Mod
💈 EIGHTH Shelf for 2019 ~ SUMMER TIME
Please post your shelves. NO COMMENTS in this thread please. After I post the pair, it will add a link to the shelf, and then you can add discussion comments.
How It Will Work:
1) Please only post no more than 10 books that you would like to read this month.
*minimum 4 books.
2) An assigned person will FIRST pick TWO BOOKS from your post series.
3) SECOND, the assigned person will recommend ONE book that you share in common. (Use compare books)
OR a new release (no older than 60 days from the date we pick)
4) You have one month: AUGUST 2019 to try to read one of the chosen books. You can read ALL THREE if you would like (*if you don't read your book this month, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT)
5) Please try to select for your pair ASAP as we all get excited and waiting is torture to some.

First off, yays for unintentionally picking two Kindle books from my ever increasing pile. Now I'll whittle it down to nothing in no time flat. *wanders over to Amazon to look for more free ebooks* Or not. But at least they both sound really good. ^_^
As for the In-Cryptid series, I adored the first book, and kept meaning to get the next one, but I have a very bad habit of getting tons of books from the library shelves so I try to avoid making reserves. I keep trying to stop, but the books all sound so interesting.
Thanks for the awesome picks. Can't wait to read 'em.
