I'm trying to do all your recs LOL ! Will prob not be able to finish this month but hopefully by the next , ( except the fountainhead , I don't know y am not in the mood to read it right now)

[Renee]

Even though my intent was to read more, I was able to finish four of my picks this month:



For the most part, I really enjoyed all of these picks. Thanks, Dawn!

I also started listening to , but couldn't focus on it. I could tell the story was awesome though, so I bought the paperback from B&N. So, even though I can't count it among what I finished, I will definitely read this book at some point.

Hi Photojim
Thanks so much for the picks, I only managed to fit in 1 Reflected in You which I loved but have added the rest to my tbr list.

[Carrie]

Finished , as a buddy read with Pollyanna Glad she picked this book, it's been ages since I read this series.

Hi Elke!

Thanks for the recommendations. I read When You Dare and And One Last Thing, which were new to me. I also read Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which was really amazing.

I finished The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen. So far I've LOVED every book I've read by here, and this story was no exception. Her writing style is fantastic and I always feel very light after reading her books =)

I did a buddy read of Club Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair with Rishika - my pick for her. Thank you for reading this with me and getting it off my to read shelf! I really enjoyed it, probably too much - I went shopping... =P

So glad you liked it, Tiffanny! I like all Sarah Addison Allen's books, but that one is, by far, my favorite. I loved the books that kept showing up...

[Elke]

Joyce, finished Three To Get Deadly! Thanks again for the picks!!

[Dee]

I finished up The You Know Who Girls: Freshman Year the other day which was my recommendation from Fran - the WKWG's are the ohhh big scary lesbians on the girls basketball team at a high school - I liked the book and thought the author did a good job of balancing the fine line between telling the story without being too preachy (if that makes sense).

Hi Nikki, I finished my second PIFM book. had been on my TBR for a long time, so thanks for the suggestion. I liked all the twists and turns. Thanks again!

That is one of the perks of having kids when I was young and stupid - they are all grown and gone now!! =)

[Alexis]

Melissa I finished The Iron King finally! With only a few days to spare! It's been a crazy month! Anyways, I enjoyed the book, it had a very Alice in Wonderlandy feel to it. Not really what I was expecting at all. I loved all of the supporting characters, but I hate Ash... seriously, I hope something happens and he leaves the series.. Idk why, but he just angers me. Otherwise I loved it though! I'll definitely be continuing the series soon!

[Sue]

I am still at the beginning of my book, "Catch-22." I seriously doubt I'll be able to finish it before the end of the month. I do plan on finishing it some time in the next couple of weeks, but this will make the second challenge I didn't complete. Bummer! I do really want to read the book, but every time I picked it up, I feel asleep after a few pages. Maybe I'll bring this one to work and try to read it during my lunch hour!

[Pollyanna]

Hey Regina I finished Lover Revealed last night and gave it 4 stars. Really looking forward to the next installment thanks for recommending it.

Hi Laura - I have finally finished The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie! I really enjoyed it - I had started a year or so ago, reaching when Beth arrived in Paris, but for one reason or another hadn't continued with it. I had an issue with the narrator but it didn't impact too much on my enjoyment of the storyline, and I'm looking forward to more of Mackenzie clan. Thanks for the push :)

[Vi]

Christina, I'll be starting today or tomorrow. I'll let you know once I've read it :)

[Debra]

[Debra]

thanks Suzanne for the great picks so enjoyed them

I ended up reading The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong. I usually love her writing, unfortunately not this particular book.

There were a few other picks I was really interested in, unfortunately I couldn't get around to reading any of them. Thanks for adding some new choices to my TBR, Mistborn: The Final Empire & It Had to Be You among them.

Wow, I finished my last book for this month with a whole hour to spare! :) I read Slow Heat, which overall I enjoyed, although it was by far not my favorite Jill Shalvis book and I did have a couple of issues with it. Thanks for all the great picks this month, Lexa!

Yay! Glad you had time to read it. Ash's character gets developed more in the next books so you might end up changing your mind about him!

I hopy you enjoy it. She is one of the authors I have wanted to try since joining RRRRC but just haven't made it to yet.

[Vi]

Christina, I finished it day before yesteryday. I loved it! I loved William & Cerise. I can't believe it took me so long to read it. And I just heard that the series has officially ended with the next one releasing later this month. Best news :)

[Christina]

Vi - I'm glad you liked it!

KarenH!

I know it's a month late, lol, but I was determined to get another of your picks for me in :). Thanks again for all of the great choices!

I finished and I adored it! So cute and funny and it managed to surprise me. There were several times I thought the story was going to go a certain way and it didn't. It kept me guessing a bit and I loved that. Megan was the whole book and I loved her.
