thank you. This was a funny book and entertaining beginning so I look forward to the rest of the series

Jothany,

So many good series to pick from - I can't narrow it down but I will. So I pick Option B and I'm going to go with Kate Daniels and The Others.

Suzanne, sorry I made you wait...

I choose option B
Spindle Cove and Domestic Diva

Thanks Joyce!

Thanks Cathy!

Finished my first Anita Blake book this month

read 6/7, 3 stars
- I liked this book, but didn't love it as much as the rest of the series so far. Hopefully, things will turn around. I still like Anita's humor, but without Richard and Jean Paul it didn't really get me.

I need to get back to this series

Finished my second pick for the month -- . Eagerly awaiting July's pick list! :)

LaurLa,

Thanks for the pick I only finished one in the series you gave me but I really enjoyed it and will read another one in July!

Louise, I loved both of my books - and
