Thank you Denise. I loved Tere Michaels Faith & Fidelity books with Matt and Evan (not Griff and his dude). I hope this one is good.

And if you want to BR Lost and Found by Sloane Kennedy, I’m down

Chelle - thanks for the picks! I don't see a post with your pciks actually made it (I'm guessing it didn't save right) but I found them in your own bookshelf post, so I'm really glad you updated there :-D Looking forward to Against the Odds and I've never heard of Kay Hooper, so that might be an interesting new read. Thanks, again!!!

Works for me! :D
On that note, I'm gonna go get the BRs for next month going...

Penumbra

My picks for you are

and for bonus picks:

Honestly I didn't love the first Cut & Run Book but by the 3rd book I loved the characters. Leo Loves Aries is a cute, fun and humorous book.

Sorry DG. Aletha Romnig is an author I can't read after that Consequences series.

was an okay read (3.5 stars). It was rather predictable. And I am guilty of looking for another Matt and Evan magic in all of Tere Michael's work.

Finished my first book.

I liked this better than the first one. Missy and Chas are so cute. Awwwwwe! :-D Quick read. I finished it in one day and look forward to then next one.

This was my first book by her and very likely will be my last...

WOW. So sorry. It looks like my picks post never did post. I'm glad you found the picks though. I really like Kay Hooper. It's a Romantic Serial Killer series.LOL

I finished by Simon Winchester and really enjoyed it. An amazing story of how the Oxford English Dictionary almost didn't come in to existence.

I started and then realized I had already read it before - doh! Not sure I'll get to my other suggested book but plan to read it in the future if it doesn't fit in this month.

thanks

I've gone way off script this month! At least the books are on my original list ;)
I read (finished 10/08/17 ***) for my Litsy WhoDunItByMail book club.
Then I devoured . I give it *****. I loved it! It came off hold at the library and I just HAD to read it.
I'm now reading because it was calling to me.
I'll probably read one of my choices, , next.

Denise,
I’ve read all my selections
(3-Stars) (2-Stars) (1-Star)
Not a great reading selection but thankfully you helped me knock off 3 books (and series that I won’t return to) off my shelf

Finished Asylum last night. ★★1/2 - ★★★ It was OK, but I felt it didn't live up to its potential. I was not scared at all and eh teen angst was a bit annoying. I still may read the others. I actually enjoyed the prequel novellas better.

Yikes. It seems I have outdone myself in terrible selections this time. But at least we suffered through one part together. XD

Finished both my books. Really enjoyed and I loved even though I needed tissues a few times while reading!

Finished my 2nd book.

This was a reread from almost 20 years ago. I loved it then and still excited with it now :-D

I only got to one of my books this month but I'm still planning on reading the other two very soon.

I finished Fight the Tide - 4 Stars
