I don't know what's happening, but this is the second month I haven't received a notice about listing or picking books.

Hi Ezi, just wanted to point out that I'm here! Post #11.

I really hope everything is ok with Ezi. Praying that she's all right and also her family. I am staying with my sick mom right now and she doesn't have internet, so it is very difficult to keep checking back here. I will do so when I can, so be please be patient if I don't respond right away once pairs are posted.

I sent out a general pm, is it possible that your notifications are turned off?

Truly truly appreciate this! Thank you. It hasn't been an easy week for me.
I hope your mom is getting better. Sick family members can be very stressful so I pray she heals soon.
your graciousness was a balm to my spirit today

Yes, I rechecked notifications and they are correct. Also I received all previous notices, it's just the last two months. I checked my messages and GR is sending the notices to me late. The notice to post my books is dated Aug 28th, which is one day before the lists are closed and then the notice doesn't get emailed to me in time. So there's something wrong with GR.

hi Michelle...for September I'm choosing...

enjoy!

For Connie N. I pick and with a bonus book of .

Enjoy!

I had a wicked time choosing your picks, because I really wanted to add the InCryptid novel, but finally went with, for your official picks, (which sounded so good I added it to my own to read list) and (which I freaking loved).

For your bonus pick, I had to go with because I love that book, and that series, so much that I've reread it at least three or four times by now. ^_^

LaurLa, my picks for you are , and as your bonus. Hope you enjoy them! :)
