How does this work?"This round is finished already for posting/choices but for next time: Halfway through the month the mods will make a post for the following month. You comment with your "bookshelf", a list of 10 books that have been sitting on your to-read pile. After about a week, the mods will pair us up and someone will choose two of those books for you to read the coming month, and you will choose two books for whoever you were paired with.
If you read message #2 on the first page of this post, Ezi explains it :)

I read Curious yesterday.
4 stars (I think the warning pushed me over the edge, every time I read it, it cracks me up)
Warning: Contains explicit m/m nookie. A lot of it. Very detailed. Two men getting kinky, talking dirty and doing the horizontal mambo. Are you reading this? Do you see them on the cover? Guy parts will touch. You have been warned.

Finished my 1st DB 
3*
Enjoyed it but still like the EIT series better.
Sorry I haven't up date before now,had to send off my apple iPad to get fixed because the screen got cracked,and my windows phone been acting up,so anyway I just got done with
and I loved it,even though its only 36 pages I still give it five stars. Will be getting the rest of the series,thinks Amy for picking it for me,hope my last book for this challenge is a great read to
Keep Your Friends Close by Paula Daly
I finished this book and really liked it in a creepy if-you-have-friends-like-that-who-needs-them kind of way!
Rated it ☆☆☆☆ and now need to check out more books by the twisted Ms Daly..
I have finished the first of my August challenge books, UNDER A RAGING MOON. Unfortunately, it wasn't that good, so I could only give it 3 stars. Hopefully, the other book for this month is better, but of not, at least I have my FWYS challenge series and my Serial reader challenge books to keep me busy... OR, then other 265+ books on my TBR... LOL!

I liked this better than EIT, and I didn't enjoy this one that much, LOL!
Mod
only 265 on your TBR, that's light, LOL
Ezinwanyi~the Impish Angel wrote: "I liked this better than EIT, and I didn't enjoy this one that much, ..."Blasphemy!
I finished Trust 4 stars, and a nice end to the series
and
Curious 4 stars. I love the warning on that one...cracks me up every time. But also made me afraid the book was going to be super cheesy. When it turned out to be a pretty good book, it exceeded my expectations.
Mod
Blasphemy!"
Yep, knew you and/or Jenne would come for me:D
I liked
trilogy best
Mod
. I didn't enjoy this one as much as some of my other books. It wasn't bad but I think maybe it needed something more. It was a relatively short book so maybe if it was longer and gave you more insight into the characters. I am glad I read it though. The author has potential so maybe I will read something else by this one.
LOL! I need to re-read that trilogy. Those were my first Karina Halle books. (Then Devils Metal):)
Ezi... that's just the want to read list on my kindle... There's another mess that are hard copies (ppbk and hardcover) not to mention the currently reading or the want to read wish list... Probably more like 500+... and that's just so far... have I mentioned I will read almost anything?...

I don't really know what I think about it and it totally changed from what I thought it was going to be I like this is Spence is the end but it was way too far-fetched for me to think what did you think of it if you read it
So I finished
and give it a one star, just didn't like it ,like I was hoping to, didn't even like the main character Daemon because he was and is a big jerk. won't be getting the rest of the series.

Ok. I will pass on the book for now
I just finished Ultraviolet. And I'm not quite sure how I feel about this one I like the scientific stuff in it and it is not what you think it's going to be going into it I'm not even sure not going to write a review on this one sub say I have no idea how I feel but I think you should definitely give it a chance
I started
Sharcano. I love monster B movies and this seemed to be like that. I am torn so far between loving the cheesy B movie style horror, and being very disappointed by the writing. But..I'm still reading it, so it can't be that bad....right?

Colleen I finished up
- while I enjoy each book - they are too short to rate more than 3 stars. Thanks for the pick and I'm gong to try to finish up Vol 5 this month too so I can complete a series. Not sure how it will wrap up in one more short novella - seems like too much going on with too many characters, lol
COMPLETION POST
My Rating: ★★★☆☆
Picked By: Jenne
Final Thoughts: I enjoyed this book. Wasn't my favorite by this author but it was still fast paced and entertaining. I liked the little twist at the ending. (view spoiler)
Finished Dusty bookshelf challenge part one Ultraviolet
My rating is 3 1/2 stars
Final thoughts – the first part of this book what's a realistic and a little slow though the second half with the science-fiction route and is where all the action happened I'm not really sure how I feel about this book I think it's one of those books you have to read and decide for yourself
Finished both my picks
and
Finished
5 stars - Loved this book. Couldn't put it down. It did end in a CH so I will be reading on in this series.

It's a fantasy series? Set and I fake time.?

I know...lol. Now I have to figure out how to fit the next book into my full Aug schedule.
I read my first book
. I gave it 3 stars. This did not have as much mystery and suspense as I would have liked in a mystery book but overall it was a fast read that kept me interested. Thanks for the pick Ezi!
I finished
last night. I have to say, compared to Dean's third book, The Mirrored World, this was a disappointment. I would have liked more focus on the main character, Marina, and her experiences in the Hermitage during WWII and less on the present day. At least it's off my TBR. On to the next book.
