Rachel C. (rachelus) | 611 comments I'm so glad you liked it! It's definitely going on my to-read list! :)

Antonietta (anto5) | 14 comments Hi ~KarenH~

Thanks again for your great picks.
I just finished Truce by R.L. Mathewson in (almost) one sitting!
Yes, you were absolutely right! It was a perfect beach read. Gave it ✰✰✰✰
Made me smile a lot.
A very sweet, sometimes steamy but mostly funny love-hate romance set in the middle of 19th century England/America. Loved the characters, liked the storytelling!

Truce (Neighbor from Hell, #4) by R.L. Mathewson

Will keep you posted! :) Still sooo many good picks to go through ... :)

I think she messed up, but the other person got her picks in the repicks, so everyone is good I believe! =)

Hi Colleen (Avid Reader, Geek Girl, and Jedi's Mom),

0/5
Here are your books:

*Global Running Day- The Hunger Games own audio and physical copies
because there's running involved
*Yell Fudge at Cobras in North America Day - Seduction and Snacks-because of the chocolate on the cover and Let it be Me own e-book because of the 'yummy' cover
*Upsy Daisy Day - Remember Me? own a physical copy
because of the happy and flowery cover, the humor and the happy ending
*Superman Day - Me Before You don't think I'm gonna read this one
this was one I gave 5 stars to, and HIGHLY recommend
*Flip Flop Day
Beautifully Awake don't think I'll be reading this one either.
one of the characters is doctor
*International Body Piercing Day - Beautiful Disaster own physical copy
one of the main characters has tattoos
*Naked Bike Ride Month - Winter Chill - characters get nakedowned tried to read but couldn't get into it

I hope you'll enjoy the book(s) you pick! :)

Ready my first pick Reaper's Legacy (Reapers MC, #2) by Joanna Wylde -liked it a lot!!

thanks again for the great picks!


message 166: by Cecily (last edited Jun 10, 2016 03:51PM) (new)

Cecily Black | 173 comments I finished my first pick last night!! Duncan's Bride (Patterson/Cannon Family, #1) by Linda Howard It was actually really good!! I said in my review that I wished I had read this in the winter next to a fire with a cozy blanket!! I loved the female lead she was awesome! Judging by the cover I thought I wasn't really going to like the book but I am glad I went for it. :)


message 167: by Cecily (new)

Cecily Black | 173 comments Just finished Lily and Dunkin by Donna Gephart and Never Seduce a Scot (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #1) by Maya Banks this weekend!!

Lily and Dunkin was a really good but hard novel to read because the issues these kids face really infuriate me and it's hard to read about those kinds of things still happening today.

Never Seduce a Scot was AMAZING!! When I first started reading it I was a little skeptical but then I found I couldn't put it down!! Maya Banks really is brilliant and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series!! So gooood!!

Hi Diane,
I finished my first read Dragon Bound (Elder Races, #1) by Thea Harrison and really enjoyed it. But I started and ended up not finishing my second read Stepbrother Master by Ava Jackson

Cecily Black | 173 comments Just finished A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin !! 06/17/16
It was amazing!!! I love the show and it was amazing to see how well they followed in the book in the first season! It was also nice to be able to pick up on smaller details that a missed watching the show. I am really glad this was picked for me because I usually don't like to read a book AFTER I have seen the show or movie because I don't like it spoiled, but this was a treat!


message 173: by Jody (new)

Jody (crzyfrogger) | 167 comments I finished Turn it Up (The Detroit Love Duet, #2) by Kim Karr

Good conclusion to the first book and I enjoyed it!
Thanks Rachel C! I'm not doing as good as I had planned. I'm trying to fit in one more but between work and other challenges I might not get it done.

Vandhana | 71 comments Hi Fleurette,

I finished reading Naked in Death... it was too good... Seriously after a long time I was completely into a book. I was tempted to read it even when I got 5 minutes of free time....

Thank you so much for this pick :)

Pam | 1048 comments Elke-
Finished Taking a Shot so far this month. I did enjoy this story of Jenna and Jaci Burton certainly writes hot ones. I was reading it at lunch this weekend when a student came to say hi. Had to close the book quickly and be sure the cover wasn't showing. :) Will try to finish one more before Friday if I can. Thanks for encouraging me to keep reading this series.

MountainKat | 30417 comments Hi Stacie! As I'm sure you remember from last month, I'm terrible about doing updates as I go along. So here is my (almost) end of the month update. =) I've read 5 of my picks and am about 60% in number 6!

Big Rock by Lauren Blakely 6.7.16 - Loved this, the humor was right up my alley!
What's New Pussycat by Dakota Cassidy 6.12.16 - Lots of fun!
Dirty by Kylie Scott 6.14.16 - I can't wait for the next one, this one was so good!
Allegiance of Honor by Nalini Singh 6.20.16 - Not typical, but it really set up the next step for the series and I am anxious to see where it goes!
The Best Kind of Trouble by Lauren Dane 6.22.16 - I really enjoyed, looking forward to the brothers' stories!

Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston 60% - Should finish tomorrow! I love what I've read so far and I know I'll love the end too!

I just realized I listened to all of these - I loved the listening experience too! Thanks for the awesome picks!
