We all know the rules but in case there are some new people (and we would love to have you join us!) Here's How It Works:

1. When you sign up, pick out 3 books you want to be included on the list, or pool.

2. Any book works as long as it follows these simple guidelines:

-YA
-No Duplicates

3. At the beginning of November, you will start reading books from the Book Pool. Pick at least one, but there is no limit on the number of books you read.

4. The person who reads the most books in the Book Pool will be the champ for that month!

Okay! That's it , have fun!

Jennifer- if The Rest of Us Just Live Here is chosen for our BOTM then you'll have to switch that out for a different book for our pool :)

Hi Jenny we are happy to have you join us! It looks like Panic has won for the BOTM so could you choose another book to switch for that one? :)

Perfect choice Jenny :) I've been wanting to read that for awhile. I'm pretty excited about all our books actually. I've only read These Broken Stars, and Snow Like Ashes. They both were really good. :)

Wow you're on a roll! I wasn't sure about the Lone City series but I started reading The Jewel the last week of Oct. when I saw you had picked White Rose. I was so surprised by how good it was! I'm happy you chose it! Glad you're listening to Alive, it's so cool that he podcasts his books like that to draw people in!

Brittany wrote:The author sounds like a really cool guy from his podca..."

Yeah I know what you mean, I like his voice. I started listening to one of his other books a couple weeks ago called Infected and he narrates it himself. I like it so far. I think all his other books are adult, and I gather they are pretty gory and stuff. That stuff doesn't bother me though.
I started Alive and wow it sucks you in right away doesn't it? :)

I finished it! It was definitely a cool book. I wish the next one was already out. Did you end up listening to the preview of the next book? I haven't decided whether to or not yet :)
