Poll for Additional Group Read for August

[Cheryl]

All right all, here is the list of the books to choose from for the additional group read for August. I had a few people request titles for this go round, so thank you very much. Again for the additional group read I try and post some of the newer titles - although still about a month out or so to give the books time to hit the libraries. And I try and choose books from different genres because I think it's good for us as readers to try different things. There is always at least one title that has been a kindle freebie at some point. I try and denote those with an (*). Ok I am done with my review ....Here are your titles....

1. The Promise Box by Tricia Goyer.

2. The Linen God by Jim O'Shea

3. Shenandoah Nights by Lisa Belcastro

4. (*) Daughter of Joy by Kathleen Morgan

5. Once Upon a Prince by Rachel Hauck

6. Undeniably Yours by Becky Wade

7. Fearless: A novel by Mike Dellosso

8. Love at Any Cost by Julie Lessman

9. Unwritten by Charles Martin.

And the winner chosen was......Once Upon a Prince by Rachel Hauck. Look for the discussion thread to be up on or before August 15th!

[Beth]

Oh good! I have this one on my Kindle!

[Natalie]

@Cheryl: Yay! I just bought a copy not too long ago.

[Cheryl]

Natalie- great so glad to hear! It's a cute read, think fluff :)

[Loraine]

Our library is processing their copy right now and I am first in line to get to read it!

[Beth]

Cool, Loraine! Once again, you'll be the first to crack the spine of a brand new library book :)

[Rachel]

I am the 3rd hold on this one, so not sure when I'll get to read it.

[Shannah]

I thought I picked this one up when it was free, but I guess not. Oh well, I just purchased it!!!

[Cheryl]

Yay- glad you did Shannah! I'm curious to hear what you think!

[Lisa]

Just ordered it. Can't wait!

[Rachel]

I'm not going to have the chance to join in with this one, but I am intrigued to see what everyone thinks! I've seen some pretty mixed reviews of this book. I never caught on to the royal wedding/baby fever (I was living in St Andrews when Kate & Will married, so it was more annoying than exciting) so the influx of royal books in the last few years has just been amusing ;)

[Beth]

I've seen mixed reviews too, Rachel. I actually voted for a different book, but do happen to have this on Kindle :)

[Cheryl]

I am very curious to see what folks think as I was one of those that thought I would absolutely love this book and it was just Ok for me. I loved The Wedding Dress also by Rachel Hauck, but something just didn't click for me with this one...and I adore common girl gets the royal guy story lines. I am truly excited to hear what everyone else thinks though as who knows if I was just having an off reading time? I know plenty of folks who loved it!

[Janet]

This book, the Wedding Dress, was not my favorite either.

[Sara]

I really enjoyed the book. I just looked at it as a modern day fairy tale and didn't get too caught up in the details. It was just an enjoyable read for me.

[Beth]

Looking forward to reading and discussing! :)
