My want to read list is:

At Risk (Anthropology) Edited by Sandra Brown
Nights Cold Kiss by Tracey O'Hara
Contest by Mathew Reilly
Temple by Mathew Reilly

Helen, these choices were supposed to be posted in MAY so they could be voted on in MAY for READING this month.

I'm waiting for the selections thread for JULY to be posted.

Helen, closing date for the June read was 31st July. If you want to copy and paste your list to the July selection thread when I've posted it, you're welcome to do so. July threads will go up in the next couple of days.

Helen, I believe Janet probably meant the thread closed May 31st rather than July 31st. Just want to avoid confusion...

Ooops, yes I did. Didn't even notice I did that. Thanks, Christine! :)

Happens, Janet.
