Oops! I read the wrong book this month. I read my July pick instead of June's. I'll read June's in July. Now that I've got you thoroughly confused... ;)
I changed some of my books all around. I am still sticking to the rules, except I needed to make some changes according to my writing schedule.
Jenny,Do you us to go ahead and add to running list ourselves?

I'm still reading Dark Harvest for a review. It's good,but I'm too busy to read right now.
I just read "Split Second". Following is my review:“Split Second” by David Baldacci was the #1 bestseller according to New York Times, as well it should have been. This first installment of the explosive team, King and Maxwell, starts at the moment when the two meet. From this instant on, the ex-Secret Service agent, King, and the somewhat tarnished agent, Maxwell, are thrown together in the most dangerous of situations. The mystery that they are trying to untangle is, from the very beginning, baffling. To make matters worse, as soon as they unweave one strand of the puzzle, ten more are added. Like a snowball rolling downhill, King and Maxwell are confronted with a chilling dilemma, the solution of which not even the reader could fathom. It is a surprisingly confusing web brought on by a love story that is described as being “a sick, twisted version of [love]”. The reader finds that King and Maxwell “move at the speed of light” to find a mad man and thwart another of his murderous schemes.
As I found Mr. Baldacci’s book a delight to read, I gave it five out of five stars. His mesmerizing style kept me jumping from one suspect to another until the very end, when it all becomes clear. I found myself asking, “Why didn’t I think of that?” “For a moment there I thought the fairy-tale ending would actually happen”, but I was wrong…or was I? When Sean King lost that “specter of guilt that had haunted him” for years, Michelle Maxwell says to him, “You can rebuild [your life], better than before”, leaving it wide open for their next action-packed case together. That installment of this wonderful series is patiently waiting for me to crack the spine.

I just started this book. Even though I have barely gotten into it, I am disturbed, yet intrigued by this classic.
Jenny...For some reason it wouldn't let me edit the comment with the first book I read for the game, so I copied and pasted the first and added the second book.

Jenny wrote: "I love that series too Denise! Have you read the lasted book in this series?"16th? No. I'm waiting for my cousin to finish it. I would like it if we read at least some of these in the series reading. I love Patterson. I'm taking his writing class now.
Jenny wrote: "How is your knee Denise?"They put it in a brace and scheduled me for therapy. They are threatening to give me a shot of Cortisone (I told them no way. Those suckers hurt, especially in the knee.) The last resort is to operate.
I finished this book.
The Women's Murder Club. A great series with 4 tough ladies solving difficult murders by James Patterson. I can't read this series enough!

Thanks.
I want to try again this time. If we read the BOTM and it's covered in another category, does it count? What about using one book for more than one category?
Oops. Jenny, I told you that I finished the first book, when it was actually the second. Guess I have to go back to the beginning!
Jenny wrote: "Let me know Denise if you enjoy Gone Girl!"Jenny,
I'm sorry to say that I hated Gone Girl. I just couldn't get past the style in which it was written. I also had problems with the language. A little goes a long way with me. As a writer, I've always been taught to have command of the English language. You can always express the feelings that you want to convey without using offensive language. Look at Hitchcock and Christi; these two great authors always used adjectives, not curse words. I know, I'm a prude, right? Now, I'll get off my soap box.
