Happy Long weekend everyone - and for those who don't have one, I'm sorry you don't get to have one. It's a good group like always and here are your selector/selectee matchups for the month. We are Science fiction/fantasy heavy this month so I purposefully matched some people up who into it - partly to see what comes of it and partly for my enjoyment ... On the first I will put up the June game thread so hold onto your selections until Wednesday. You will have until then to select your book(s) and worry whether your selections are good enough.
As always, if you aren't in this month's game, yet and you wish to play, PM me and I will arrange for one of my minions to make a selection for you ....

| luvmy4brats | Leslie | I'll be honest, I'm the most high-maintenance player in this game. I love being a picker (and I think I do pretty well in that department) but I have a harder time as a pickee. Ready to take me on? Okay, here's a few parameters
| No Deal Breakers | |
| Leslie | samanthawarren | Fantasy (a LOT of fantasy), a little sci-fi (mostly Star Warsy stuff) | Can't be over 4.99 (I'm poor), I'd really prefer it be an indie author so I can use it for the ABC Indie challenge, nothing over 100k words, nothing overly political or religious, no non-fiction. Nothing excessively gay. When I read, I like to be entertained. Wow, I seem really picky compared to a lot of people here. | |
| samanthawarren | Tripp | historical fiction; chick lit; family saga;
drama; suspense; thrillers; religion is
OK if it is presented culturally, not to
convert. | Horror and any creature that is typically associated with horror (vampires, zombies, werewolves, etc.). | |
| Tripp | KindleGirl | Drama; Mystery/thrillers; Contemporary fiction | Non-fiction; Sci-fi or fantasy that has no touch of realism in it. Gotta have a link to the real world. | |
| KindleGirl | fadedrainbows | Paranormal Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Chick Lit
My Goodreads | I am a college student, so less than 1000 pages
would be lovely! And if it stays under the $10
limit, that would be amazing. | |
| fadedrainbows | Geoffrey | Science Fiction; Fantasy; Alternate History; gay themed books. You can find me on goodreads here. | No Deal Breakers | |
| Geoffrey | NogDog | Science Fiction, Fantasy (not paranormal romance), Science fact (esp. physics and astronomy), Military history
Here is my Goodreads | Romance (the genre), "chick lit", excessive sex/violence (for an undefined value of "excessive"), "Preachy" - pushing a particular religious or political viewpoint, Priced over $9.99, Part of a long series or unfinished series (not necessarily a deal-breaker if really, really good  ), Devoid of any real artistry (just prose with no effective imagery, metaphors, etc.) | |
| NogDog | MoyJoy | My goodreads
For me price is not a deal breaker so my
selector can do more than 9.99 if they're
passionate about it. | historical/non-fiction; TALKING ANIMALS! | |
