And for Johnni I choose
because Ilona Andrews right? ;-)
I jumped ahead and have already started one of the picks for me "Victoria" by Daisy Goodwin. I'm listening to the audio and I'm about 3 hours in (9 to go). It is wonderful! I love books about the British monarchy and this one is awesome :) Thanks for the pick Nicole.

My two pics for you are, Poet Of The Wrong Generation and/or Beneath a Scarlet Sky

I just haven't been able to get around to reading it, but it is next up on my list. Thanks for picking for me!

Great, I'll check it out soon! And if you want another choosing for August because you already finished this one let me know. :-)

I just might have to check it out as well. However I currently have 2 books going already. I'm hoping I can at least knock out 1 of 2 this weekend.
I finished up one of the books selected for me today "Victoria" and started "Tinker". Victoria was very good up until the courtship with Albert. I just don't think it would have happened that way. Anyway, I hated for it to end. Maybe there will be another on Victoria beginning where this one left off.
Finished Night early (I was going to use either it or Hamlet as my final 'one word title challenge' so— two birds, one stone). At this point, I don't really have words for what I'm feeling about it. I gave it four stars, but words are just not coming to me at the moment. I think I will re-read it in a couple of weeks, and maybe then I will have reflected enough to form something.
Right now, all I have to say is that it was visceral. Not in the way that is over-explained, or necessarily even all emotional, but when I was reading it I could correspond these moments with how (in the introduction) he described the rest of his life.
I wish I could read Yiddish, so I could read the original, and not just the American translation (not that there's anything wrong with it, I just feel as though with most translations, they are served better in their native language.)
Thank you, Swaroop, for giving me the kick in the ass to read this; I know I would have chosen to just re-read Hamlet for ease, if up to myself.

Have you read the whole Kate Daniels series? If not I would recommend the next book in her series that you haven't read yet.
But if you are tired and need an Ilona break, then I would choose A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3) by Sarah J. Maas. I'm planning to read this book myself soon. :-)

I have two left in the Kate Daniels series. I don't need an Ilona Andrews break so much as I should slow down and savor the last few published books I haven't read yet.
SJM will be perfect!
Heather wrote: "I still dont have my pick"Sorry about that Heather. I messaged Tasheana to remind her. If you don't hear back from her by August 1st, then I will pick something for you. I looked over your list and know just what it would be :)
