Upcoming Contemporary Reading Circles; New Plan

Just to shake things up a bit, a new way of selecting books was suggested - thanks Karen!

How about we just vote once in a while and come up with several books/months at a time. We can add new books to the list to read when they come out or pull out an old one if we want. Even if we get a list going for the future, if we missed something or if someone gets a urge for something specific we can always add it and bump the existing list into the future. Nothing has to be set in stone.

So to give this a try, we need to come up with a list of several books - I don't know, maybe 10? And then we will get to vote for four or five that we want to read. Then based on the votes, we will get the next three or four months books. We can schedule them based on numbers of votes and release dates if it is a new release.

Yes to all of those!!

Others:

I would like to throw Pursuit by Elizabeth Jennings back into the list.

Long Hard Ride by Lorelei James, because I like to start at the beginning.

Nauti and Wild by Lora Leigh and Jaci Burton, cuz I haven't read it yet.

Maybe This Time – Jennifer Crusie, I've heard good things.

I would also like to continue reading the Steele Street series, but I am think I am way behind in that one too.
