As always - I heart your list!!!!

There are a few on your audio list I want to read too...I may join you on them if I can too.

Thanks, Kris! Just let me know about the audiobooks.

Thank you, I will. (Hoyt, Kleypas, King and Cleeves are ones I would like to read as well).

Thank you, Stephanie! Nothing proprietary here so use what works.

I just picked up the audiobook last night for the second book in the Ravenels series. Can't believe I've waited this long to read a new Kleypas historical.

You have a great list! I read Bird Box and loved that book. Its really creepy! I loved Angels Flight and The Kind Worth Killing also.

Thanks, Mary Beth! Bird Box is one of the shorter ones and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Dying to get to Swanson but I've got six audiobooks that have to be read this month so it might be in July or August.

You definitely have a lot to choose from. If you get around to the Stephen King book I'll look forward to reading your thoughts on it. It's been on my radar.

Probably not this month but definitely next month.

Wow what a great list. I like Mariah Stewert books. Have you read her suspense series? I think it is the same author.

Thanks, Viki! I've yet to read any book by Mariah Stewart book. This will be my first.

Hope you enjoy Kleypas's new series, Jonetta. I'm glad she's gotten back into HR.

I really enjoy her romantic suspense books (FBI).

If it is as good as her other series, you will enjoy it.

That's what I've heard!

May not make the cut this month but I don't think I can wait beyond next month to get started:)

As always an impressive list. How do you choose what to read next?

I weight the 2-3-4 category heavier and kind of have the first few books in the order I plan to read. Same for the audiobooks but I definitely am a mood reader in that category. I also try to get at least a couple of the author requests in.
