This new challenge will help you reduce your TBR shelf and get to know some of our members better.

Here’s how it works
1. Each month we will randomly select a member to be our group focus.
2. The challenge will be to listen to at least two books from her/his shelf that are rated at least 4 stars and is on your TBR shelf (re-listens are acceptable).
3. Use the Goodreads compare tool to filter the ratings from high to low to make your selections easier.
4. The challenge will be from June 1 - June 30, 2018

Our June Listener of the Month is Renégade ♥. Check out her shelf and don’t forget to use the compare tool.

The person of the month may choose two books from the shelves of any of the members participating in this challenge.

I was so surprised and honored to learn that I'm June's listener of the month - very cool :D



I am, of course, just a wee bit biased about the books you're choosing from (*LOL*), but here's hoping you'll enjoy your picks (fingers crossed) and happy reading, everyone!

ETA - PLEASE NOTE:

I give a lot of half stars which some of you will only see if you change the profile settings that allow you to see my actual reviews.

(view spoiler)[

When I give a book 3 1/2 stars (or 3 1/2 to 4 stars), I will type that in the review space even though the star rating will show as ★★★★ because I always round up. So, for the purposes of this challenge, that would not be a true 4 star read, but you'll only know that if you check the actual review.

Example:

Of course, it won't matter with the 4 1/2 star (or 4 1/2 to 5 star) books since they'll easily fall into the 4 and 5 star territory that is required for this challenge:

Hope this isn't too confusing!

I really wish GR had half stars, but since they don't?

I made them for myself... *smile*

I had a hard time choosing from your smorgasbord of titles! There were so many I wanted to read.

I had a hard time too, Jonetta. I spent a long time this morning going through the list of 5 and 4 star books. I wanted to fit them in one or two of my challenges here.

I love how diverse you are, Renegade.

That's (hopefully) a good problem to have, right? ;D

I often feel that way with all the great books/recs coming at me from my GR buds on a regular basis - my TBR pile is pretty much an avalanche waiting to happen...
