Laura, I just finished Graceling. I loved it!!! Thank your for picking it. I don't know why I waited so long to get to it...

Mindy, I'm really pleased! That was exactly what I thought when I read it (and now the question is why I have waited so long to read Fire...)

Hi Debbie ~ I have finished which I really enjoyed with just a couple of glitches. One I wished the book had been longer. Was a short 200pg book which is rare in Kristen Ashley's world. Two I wish she had shown us more of Raid's back story. I kind of felt like maybe this book should have been called Hanna. Third - she repeated things that she has done with other couples with this one. In fact one was almost word for word and from part of this series. Anyhoo - Raid was hot! 3.5♥

I'm still working on

Finished my second book and gave it 3♥.

Too much back and forth in time for me.

A short KA book - impossible!!

Yep - sad but true - I also felt Jagged was too short but could have been because I didn't really relate to either of the MC's - wasn't a favorite of mine. Raid - I liked both MC's but wanted to know more about Raid since it was named after him lol

I'm supposed to be reading this month, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm interested to start this series of hers.

Hope you enjoy it.

I completely understand. I am attempting again. I tried this Saturday and couldn't get into it. I just can't DNF a book so I am trying again.

I finished 1 of my picks this weekend, Omega Mine it was pretty good 4⭐️'s!

Can all the May DB participants make sure I have your name listed under participants and the link works...just in case my eyes are playing a trick on me. Please let me know IF your link doesn't work.

I appreciate it.

Looks good to me x

My link isn't working.

Turtlecollector wrote: "My link isn't working. ..."

Thank you ma'am. I fixed it:D

Finally finished my book for this month, . It took me a bit to read it because the book made me mad almost from the very beginning! I had to keep taking breaks and reading something else. In the end, I liked it. I wish there was a sequel, though, so somethings could be fixed.

Pairs for May DB is up!

@Pat: I finished my 2nd book and was disappointed. It was so shallow in world building etc. but Thank you

Sorry it wasn't particularly good but looking at the bright side: it was a very helpful book and served 3 purposes. 1) it came off your pile; 2) you don't have to worry about continuing the series and; 3) you saved me from having to read it.

Reason 3 was definitely my favorite of your pick me up reasons:D

But I still love that cover!

I finished Code Name Verity yesterday as my dusty book. 5 Stars!! Great book.

Just finished my second pick
It was probably one of the strangest books I've read in a long time and I'm not really sure how to rate it. I liked it for the most part, it was very emotional. But it's been hanging around for a long time, so I'm glad I finally read it. Thanks!!

So 18 out of 35 players have read at least one book this month

UPDATE Message # 18 - Finished one book from my dusty shelf

This is a delicious novel that begins as a romantic comedy but moves on to give the reader a lesson on the history of Naples in 1944. Capella writes with humor and pathos in describing the war-time experiences of the citizens and soldiers trying to survive not only a war but a volcano’s eruption. I’m glad he included the grittier scenes of chaos and destruction, but where he really excels is in writing about the sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes of the cuisine, and the effects of those scrumptious meals on the human spirit. I was completely caught up in the story from beginning to end.
