Hi, I'm new! I just joined the group a few months ago and have finally decided to participate in a challenge! This one looks awesome, but since I'm kind of a busy bee I'm gonna air on the side of caution and only do 4 maybe 5 books. I'll see how much time I have and try and squeeze in the 5th book.

Welcome Katie! I hope you enjoy the challenge, but beware - they can be addicting! =)

Thank you :-) I wanted to join a book club, but there aren't any in my area. I think this website is great way of filling my book club void and I don't have to leave my couch or get dressed LOL

Yep, you can read andchat in your jammies! Not to mention read what you want! (I frequently find I don't care for the books chosen by my local book club, I actually only read about one in four.)

Happy Birthday Brenda! (July 4)
Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey 07/10/12
03. Geography: Read a book whose author, character or setting is from Saudi Arabia (Middle East). Or because Saudi Arabia has all of these, read a book about a monarchy (royal family), oil, or desert.

04. 7th Month: Lets face it, not a lot of series are seven books long. Since seven is a prime number, read a book that is a prime number in a series or has a prime number of words in the title. For those of you aren't math geeks like me, a prime number is a number greater than one divisible only by itself and one - 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13... (Yeah, this is practically a freebie!)
The Perfect Poison by Amanda Quick 07/07/12
05. Fourth of July: Read a book with a Firecracker Heroine or a red, white and/or blue cover.
More than a Mistress by Mary Balogh 07/11/12

Slow Heat by Jill Shalvis 07/09/12

It's All Greek to Me by Katie MacAlister 07/17/12
08. I Forgot Day (July 2): Read a book that has been on your to-read list so long you forgot about it.
Down by the River by Robyn Carr 07/02/12
09. Ugly Truck Day (July 20): Read a book about a cowboy, construction worker, mechanic, set on a ranch, involves cars/trucks, or one that just has a cover with a guy that looks like he was out working on his truck. ~sigh~

Morning Comes Softly by Debbie Macomber
