Happy almost summer. It's time once again to sign up for the new month's game .... so here we go:
I'm not that big on rules, but you need some to keep everyone in line. So here are the rules and how the game works:
When signing up:
1. Sign up runs from the 21th through the 28th
2. State your Usual genres
3. List any Deal-breakers (genres, cost, size, etc.)
4. If you want to use last month's information again, just let me know ....
5. Be filled with anticipation and a little dread
Picking a book:
1. You'll get your selectee's name and info on the 29th
2. Pick a book you love and adore, is outside your person's usual genres, not a Deal breaker,
3. and that is no more than - $9.99 ...
4. You get to think about it and stew until the game thread is created on the first day of the month …
5. Stress out over whether your selection is good enough
6. Add a second selection if you want - or don't - it's all good.
7. I'll create the game thread in the Book Klub on the 1st where you will post your selection(s).
Once you get your book:
1. Be surprised at the choice and maybe a little unsure
2. If you get two selections, let us know which one you're choosing
2.5 Or choose both
3. Read your book (no cheating)
4. Come back to the thread often to tell us what you think.
5. And most of all, have fun ...
Other rules
1. You have veto power over your selection - if its just too far out for you, ask for a new one - no one will hate you
2. If you're late to sign up, no worries, we have back-up selector minions - just PM me ...
3. If life happens and your selector doesn't give you a book by the 5th, a new selector will be assigned for you
4. We're all grown folks here, so just act like one ....

But I guess I'm emotionally back to a place where I'm ready to give it a go, again, so...
