For once I am finished with this month's book. What a surprise, huh?

Congrats to Adrienne and I love your pick. I just looked at the list and I have read several of the books on the first page, but I also own several others that I really want to read.

Hhmm... I still have 2 weeks right? With one public holiday day coming right up ;p

Thing is I reserve a number of books from the library weeks ago and they all decided to come in this past week!

Adrienne has chosen Karen of the Bookworm to be our June Shelf Picker.

Karen has chosen our June shelf but is having internet problems so we'll find out sometime over the weekend, hopefully :)

Sorry, Karen & Julia, I will have to overrule this one because the shelf picker should have been chosen from the May reviews thread. Julia did not post a review on this thread.

Please Do review the How To, if unsure. It does state that, Their choice of will be limited to those members who have read & posted their reviews in the monthly book discussion (of the month previous to the currently active one; ie. if it's October now, then for September reviews).

Sorry, Julia! I hope you get picked next time!

Karen, could you please review the May reviews and pick July Shelf Picker from there?

Thank you :)


message 1017: by Julia (new)

Julia (juliace) Thank you both Karen & Tien!

Having been a member of the group for such a short period of time, I was very surprised that I had been elected as shelf picker, but I understand the rules to make it fair to everyone.

I'm looking forward to participating in next months shelf reviews.


message 1018: by Karen (new)

Karen (karenofthebookworm) Oops, sorry. I should have reread the rules before I made my choice. I'll have another look.

Thanks, guys :)

For July's shelf, I pick Adventure. This is one of my favorite genres, so I hope everyone finds some good selections!

Wow! I have read almost everything on the first page.

I usually try to find a book that I have planned to read for another group, and I did but it took me to pages 8 & 9. Most of the previous pages were "Read" and "Want to Read".

I found two: one is a library book, so getting it will be the determiner.

Library: The Book of Lost Things

Own: Tiger's Curse

Bea - The Book of Lost Things is great.

LynnB | 1769 comments Great choice, Talia! There's always something to find in Adventure.


message 1026: by Karen (new)

Karen (karenofthebookworm) Excellent choice, Thalia. I love adventure and the books that I had planned on reading next month are all on this shelf. :-)


message 1027: by Julia (new)

Julia (juliace) I think I'm going to read City of Bones and Angels & Demons. Looks like there are alot of interesting choices on this list; I may be adding to my TR shelf.

I have several on the first three shelves, so that's an excellent choice :)

Looks good -- except you listed me for Sept 2013 though I don't think anyone has been picked yet! It's nice seeing a list to see where we've been.

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9032 comments Mod
oops, wasn't expecting anyone to check it out yet though Julia did pick you for Sept, Lynn. it was supposed to be her news, sorry, Julia! Congrats, Lynn ;)


message 1044: by Julia (new)

Julia (juliace) @ LynnB - yes Lynn, you were my pick for the Sept Shelf picker. Sorry I wasn't able to post it earlier.

@ Tien - no problem.

LOL! I just figured you had accidentally pasted it from another box, Tien. Thank you JuliaC! I will put on my thinking cap and figure out what shelf to pick.


message 1046: by LynnB (new)

LynnB | 1769 comments OK, I have a few ideas, I'll have a decision by Tuesday or Wednesday (lots of stuff going on this weekend).

Julia (juliace) Have a Great Weekend!

LynnB | 1769 comments I have chosen our September shelf! I think we will "start at the beginning" by working on debut novels. Hopefully, everyone can find something there.

D.G. | 1370 comments Wow! Very interesting! Let me check what I'll find there. ;)
