you don't have to change your whole name---add something to it, like the other Amy added a flower to her name, you could add an initial, a star...whatever. Just a little something to help out differentiate your name from the other Amy

Is it too late for July 2015? If there are any late bloomers, can you match us up? If it's for all of July then pick 2 - 4 b/c I have others I'm working on too but these keep getting put on back burner.

Shari, I choose and for you. I read the CSI book years ago and enjoyed it, plus I've always wanted to read a Rizzoli and Isles book. Happy Reading!

[Sherri]

Thanks Trea....I've been wanting to get to them all & I need at least one for the 2015 Ultimate Challenge" anyway.

I really enjoyed this. It was hidden deep in my TBR, mostly because I'm not a fan of YA/NA. Niles was annoying for the first 40% of the book but then he finally started communicating with Rylan and they worked out their issues.

[Elizabeth]

So I'm starting hopefully I'll like it because so far I've read 2 of his books and didn't like them at all.

Same here. I liked it in spite of the YA.

★★★★ It was very cute. I can't believe I'm writing this, but it really didn't need the sex at the end.


★★★ I love this cover. This is one of those short books that really bother me. On the one hand I liked what I read, but on the other hand, I felt like I was reading a well thought out plot for a full book that was not written...and well I'd rather read that. I did like it enough to try book 2.

Thanks for these picks.

[Elizabeth]

First I want to say thinks to Wendi Jane for picking .becouse I was kind of apprehensive about it becouse in the past I've tried to like his books but just can't get in to them,the two I tried before was and ,and like I said before just could get in to them at all.didn't like either the books or the original movies that are out ,even saw the original movie to and did like it either.but the book I kinda did like so I give it a four star rating.thinks again for picking it and making me read it.now I just got to get it in paperback to add to my book shelf.also I'm starting my 2nd book she picked in a little while which is

[Elizabeth]

Want to say thinks once again to Wendi Jane for another great reading,just finished and loved it,give it a five star rating

[Kari]

I finished both of my picks . I enjoyed both books, thanks to Marty for choosing them :)

[~Melissa~]

Hi ~Leslie~ I finished up my first pick of - I enjoyed it - gave it 4♥'s but wow there were a lot of cringe worthy moments - Bliss is kind of a total nutjob when she is in her head and should really think sometimes before she opens her mouth. I loved the secondary characters too. Thanks for getting it off my TBR pile.
I'll be fitting in Cinder later this month - just not sure when. Hope finding step-families is getting better for you :)

Date Finished~ July 6

Final Thoughts~ Loved this book. Even more than the first book. Jennifer Ashley has always been one of my favorite authors so I am not surprised I'm enjoying this series.

Thanks for the picks!

No need to apologize! Elixir was on my Dusty Bookshelf! haha. I will let you know what I think after I read Elixir. I've been a fan of Hilary Duff, so I thought it might be time to give her writing a try. You have a book review blog? That sounds really neat! I definitely need to review more books on GR. Personally, I really liked Divergent. You should read it when you have the time (or if someone picks it for you). It's an interesting concept. I have a couple of friends who refuse to read it because they feel that dystopian novels are overdone. I like dystopian books though, so it does not bother me. I'm reading Allegiant right now; so far, I'm enjoying it! Thank you for one good pick so far :)

@Penumbra

Thanks for selecting . I enjoyed reading it very much and rated it 4.25 Stars.

[VNerdbooks]

I finished i really enjoyed it thanks EnglishElle gave it 4*

[Snowtulip]

Ezinwanyi, thanks for my picks!

I really liked The Right Time because I am a sucker for athletes and control freaks...great combo!

Cherish the Land was also enjoyable, but too many other character story lines getting in the way!

[Ashley]

I finally finished one of my picks for this month.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was amazing, I'm glad this was one of my choices :)

[Nichole]

I❤BG(Teresa),

I finished both of my picks for this month!

- 4 stars. Molly Harper is always good for a laugh! It's time for me to start Half-Moon Hollow now :)

- 4 stars. This was so different! Brutal, vicious, and wild water horse races. I think I'll pass on this particular sport, lol.

Thanks!!

[Minerva]

This was laugh out loud funny. Caesar has a knack for getting into trouble. Dan and Caesar are hot together. I'd love to read more about them.

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

I have finished both choices for this month: and . These were both very good and I rated them both 5 stars. It was sort of a theme this month that had to do with corruption in policing... The Public Pretender dealt with corruption and collusion in the Juvenile Detention/Probation departments of an American east coast city, while Devil's Chimney dealt with police corruption and criminal enterprise at the highest levels within the Constabulary of a British city. A bit more graphic in the violence department than i like, but still, they were both excellent reads.

@ Debbie G.

I finished the first of my two picks and am going to go ahead and post because I am not sure I'll make it to the other one. I feel like I am running out of month faster than books on my list. :(

So I read today and I absolutely loved it, 4 1/2 stars. The two MC's were so great and just perfect for each other. It was a light, fun, sweet read, with just a bit of angst thrown in to keep it from getting sappy and boring....just what I needed right now.

[VampAmber]

Just finished my first pick, , and just... wow. It was so good. It was the most motivational book I have ever read, yet it never once got annoying or syrupy about it. He was one of my favorite dancers on DWTS before, but I think now he's one of my favorite people, as well. I definitely recommend this book to anybody and everybody who likes him in any way. Five stars doesn't seem good enough. And I'm gushing, so I'll just... go over here now... Thank you so much for picking it, Jodi.

It sounds really good! He's also been one of my favorites. Best choreographer in my opinion! I don't read many biographies, although I have read some, but I think I'll give this one a try!

[PepperP0t]

Shelley picked and for me and I rated both 4.5 stars. I'm still having trouble with one of my June picks though.

[Amy:)]

Just finished A Child Called "It". So very sad!

[Stella ╰☆╮╰☆╮]

@SHY
I just finished Everything I Know. I really enjoyed. It was exactly what I needed right now. Thanks for the pick

[Marty]

I just finished last night. It was an exceptional novel, and I gave it five stars. Mantell obviously did her research into this period. An aside - I watched the PBS series based on this book and it followed the novel pretty closely. It will be interesting to see what the next book in the trilogy is like.

[⚜️XAR]

Paris, I got both of my books read finally! The Hard Ink book was great, but I really hated the Sapphire Falls one, so much that with how lackluster the series has been for me, I decided to abandon it. Thanks for picking them for me, I'm a bit eager to move on with Hard Ink!

Post #16 (Debbie G)

Finished my second dusty Murder Strikes a Pose by Tracy Weber 7/24/15

[Lou~❧Powerless Over 1-Click❧]

Penumbra, I finished on 7/25. Glad to eliminate it from my TBR. I rated it 4 Stars.

[Ora]

Forgot to post when I completed my books several days ago.

Enjoyed both books which I already had a good feeling about since I enjoy both authors.

[VNerdbooks]

Finished my 2nd DB book yesterday, really enjoyed 8th and gave 3 stars.
Thanks again for the great picks EnglishElle.

Lots of people are still looking for partners. see August Buddy Read

@Deliatex:
I read and gave it 2.5 stars. Thank you for getting me to read it as it was a review book. Unfortunately, Fifty Shades of Gray and the Crossfire series (which I was only able to stomach 2 books) have led me to despise these types of books.

but this one wasn't as bad as the crossfire series so I finished it :D
Thank you

[Dani]

Just finished and I loved it. I gave it 5 stars. Thanks for the great pick Colleen!
