2) An assigned person will pick TWO BOOKS from your post series.

4) You have one month: NOVEMBER 2021 to try to read one of the chosen books. (*if you don't read your book this month, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT)

BONUS: Please pick from this list: DB Bonus
Hello everyone! I just joined the group last month. Looking forward to participating here. :)Severina's Dusty Bookshelf
Bonus: just pick a third book from the list above
I picked 56 Days, Murder Most Frothy, and bonus book the Zombie Survival Guide for Chelle.
Debbie G picked Rescue Matters and Seven Perfect Things for me. (Bonus book: The Library Book)
Rescue Matters is the true story of Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue, a struggling bootstrap organization run originally out of someone's garage that rescues, treats and rehomes stray dogs in an impoverished rural community in North Dakota. It tugged on my heartstrings big time.
Seven Perfect Things is about a girl who rescues seven puppies after she witnesses someone throw them in a river. It's a sweet, heartwarming tale of love in many forms.
I loved both of these books!
I put The Library Book on my list because, though I don't own it, it's always available at the library and I just never bother to check it out. Of course, now that I've listed it as being on my dusty bookshelf it's been checked out by someone else. Lesson learned! (If it comes back by the end of the month I will still grab it!)
Marty's November Dusty BookshelfI pick for Connie:
Michelle picks for me:
Bonus: something off of my Suspense list.
Trina's November Dusty Bookshelf
