Need to go out and get the paperbacks from my local but will for sure now.

I just finished and it was good, but not great. But I really enjoy James Marsters narrating the audiobook!

I love the audio versions of these as well. I also love Harry Dresden. He just grows on you the more you read about him. I tried one of Jim Butcher's other series and I couldn't get into it. Maybe I wasn't in the mood because I really enjoy his writing.

Or it might just be that Harry is awesome!

I finished and I loved it!

Yes he is Marla.

For May, Melissa picked for me the book

I keep adding all of my to my shelf slot in the beginning. I didn't realize everyone was just putting them on here. lol.. oh well, anyone can look at me at the top of page one :-D

I didn't hear from my partner in March or April and I think something might have happened with her in real life. She had a bad February and hasn't been on GoodReads since March.

Does anyone else need a new partner?

Oh that's terrible to hear. I hope nothing bad has happened to her and that she is just busy.

Marla, I need a partner.
I would love to do this.
You still need a partner?

This month is crazy busy, Elsa, but I would love to have another partner (I plan to keep Suzannah when she comes back too).

Thanks! I'll message you

Sylvia

Have you hear?

Marla and I are now partners!
Just in case you needed to know.

I picked for my partner Marla:
for April and for May

That's fantastic :D hope you enjoy the reads you pick out for one another.

For May, Marla picked

Just finished it and loved it!
Great pick Marla, thanks

Right back at you, Elsa.

Thanks for the great pick! I couldn't put it down.
Finished

So I asked my pick for me buddie that I would like to catch up and read for months I've missed and she agreed
So she pick for April

Just finished it and she's two for two, good story. Again not my genera but I really enjoyed the story.

On to the next one.

Glad you all are enjoying this challenge and reading books you wouldn't normally and being quite surprised by how much you actually liked the choices. Keep it up, you are all doing well.

Marla selected for my March selection.

Something I picked up for free, liked the cover and thought I give it a shot. Another great pick from my buddie, I really enjoyed it!

On to the next one.

This challenge sounds interesting. Does anybody wants a partner? :)

Mairenn, hello
If you don't have a partner by the end of tomorrow. I will be your partner. Im sure Marla won't mind.

We can be be a group of three until someone else needs a partner.

That's a wonderful idea, Elsa :D

Hi Elsa, yes that would be great. Thank you!

Welcome to our group, Mairenn!

Hey Mods, it's much harder to do a group of three by messaging, would you make us a thread somewhere?

Great idea Marla!!
We can come back and update our reading selections so the rest of the participants can see what we have chosen for each other.

Mairenn
post your link to the list of book you would like for me to choose from.

Thanks for the welcome Marla :)

Elsa wrote: "Mairenn

I don't have a list yet but for the meantime I'm picking for you =D
I'm excited to know what book you'll be choosing for me.

Just finished that Marla picked for my February selection.

This one was a little choppy. The story line was good but not sure I liked the tone.

Give this one 2 stars maybe 3.

Four down one to go.

I haven't read the first one and I really want to. Need to find the time for it.

It's fun reading out of your box sometimes Elsa. That's why these challenges are great.

You're all set up Marla. I have put up a thread under the Buddy Reads 2016. I would link it but I'm on my phone and haven't figured out how to do that yet, new phone. If you can't find it or want to change it let me know.

Here you go ladies, the link for the thread that Tracy set up for you all to discuss books etc…https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thanks Ladies!

Started reading this morning. Just finished.
What can I say about this story/text messages/emails.
Didn't work for me. There's scenes that are missing because they are together hanging out and we totally miss all those. It's like part of the story is missing. They try to talk about the time though the electronic messaging but it's still missing sections and we are left to guess. Nope not for me. Sorry Mrs. Pepper, didn't work for me.

Besides that, I wanted to punch both in the face!!! They wanted to have their cake and eat it too. Although I only feel sorry for his ex fiancé and not her current boy toy. He needed to be punched in the testicals

Have to give this one star
On to the next one

Sorry this didn't work for you Elsa. Hope your next read will be great :)

Thanks for the pick Elsa!
Here's my pick for you this June, :)

My June pick of the month by Dom was The Way I Used to Be It's a sad book about rape but there was just something about it that bothered me so I gave it 3 stars.

Melissa wrote: "My June pick of the month by Dom was The Way I Used to Be It's a sad book about rape but there was just something about it that bothered me ..."

That is a very difficult subject to talk or write about Melissa.

It sure is Tracy :-( I have personal experience.

I'm sorry about that Melissa.

Marla pick for me for June: finished it and gave it 3 stars.

Not a great beginning, little above average middle, not a great ending.

I loved the main lead female when she was a kick ass female, didn't like her so much when she would act like a wimpy babbling female

Melissa picked for me the book and I totally loved it. 5 stars!

I'm glad you loved Ove :-)
