Please try and make your selections by the 20th of the month prior to your assigned month. If you find out you can't choose for your assigned month, please let me know asap so I can schedule an alternate.

If you want to add a theme, post here and I'll add it to the list. I know some of them are pretty broad and you might want to add a more specific one.

Do we have anyone selecting July Books?

Did you see this thread? There appears to be only one series chosen for July, but I don't think any of us are going to run out of things to read :)

yes I think it was posted after my post this morning. I actually have that book so I am thrilled to get to read it.

Any books for August yet?

Just realised I need to choose the series for September.

Helen wrote: "Just realised I need to choose the series for September."

Thanks Helen. I have one of you choices on my Kindle.

I just realized I need to pick theme and choices for October! 🙃

Doesn't look like anyone signed up for November books. I can pick a couple of authors unless someone else wants to.

Thanks for offering, Alice. I reached out to one of our members. I'll let you know if I don't hear back from her.

The theme is dogs. The books are Cozy Corgi Mysteries and Southern Cousins Mysteries

The Elvis series is very funny. I think I have one in the house I will go look.

Great! I hope it works for you

Yeah!! Dogs are one of my topics. I've read some of both those series.

Bassetts are my favorite dog & I love corgis so count me in!

Cruel Candy

I enjoy well crafted dog cozy and not only does this look good, library has e-audio available.

Excellent (financial) news for me (especially as I love dogs, so the theme is great.) Cruel Candy is on prime so free to read (or cheap/99cents to buy.) The Elvis book was available on kindle loan (no wait) from my library.

Now doesn't that figure? I *just listened to the second book in the Corgi series, and it's unlikely I'll get to book #3 in November. Will have to look for the Elvis book.

I’m enjoying the Cozy Corgis. I’ve found the first 9 free with my Audible membership, and have already listened to 7.

Have we got ideas for January yet?

I messaged Jaxns Mom (Donna), our co-mod, about that. We are looking for someone to help moderate the group.

Anyone interested in running the featured series thread? Send me a PM - or reply to this message.

(p.s., It's easy! 😊)

Nell,

Can you tell us what we would have to do? I may be able to help
