Bea’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

I read Silence Fallen for this month. It is a paranormal romance between two shifters: werewolf and coyote.
This is book #10 in the series, Mercy Thompson, who is the coyote. The characters are well-developed as individuals with a strong bond to each other.

I have four books yet to read of the Science Fiction Shelf Bender game. I will try to read one of them during September.

Congratulations!

One for Sorrow: A Ghost Story by Mary Downing Hahn. Started at the end of June. Finished 7/3/24. This is a middle grade book that I hoped would be a better possible for not being so much horror. Instead I found that this old woman really did not like it for the bullying...on both sides of life. Still there is redemption. 4*.

The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 1 for Shelf Bender
