Hiya-The rules are the same as the other babbles...the books listed here are the ones that have been submitted by members of babble...basically, we'll select a book by popularity (I do believe), and then discuss it. Sounds like you're a reader too! I love books and outread the pace of the Author, so I think this is going to be fun too.
If you have a favorite or one that you dislike, just post it under the main one...or add one to the list if you like.
Does that help?
