OOh congrats Paula and Grey. Have a great day, ladies. I'm gonna go out in the cold and hang out my washing then I'll come back into the warm and peruse your list, Paula. Fun!!
The link to Paula's list (in message #17) doesn't work for me so I just went to your favs shelf Paula. We have got quite a few in common that I loved too. For my July ATF read I've picked Ghosted

Neither have I...
Though, in my defense, the movie really made me not want to read it. That little boy with the red curls lying dead just killed me. No idea why, but he looked so sweet and innocent, yet he was dead. :(

Thanks for the anniversary wishes... we're pretty laidback today, it was a billion degrees outside and we decided nope on going outside, LOL! I know... craziness, but... meh. The heat index at one point today was something ridiculous like 107 or something... nope. No, thank you... I'll stay in my nice air conditioned, climate-controlled house, thank you very much, LOL!
I'm going to read

What I usually do... is look at my All-Time Favorites list (and sometimes my 4's, 4.5 and 5 star lists too)... and then see which ones Paula *or the chosen one for that month* hasn't read, but still owns... (Paula is pretty awesome and has them on her list that she has them... most of us here... if they're on our TBR list it means we have them... or have access to them somehow...can borrow from a friend or the library or something) so then just narrow it down that way!

Yep, that's totally cool, you can do it that way too!!!
Happy anniversary Grey! And hope you had a great birthday Paula! It's great that we are picking from her list!I pick something I've had for a long, long time:
The were so many I wanted to pick for Paula, but I'm going with:
And knowing Paula, our little speed reader, she'll read all the books we pick for her!
Grey wrote: "Holy cow!!! That's madness to me! I really, really try to read the books before the watching the movie, for that very reason, Tessa... because I know that something like that will happen. I actuall..."That's why I haven't read Game of Thrones yet. I'm stuck on a sad part that I know is going to happen.
I'll do Hyde and Seek (Hyde #1) by Layla Frost
For Paula I choose Playing with Monsters (Playing with Monsters, #1)

"Oooooh. :) Can you believe she hasn't read any of these books?"
Whoa...wait... what???
I may have to change my pick for myself... I don't think I have Sempre... I thought I did, but it's not coming up on my kindle. I have my old old nook account to look at, but then I might be SOL unless I hit up the library, which, that is an option actually... hmmm...

And I think now that we've figured it out, the rules of this challenge are pretty simple.
1) Between now and the 30th of June, members express their interest in participating in the ATF challenge for July.
2) Sometime on July 1st, it will be randomized by one of our illustrious randomizers to see who the lucky 7th 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!

The honoree for July 2018 is ... Paula! Paula's ATF list
