📚NOVEMBER 2023 Dusty Bookshelf Challenge:💈

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: NOVEMBER 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.
