Yes I know most of the books I have read before because I do not like most of the categories. so went with books I liked rather then taking a chance with books I did not know.

I finished Devil in Winter today and it was really good. I used to read Victorian romances all the time, and I forgot how much I enjoyed them (when they're done right).

[Yvette]

I finished!!! So what do we do now?

[AerinLuvs]

Yvette, tell Dee in the sign up thread that you want another Group assignment. If you finish it and can rank them by the end of the month, great. If not, then you read some hopefully good books! :-)

[Dee]

Yvette - if you want to attempt another group let me know and I can put you in one

[Dee]

when it comes to ranking your final books - consider 2 things - 1) your enjoyment of the book and 2) how well the theme was presented/reflected through-out - so you could have a book that you enjoyed more, be lower ranked than one with the theme being a stronger role - if you have any questions, let me know

[Dee]

Yvette - I need you to post your final rankings

[Yvette]

Dee if it's possible I'll like to be assign to another group

[Dee]

you need to post in the group assignment thread please (for tracking purposes)

victorian Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage 4 stars
shapeshifters - bear/wolves Just One Drop 5 stars

I did enjoy this! I had never read a couple of the themes before and had fun finding new topics!

[Dee]

hey guys, as a reminder, this round finishes on Sunday at midnight - so you need to get your books done and ranked by then. I'll leave the threads open until Monday morning (Sept 1) - but then I'll be locking them so I can finalize the books to through to the next round

If you don't finish all your books, rank the ones that you have - the rest will just get a zero in the ranking scheme
