You really like those barefoot bay books, you have me convinced to start that series.

I do love them, Laura:)

Thanks, Stephanie. I think I'm going to do some trimming tomorrow

You have an awesome list! Some of them I loved and some I want to read!

Thanks, Mary Beth!

Yeah, that's more like it:)

I've got stuff on here from last month that I know I won't get to.

As always love the list...and I will be stealing some titles ;)

Thanks, Kris!

Looks like a great list, Jonetta. No shortages of choices, that's for sure! :-)

I didn't get around to The Boys in the Boat last month either but it seems to be everywhere I turn lately. Except for the library, of course, where it's been checked out to someone for forever, it seems.

Thanks, Veronica. I always arrange the "must reads" at the top then everything else is up for grabs.

Re Boys...This was a case of needing to mood read. It was up next and I needed something more mindless after my last book, which was so disturbing. Boys will have to wait:)

Great list, Jonetta. I see a couple books on that list that I want to read too.

Thanks, Robin!

Flexibility is the key to happiness. :-)

You are SO right!

Great list Jonetta. Have fun reading.

Thanks, Angela!

Fantastic list, Jonetta!

I'll be starting What Darkness Brings ASAP!

Thanks, Lauren.
