Where the heck did the 20th go? Shot right past without a December thread. Well kids, it's time to sign up again ....  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'm in again. Usual genres: Horror, Paranormal/Supernaturl Thrillers, Apocalyptic fiction, Some Sci Fi...my taste in books is actually pretty broad....these are just my favorites. Deal breakers: Erotica and homosexual romance. Please no long and involved books this month and nothing too expensive. Life is pretty crazy right now.

The last few months have been very poor for me in terms of reading time infact the only books i have completed are the books i have been recommended in here but even so i will have to keep going as i enjoy the challenge of this club.So i am in with the usual caveats

Me me me. Can I add a deal breaker of classics, please? It seems the past two months I have gotten them and they're okay, but they just really don't hold my interest  |

I would like to play again with the same usuals and Horror as a deal breaker. I won't be around a computer again until the 3rd or 4th of December so if that won't work, count me out for December.
Thanks.

Buenos Dios, Todos. I tried to give a little extra time for sign-up due to the holiday weekend but it's past time so here are the selectors and selectees for December. Please keep in mind that if you still want to play, PM me and don't worry cuz I got chu. I'll try to post the game thread early on the 1st - unlike last time. | Selector | Selectee | Genres | Dealbreakers | | Annalog | kaotickitten | ya, christian romances, science fiction, zombies, apocolptic | Erotica, M/M Romances, atheist themes | | Berrytastic | Annalog | Science Fiction; Mystery; Fantasy, I have an account on Goodreads | No Deal Breakers | | ciscokid | Geoffrey | Science Fiction; Fantasy; Alternate History; gay themed books. You can find me on goodreads here. | No Deal Breakers - I would love one of your favorite, go-to comfort reads

My Goodreads account
| No Deal Breakers | | Geoffrey | fadedrainbows | Paranormal Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Chick Lit
My Goodreads | Classics | | imallbs | Tuttle | Fantasy, Science Fiction (primarily classic science fiction) | Love triangle as primary plot element, extremely depressing
Other notes: I cannot commit to reading a book costing me >$5 on my current lack of income. Feel free to list options that cost more than $5, and I'll buy them if they're interesting enough after the sample, but please list at least one book that costs no more than $5. | | Jeff | 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 | | kaotickitten | ciscokid | Horror, Paranormal/Supernaturl Thrillers, Apocalyptic fiction, Some Sci Fi...my taste in books is actually pretty broad....these are just my favorites.
Here's the link to my Goodreads page. | Erotica and homosexual romance. Please no long and involved books this month and nothing too expensive. Life is pretty crazy right now. | | KingAl | SinCityReader | Fiction, Historical Fiction, Crime, Mystery & Suspense.
Goodreads | Science Fiction,, Horror (I'm kind of scared of the dark ) Romance & Religion | | MoyJoy | 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 . | | SinCityReader | 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. | Horror (no that's the same), Fantasy (no that's the same), Romance (aha, there's the new one) | | Tuttle | 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. | no classics, no talking animals. |

Geoffrey:
Can you remove "(except this month, I'd prefer a book that is not super long, as I am currently reading a whopper for this month's game.)" from my Genres. That was for last month only. Thanks (and sorry about that.)

And here I was so proud I'd already found some good, shorter choices!  |
