Okay, here are my picks for Group #1: August 24th to December 20th:

0/4

Sturgeon: The River Knows by Amanda Quick
Harvest: The Cowboy by Jayne Ann Krentz
Hunter: Three Little Secrets by Liz Carlyle
Beaver: Lone Wolf by Kathryn Lasky

If it's ok, I'll edit this entry if I pick books for the other groups ahead of time.

[Vanessa]

Umm, question:

Do we read the books in order by the date of the moon within the group? In other words, can I read all 4 books in the first group anytime between 8/24 and 12/20, or do I have to read, like the sturgeon moon from 8/24 to 9/23 and then not start the harvest moon until 9/23?

[Dee]

you can read them in any order (re. moons in each period)...but you can only read the 4 moons for the assigned period during that time...does that make sense?

[Dina]

Okay, I'm in. I'm going to start as a Moon Walker and see how it goes.

**If you are participating** - i'm going to change the header of this thread tomorrow...you only need to list each section at a time

[BJ Rose]

I'm starting as a Moon-Walker.

Group 1 - August 24 to December 20


Sturgeon Moon - book that involves water: water scene on the cover, setting in a boat/ship, character’s job that involves water, or a Viking Romance
Harvest Moon - book sets in farm/ranch, character is a rancher/farmer, or has a rural scene on the cover or a Western Romance
Hunter’s Moon: number in the title: Three Nights with a Scoundrel by Tessa Dare
Beaver Moon - has an animal on the cover, or has a ‘significant’ animal character in the story


only one sure title so far; working on the others

[Sherrie]

Sounds fun, I will start out as Moon Walker and maybe increase later.

[Jacalyn]

OK, I'm going to give this a go. I'm going to have to figure out my list based off the roughly 80 bazillion books on my TBR. ;)

My question is, can we bang out all the books in one fell swoop of manic reading or are we supposed to only read by the quarter breakdowns? IE No Group 2 books in the first quarter?

I'm going to be conservative and say Moon-Walker just because I have not been able to give my full TBR a look-see based on these categories. Here's hoping I can do that and more!

[Dee]

only read by third (each section is 4 months...) - so 4 books in each section if you are a moon walker...so no, no group 2 books in group 1

[Dina]

Delicious Dee, is Surrender by Pamela Clare considered a Western Romance?

[Jacalyn]

That's what I thought, but i wanted to clarify. :) I'm going to have to work to make some of these work out. But I"m gonna give it a whirl all the same! :) I have no real game plan for my reading currently, just trying to get through all of these books! So I could definitely hold back a book until the right time period. :)

From that All About Romance website:

Road Romances devote large sections to journeys, either by land or by sea. They are filled with adventure, danger, and excitement. Often the hero and heroine travel alone, allowing them to know one another intimately and in unique ways.

Inspiration: (and one of the reasons I loved this book)

"I'm homesick all the time," she said, still not looking at him "I just don't know where home is. There's this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it's like chasing the moon - just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon. I grieve and try to move on, but then the damn thing comes back the next night, giving me hope of catching it all over again."
— Sarah Addison Allen (The Girl Who Chased the Moon)
