddd for you Tessa, I back up Paula. You gotta read Fearless
I can't believe you haven't read it yet either. What the actual heck?
Jean--thanks for letting me copy and paste because I couldn't have said it better myself.For Tessa, I also pick Mists of the Serengeti.....I freaking loved that book!

The Learning Hours by Sara Ney for myself... and for you, dear Tessa... the count is something ridiculous that I will post at the bottom of the pretty graphic that I will post here in a second, so I threw a curve ball in, just to screw with random.org. My pick for you, is
Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas.

And I think now that we've figured it out, the rules of this challenge are pretty simple.
1) Between now and the 31st of May, members express their interest in participating in the ATF challenge for June.
2) Sometime on June 1st, it will be randomized by one of our illustrious randomizers to see who the lucky 6th woman of honor will be.
3) She will post the link to her All Time Favorite Books list (which could be her 5 stars list... or it could be something new that she makes up specifically for this challenge, however, it should include at least 10 books, in fact the more books the better). I will also link the Honoree's list here in this first post.
4) Then this is where it gets fun... the Honoree could deign to 'help' pick a book for each of us that are participating to read from that list that we haven't read, if we have it or can easily get our hands on it. Or...she could just let us run amok and pick from all of her favorite choices.
For example: here is the link to Grey's All Time Favorites List
And last, but certainly not least...
5) The next super fun part of this challenge is that everyone else gets to throw a suggestion into the pot for the honoree, one of their 5 star suggestions, which will then be tossed into the randomizer again (or the honoree can just choose one, whichever floats her boat!) But this way, the honoree also has an All Time Favorite to read this month.
Clear as mud? Please ask if you have any questions, as we continue to iron out the details!
