I voted for work lit at first, but could happily switch to espionage.

[Amanda]

Oh, that was an easy one for me! I have currently read about 4 out of 30 world literature books from my reading plan. Not sure the ones I have out will be on the list, but I can only hope ...

[Lahni]

I only see 28 books on the laught out loud shelf...

[D.G.]

When I checked it had over 5K books:

Hey guys,Ebony has had some family emergencies so she couldn't pick for April. Please vote on the poll. I'll change the end date for Monday (when i can get on pc).

I'll see if Ebony will be able to choose someone for May.

That shelf is "laugh out loud" the one in the poll is "laught out loud" with a "t".

I didn't even see that 't' in there, Lahni. Good catch! I would assume that Tien wouldn't pick a shelf with 28 books for us to read and she meant another shelf (either the one I posted or others with a similar name) but she can come in and confirm.

I'm thinking it was an accident too.

[Tien]

sorry, yes, just a typo... there should be over 100 pages of book for this shelf. I've fixed the typo.

looks like world lit is ahead by 1 point!! If you haven't voted, please head over to the polls -it'll close tomorrow (if I've set it right -I'm a little confused as to whether GR will follow Aussie time or US time, :p)

[D.G.]

Vote everybody!

Ok, I have finished all my reading for the month and a BIG pile of splurge books from vacation are staring me in the face. Waiting...Wondering what that new theme will be and if one of my new books will fall into that category.

[Tien]

FYI, Ebony is still caught up so she's asked me to pick for her. I've messaged Sarah (to pick for May) and she has let me know that she'll look for a shelf soon.

[Sarah]

Hi everyone, I've had a look through the top shelves and decided on Gothic for next month.

I hope everyone can find something they like as it covers a large number of sub-genres... romance, mystery, horror etc.

Also, Tien I've popped a picture in the group photos to use as the group icon.

[Lahni]

Oooohh.. What a great shelf choice! I'm excited!

[Amanda]

Lots of TBRs on that list, but I haven't spotted anything from my current library borrows yet. Still, I only looked at 3 pages .... :)

You're a legend, Sarah! pic looks fantastic :) cheers!

[D.G.]

Awesome, awesome choice, Sarah!

Off to check the shelf!

[Lauren]

Wonderful pick, Sarah. The problem will be narrowing down the choices :0)

[Sarah]

Yay, so pleased people are excited about the shelf. :)
It's a daunting responsibility!

[Susan]

I have a question about book choices & editions. On page 2, this book appears: Marina, by Zafon. It's in Spanish, and my Spanish isn't up to that (I still read at a much simpler level). Is it ok if I choose Marina, which is in English, without hunting to see whether it appears later on on the shelf?

I don't think it matters which edition of the book you're looking at, there are still 57 people who have shelved it as gothic so read it in any edition you like :)

[Amanda]

I think we must all have our heads in too many books right now - it's almost June!!!

Gothic didn't cover any of my library books, and I have been so weighed down with trying to get them all finished in time ( I didn't, and I still have 8 on my shelf ! )

Hoping I can pick up again with June, so hit me up with a shelf please!! :D

[D.G.]

I was very lucky...I found a couple of books on my TBR that fit the theme and the one I read turned out to be pretty good!

I'm looking forward to next month's theme. :)

[D.G.]

No shelf picker yet? June is almost here! :)

[Tien]

Sarah has picked someone and I've PM-ed that person but I've not yet heard back! I send another one and if no response by tomorrow, then I'll put up a precautionary poll... sorry, guys...

[Tien]

**drum rolls**

We have a shelf! Cyberpunk

You can find the thread, here

Is choosing the shelf-picker in process for this month? I'm beginning to think about what books to borrow for next month.

It is... Jane has picked Lahni and I've PM-ed her.

Hopefully, she'll let us know by the weekend.

Hopeful..."

Great! Thanks.

[Lahni]

Sorry I'm a little tardy seeing this. We are still settling from our recent move. I'm pick one tomorrow! I'm excited!

[D.G.]

Lahni! Where are you? Waiting for the shelf with baited breath!

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I can't wait either. I hope she has time to pick soon.

And Lahni - hope your move is going well.

[Lahni]

And the shelf for July is...... Family. I thought it seemed fitting since it's summer here and a great time to be with family.

Sorry I can't link to the shelf. My daughter has been using my computer for her summer school and I don't know what she did but the web addresses no longer show up for me and I don't know how to fix it!

[Amanda]

this one ?

[D.G.]

Ooh, really good choice! Of course, the book I'm reading right now is in the second page of that shelf!

Still lots of good choices in there.

Nice choice, lots to choose from!

[Dogsandbooksanddogsandbooks]

Good choice. I just set up several to get from the library. Now I just have to wait and see which comes in first. In the meantime, I had started a book from this list just a couple of days ago Leaving Time

Yes! Thank you, Amanda, for linking it!

[Susan]

The shelf-picker for October will be D.G. I've let her know, so she'll have plenty of time to choose something for us.

[D.G.]

Thanks, Susan! I'm excited to pick.

I'll probably something during the weekend...I have lots of ideas! :)

[Tien]

Wow! Thanks for being on top of things, you two!

[D.G.]

Ok, we have a shelf for October!

In honor of Halloween, let's read from (TADA!): Supernatural

Thanks Tien for keeping that spreadsheet! I had a few ideas that had been selected already so it really helped to pick something new. ;)

lol, I think that's a hint that I need to update it, ha ha ha... it's okay, I know I'm always a few months behind ;p

[edited: um, well, it seems spreadsheet is up to date! I don't remember doing that, lol...]

Great choice, btw! Lookin' fwd to Oct. Thanks, DG xo

[D.G.]

LOL, no! It really was up to date!!

[Tien]

Ah, it wasn't me! Gosh, thought I was totally losing my marbles!

Thank you, Susan :D
Much appreciated!

[D.G.]

I totally forgot to look for a picture! I found two and uploaded them - I'm not sure they are great but one of them should do.

Sorry about that!

Thanks, D.G.! At least you have remembered! I've forgotten :p

[D.G.]

I'd like to see if I can find a better one this weekend. That one is really not that good - sorry about that .:(

[D.G.]

Oh Tien! I found a better image! Is the one with the bunny in the suit with the swords. Whatever the hell that is, it's definitely supernatural, LOL!
