Ooh. That looks like a great choice!

I'm planning on reading . Just trying to decide if I should listen to it on audio.

I'm hoping to read but I'm still waiting on a copy from the library.

I read this one a couple of years ago and thought it was a fun one.

I read and really enjoyed

Your task this month is to read at least 1 book that WON a book award in June. Any year ... as long as the award was presented in June. What will you read?

To get you started, here are a few awards that have been presented in June:

Currently one of my favorite series!

@Tracy That was my favorite book as a kid too!

The Nebula Awards are my very favorite awards and I've already read so many of the winners and nominees. But one that I've meant to read but haven't yet is so I think that will be my choice for May.

Your task this month is to read at least 1 book that WON a book award in May. Any year ... as long as the award was presented in May. What will you read.

To get you started, here are a few awards that have been presented in May:

Thanks everyone. I decided to go with a light hearted contemporary romance.

This one sounds really interesting.

Cecil wrote: "I'm going to read by Pam Leonard. It's been on my TBR list the longest (since 2013), and I have it on my Kindle, so ready to go!"

This one looks good!

I still can't decide! Anyone have any other suggestions?

Some great looking books this month!
