Perfect - thank-you!

Who's my partner for this group

Thanks so much, LaurLa. I'm looking forward to these series.

Reed, in order to participate in this challenge, you would need to follow the rules as stated in Post #2 above:

"SEPTEMBER 22nd-26th, 2021: Participants will Post their shelves
*If you do not list a shelf, I will not pair you with anyone
***Cut off on SEPTEMBER 26th"

But don't worry, it happens every month. So keep an eye on the calendar and come back and check towards the end of October.

I think I already did that

Reed wrote: "I think I already did that"

Hey Reed,
I didn't see a shelf posted by you for someone to pick from.
The pairs are usually from the people who posted a shelf in this specific thread. If you want to play, we are happy to talk you through how to list a shelf

anyone missing a pick?

Kathy D, finished both my books, and . Really enjoyed them.

Ezi suggested I add this here in case anyone is interested in turning their book picks into buddy reads: Buddy Read Discussion Thread if you're looking for a buddy to join you & Buddy Read Sign Ups if you have a partner you want to read with. :)

I finished one in the criminal intentions series and I'm still really loving this series but it's definitely got some darker aspects. I also finished two in the Fox Hollow Zodiac so only one more to go in that series until I'm caught up.

I had hoped to get to more, but I'm happy to have finished these two. Will definitely continue with both series! Thanks, Laura.

LaurLa picked for me: Wynn Hockey and Cottonbloom

✔ Wynn Hockey - Kelly Jamieson

Win Big by Kelly Jamieson - 10/4/21 ♥♥♥♥

✔ Cottonbloom - Laura Trentham

Kiss Me That Way by Laura Trentham - 10/27/21 ♥♥♥♥

Well I didn't manage to complete any books in the Kylie Berry series but I finished A Psychic Cafe Mystery series so I'm happy with that
