Coralie | 1658 comments Adrienne has chosen me to pick the shelf for February. Now the cool change has come and I have survived the heat and feel human again I should be able to come to a decision over the weekend (I am currently trying to decide between four shelves).

Congrats Coralie. Can't wait to see what shelf you pick for next month!

Coralie | 1658 comments After much tought, I have chosen thought provoking for the February shelf.

Excellent choice! I've read a bunch of these but there are also quite few to go on my TBR list. Now I just have to figure out what to start with.

Interesting choice, Coralie! Let me see what I have in my TBR that fits the shelf.

D.G. | 1370 comments Lots of books from my 'get from library' shelf! Luckily, I also found tons of books from my TBR. This year my big push is reading books that have been on my TBR more than a year.

woah -I'm daunted even by the name of the shelf! ha ha ha, will look through and hopefully, there are books there that I've already chosen for ScatterShelves ;)

Wow! Lots of books from ScatterShelves are there! Found 4 on the first page alone. Now to choose where to start.

D.G. | 1370 comments Love the avi! Great choice, Coralie!

Robert Jones | 19 comments Coralie, your choice of topic is awesome. This pushes a few books that I've wanted to read forever to the top of my tbr.

Peace,

Thanks, Coralie. I looked around and came up with something I hope everyone will like. I find myself getting frustrated waiting for the next installment in a series I'm reading to be written. That led me to my choice of:

Stand Alone

for the March shelf. Hope you find some interesting choices!

Amy | 2241 comments It's that time again...April is approaching quickly so a new shelf picker is in order. I just selected and messaged Julia O. Can't wait to see what she selects. Congrats!

I am looking forward to what she picks, too. Thanks for getting that done, Amy. As you say, April is fast approaching.

I have not joined in a on Pick-A-Shelf month for a little while. Looking forward to seeing what April will bring.

Did you get some confirmation back that she saw your message and is working on it, Amy?

You read my mind, Susan. I was just thinking that I haven't heard a word from Julia O nor has she posted here. Maybe one of the mods can advise on what action to take...


message 1123: by LynnB (new)

LynnB | 1769 comments Do we have anyone picking a shelf yet? Just curious as I was looking at choosing my books for next month.


message 1124: by Amy (new)

Amy | 2241 comments No word from Julia O. yet. Should I pick someone else?


message 1125: by LynnB (new)

LynnB | 1769 comments Amy wrote: "No word from Julia O. yet. Should I pick someone else?"

I would. I think in the past that is what has been done when no one has replied in a day or two. I'd email JuliaO, too, so she knows that you had to pick someone else.


message 1126: by Amy (new)

Amy | 2241 comments I just checked the rules and this is what it says:

To assist in timeliness, we would request the next shelf picker to be picked & possibly notified by around the 20th day of the month (give or take 1-2 days) at the latest. If the chosen Shelf Picker doesn't respond within five days from the first notice, a group poll will be posted with a list of shelves chosen by the moderators for a group vote on the next month's shelf.

I picked Julia O. and notified her here and via PM on March 17, but she has yet to respond. Looks like the above rule must be invoked.

Ah ha! I figured there was a written rule somewhere :)

My apologies, all... I've just been too exhausted to do anything else but work, eat & sleep (oh I do shower at times in between ;p)

I've set up a poll with a somewhat random shelves... pretty sure we've not done any of these shelves. I did check the google doc though with my babybrain, it's possible that I've missed things. Let me know, if I did.

April Shelf - Poll

My vote made it a tie between two.


message 1131: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie (laundry_piles) So I've never participated in this group, I get so many notifications it's crazy hard to keep up. Can someone tell me what this thread means? We read a book based on the "shelf that's picked" is that correct?

You've got it, Stephanie. This is where we will announce the shelf for the next month, then we will post a thread for people to list what they want to read on that shelf. Last, we will put up two threads, one for short reviews of the books that you end up reading, and one for posting quotes from the threads.

Great, thank you!


message 1134: by Amy (new)

Amy | 2241 comments Since my choice for April shelf picker never replied, Tien asked that I try again in May. The person I have selected is Nadine. I will send her a PM now to let her know.


message 1135: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 1370 comments Looking forward to your pick, Nadine!


message 1136: by Nadine (new)

Nadine Moger | 19 comments Hi, everyone!

The shelf I picked for May is ...
Collections of Short Stories

I hope you like it! :)


message 1137: by D.G. (last edited Apr 15, 2014 02:01PM) (new)

D.G. | 1370 comments Insteresting choice! But don't you have to pick a shelf instead of a list? Shelves tend to have a lot more books.


message 1138: by Bea (new)

Bea | 5296 comments Mod
Perhaps this link will work for the shelf

Short Story Collection

Thanks for picking so quickly, Nadine. I love short stories, but Bea and D.G. are right, we need to go for the list, so I will use the one that Bea listed. I can't wait, I have so many short story collections that are on the list.

FYI, I've PM Nadine last week though I've just looked at her profile today and there doesn't seem to be any activity for the past 1.5 weeks. She's probably busy but for the sake of timeliness, if she hasn't responded by Friday, I'll do a random draw for the June Shelf Picker.


message 1141: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9032 comments Mod
I've not heard from Nadine at all so I've done a random draw and have pm the shelf Picker. I've asked for Shelf to be announced by Monday.
Have a terrific weekend, everyone xx

LynnB | 1769 comments Congrats to the new shelf-picker! Can't wait to see what you choose.


Dogsandbooksanddogsandbooks Hello everyone,
I've picked beach-reads for the month of June. I could use both a light read and the beach to go with it right about now!

Sure am, Lynn. Just spent the last hour looking up all my challenge books on the new library system. Might have to re-think some of my plans. :)

Charity | 577 comments Awesome pick! Can't wait to get reading...there are a lot that I haven't read or even considered on this shelf for me.


message 1150: by Melissa (new)

Melissa I am tickled that Debi has chosen me as the shelf picker for July! In honor of Independence Day and Bastille Day, I thought that Alternative History would be a fun twist. It will challenge me to try something new (or encourage me to catch up on some series that have gotten away from me)!
