FEBRUARY 2023 Dusty Bookshelf Challenge
Mod
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 5 books.
2) CHOOSE TURTLE (one book) or HARE (two books) to indicate your reading speed so your picker will know whether to choose one book or two books.
3) An assigned person will pick ONE or TWO BOOKS (depending on the indicated reading speed) from your shelf.
4) Bonus Book: Pick a Genre and the assigned person will pick a book from the GOODREADS Choice Award book list for that specific genre.
CATEGORIES: Fiction; Mystery & Thriller, Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Humor, Memoir & Autobiography, History & Biography, Romance, Graphic Novels & Comics, Debut Novel, Poetry, Nonfiction, Young Adult Fiction, Young Adult Fantasy, Middle Grade & Children
5) You have one month: JANUARY 2023 to try to read the chosen books. (*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.

I’m picking [bookcover:Louisiana Longshot|18663492] because I love that series and
because in another group we were just discussing how horrible that cover is. I’ll get your bonus pick when I get home from work. I’m doing this on my phone because GR is blocked at my office, so navigation is tricky.
LaurLa for you I pick

Oh, sorry, I just realized you specified turtle and I picked two books! Read whichever. Your bonus I picked because the cover looks so much like the cover on White Trash Zombie -- hey, it's a theme, sort of, don't judge! LOL...
