Hopefully life is back to normal as I put a few weeks of 3rd shifts behind me ... so let's read books for for fun and profit.  Here come the rules: When signing up:1. Sign up runs from the 20th through the 28th 2. State your Usual genres 3. List any Deal-breakers (genres, cost, size, etc.) 4. If you want to use last month's information again, just let me know .... 5. Be filled with anticipation and a little dread Picking a book:1. You'll get your selectee's name and info on the 29th 2. Pick a book you love and adore, is outside your person's usual genres, not a Deal breaker, 3. and that is no more than - $9.99 ... 4. You get to think about it and stew until the game thread is created on the first day of the month … 5. Stress out over whether your selection is good enough 6. Add a second selection if you want – or don’t – it’s all good. 7. I'll create the game thread in the Book Klub on the 1st where you will post your selection(s). Once you get your book:1. Be surprised at the choice and maybe a little unsure 2. If you get two selections, let us know which one you’re choosing 2.5 Or choose both 3. Read your book (no cheating) 4. Come back to the thread often to tell us what you think. 5. And most of all, have fun ... Other rules1. You have veto power over your selection - if its just too far out for you, ask for a new one - no one will hate you 2. If you're late to sign up, no worries, we have back-up selector minions - just PM me ... 3. If life happens and your selector doesn't give you a book by the 5th, a new selector will be assigned for you 4. We're all grown folks here, so just act like one .... |

I took "a month" off that turned into several months, but I'm finally back and ready to play again! My usual genres are: paranormal (with or without romance) and contemporary fiction (i.e., whatever is currently circulating around book clubs). No dealbreakers. |

Happy Weekend Y'all.... here are the selectors and selectees for August. I will be putting up the Game thread on the first so you have the weekend to stew over your choices ..... and, as always, there's still time to sign up if you're interested - just PM me and work you into the rotation. | Selector | Selectee | Genres | Dealbreakers | | Annalog | 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.). | | Basilius | imallbs | Mystery/Detective; American and Western European History
This is supposed to be a link to my Goodreads list but I'm not promising anything. | No Deal Breakers | | Berrytastic | KingAl | Sci-fi/fantasy, Mystery/thrillers. Here's my Goodreads | Romance | | ciscokid | Annalog | Science Fiction; Mystery; Fantasy, I have an account on Goodreads | No Deal Breakers | | djgross | Tuttle | Fantasy, Science Fiction | I'm going to have to set some sort of monetary
limit. This may be edited but for now lets say
$5. Nothing extremely depressing. | | dpinmd | Basilius | Science Fiction; Military History | Romance (Paranormal or otherwise), Horror, and Religion (with intent to convert). | | drenfrow | dpinmd | paranormal (with/without romance);
contemporary fiction (i.e. the latest thing
circulating around book clubs) | No Deal Breakers. | | Emily King | drenfrow | Mystery, Fantasy/Sci Fi, Science/History of Science | extreme violence/gore, extreme sadness,
horror/scary stuff, You can check out my books
on Goodreads: Donna's Books | | fadedrainbows | wtsfox | science fiction, fiction, adventure | religion, gay romance | | Geoffrey | Berrytastic | crime book reader and have recently discovered historical fiction such as pillars of the earth. | apart from a barbara cartland style romantic novel i am prepared to try most things . | | imallbs | RiddleMeThis | Romance; Science Fiction/Fantasy;
Murder/Crime Mystery | Religion(allusion is ok; but no books who's
story line is trying to save my soul); Politics;
Non-fiction; And if it is a series it must be the
first one in the series | | kaotickitten | Solace | Fantasy, Adventure, Thriller | No Deal Breakers I need something light length and story-wise | | KingAl | kaotickitten | Christian Romances, YA fantasy | No Deal Breakers | | Leslie | djgross | Mystery, suspense | No Deal Breakers | | MoyJoy | 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. | | RiddleMeThis | ciscokid | paranormal thrillers, horror, romantic suspence | Political, gay romance, short story compilations | | Solace | 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! | | Tripp | 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 | | Tuttle | Geoffrey | Science Fiction; Fantasy; Alternate History; gay themed books. You can find me on goodreads here. | No Deal Breakers | | wtsfox | Emily King | Urban Fantasy; Paranormal; Horror; Mystery
here is my Goodreads | Non-Fiction; Religious / political with the intent
of change; Harlequin-style romance. Chick Lit.
I would prefer an indie or something less expensive,
if possible. |
