Rules: Did you know there is going to be a Blue Moon in August? Yup. In honor of that -- and the sunny days of Summer -- find four (4) books that have a sun, moon, stars, a planet, or a Zodiac sign on the cover or in the title. Or has a blue cover!

Ok, Stud, I'm in! (But I think you have the title mixed up. It still says, "Gallant Gents".)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

LOL! It does, Donna! I'm in too.

[Donna]

Stud must be distracted by his training schedule. But I'll forgive anything with those arms!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

LMBO! Good one, Donna! ☺

[Donna]

Ha! Ha! Sorry Stud, I just noticed something else. Shouldn't we be going until end of September? :)

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Right you are, Miss Donna! I am truly in love with you. Seriously. Are you single? I like a gal sharper than I am. (More earning potential.) See anything else?

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Makes you wonder what Misses Lisa Kay, CaroB, & Heather were doing instead of proofing this one, does it not?

I hope I've got every one: Miss Elishia, Miss Robin, Miss Shosho, Miss Joann, and Miss Lara. You all let me know if I messed up.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Huh , I don't get notifications from GR anymore!!!

[Lina]

shosho, was that your choice or a goodreads glitch?

A goodreads glitch , do you have the same problem? Did you get the notification for RLFTCI Sonny Daze message?

[Lina]

I'm not getting the emails at all, it's very annoying. With some threads, when I log into goodreads, I'll see the little red notification message at the top of the page, and with yet other threads I'm not only not getting a notification email, but no notification indicator/message at the top of the page.

[Lara]

Okay, I've figured out which books I'll read, and have already finished one and started another.

Sun: White Lies
Moon: Safe Harbor 07/08/12
Stars: Bewitching
Planet: Games of Command

[Lina]

I'm loving the last two covers Lara, and noticed you're continuing the Drake Sisters for this as well! Good way to catch up on a series!

Thanks, I like them too. And I have now finished the Drake Sisters and started on the follow-up--Sisters of the Heart, which is also in Sea Haven and features some of the Drake family. So far so good. Of course, only the first two books are out, but I ended up liking the first so much I have already started the second.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Looks like Sonny Daze (Online Elf) updated everyone with hyperlinks to their posts. Hmmm... he isn't much of a talker, is he?

I really need to figure out what I'm going to read for this challenge. I thought for sure I'd have come across something that fit by now.

[Donna]

Hi, All! I finished my first book for this challenge:

Blue cover 7/8/12

Loved this final installment in the Hunger Games trilogy!

(Glad to see I'm not the only one with notification problems. I'm not getting notifications for any new discussions I join.)

[Lina]

Oh no, Donna! I thought GR had fixed the problems :-(

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Nah. It is still an issue for some. I'm also getting "Alice" when I try to look in a new thread. A lot!

[Lina]

You whizzed through that one Dawn! What did you think of it?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Absolutely LOVED it. I'd read the Hathaways already but didn't realize they were a spin off. I am currently reading Again the Magic since I didn't realize there was a prequel. The library has the next two on hold for me as well. It will be a Kleypas kind of month I do belive.
