Trea,
once we figure out who all is missing picks, we can pair them together.

I am making BR threads but will check back in a few if you need me.
Thanks.

Looks like we only have two folks who need re-picks this month, so awesome job all!

Amy picks for Colleen
Colleen picks for Amy

Ladies, please try to get the picks up for each other no later than the 29th, so that the other person has time to get it from the library/store if necessary!

Thanks Colleen! I've started Loving Frank a few times and haven't made it far. This will give me a little push!

Anna, technically V Audio Nerd is not required to re-pick for you because you forgot that this book was on your Dusty Bookshelf and read it before September. Her pick was a legitimate one. It will be up to her if she picks another book for you or not.

Should you participate in the Dusty Bookshelf in future months, please do not read the books on your Dusty Bookshelf until after the person picking for you has chosen your books.

Jim Townsend | 69 comments There must be a difference between a field boyfriend (one found in, say, a cornfield rather than in a bar or pub) and a filling boyfriend.

Thank you for being kind enough to re-pick for her, V. I really appreciate it and I am sure Ezi does too!

*laughs*

Jim, I believe Anna uses a voice to text program, which is why her posts come out garbled sometimes. The book she's referring to is The Fill-In Boyfriend, which is an altogether different thing from both a field boyfriend and a filling boyfriend!

I think it's "Shake My Head", but i'm not down with the cool kids lingo these days so it probably means something completely different haha

I regularly goggle text lingo. I have a kid brother. So while I've been 18 for the last 20 years, my mtv loving little brother keeps me current.

That makes more sense than what I thought it meant. I thought it meant "so much hate."

Five stars rating.


message 231: by Clare (last edited Sep 02, 2015 05:12PM) (new)

Clare (-clare-) Finished The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells last night after having it on my TBR list for at least 15 years LOL! Couldn't really get to grips with the paperback but once i'd switched to a kindle version it got much easier to read and understand. Giving it 3.5 stars
Thanks for the pick Paris. :)

Now onto my next one.

Am I the only one that would more likely read something called The Field Boyfriend than The Fill-In Boyfriend? That'd be one of those titles that you would be required to read, just to see what it was about. And I'm betting it'd be an odd little romcom, too (which are some of my faves). Or maybe I'm just strange...


message 235: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 489 comments Just finished Marked (Hostage Rescue Team #1) by Kaylea Cross and loved it, so much so that I was right it was a five star rating book, if you love hot looking cops ,romance,and action then your like this one , looks like I found a new series to get in to.thinks once again LaurLa for a really great read.


message 236: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 489 comments Just started Nefertiti's Heart (Artifact Hunters, #1) by A.W. Exley and it looks like maybe I got another five star book,because what I've read so far I'm loving.


message 237: by Anna (new)

Anna (annasweetrose) | 80 comments Y'all started already you'll make me feel like a slacker

Elizabeth | 489 comments I'm enjoying and loving Nefertiti's Heart (Artifact Hunters, #1) by A.W. Exley ,so much more then I thought I would onces again thinks LaurLa for picking it for me.


message 239: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 489 comments Omg i just finished Nefertiti's Heart (Artifact Hunters, #1) by A.W. Exley and I loved it, so much so that I want to go and get the 2nd book in the series when I can

I really did...they were both great choices...although I have been drinking coffee like a fiend, because it plays a big part in both stories.


Kay (Brigidsmomma) Compton (brigidsmomma) | 565 comments Finished the first of my DB books: Hearts of Avon by Scott Toney Pretty good, but only 4 stars as the ending kind of just falls off...

Not yet, but I did copy 1 recipe that I would like to try.


message 246: by Colleen (new)

Colleen (colls) | 491 comments I just finished The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman and while I liked the writing, I didn't care for the characters that much which lessened the impact for me.

Anna (annasweetrose) | 80 comments I started the book losing Logan


message 248: by Minerva (new)

Minerva (minervaclaire) Screwups by Jamie Fessenden 4 stars
A coming out story. Very low angst. Sweet.

Regularly Scheduled Life (Ohio Books, #1) by K.A. Mitchell 4 stars
So let me preface this by saying I'm not a fan of established couples. I've had this book for a long time (about a year) but kept putting it off because of this. Ahem, I may have missed out on a great book if it weren't for a challenge. This is a tear jerker. It had me tearing up in the beginning middle and end. It also had me wanting to bitch slap the MCs. Their inability to effectively communicate with each other less to unnecessary drama. In the end Sean pulls his head out of his ass and we get our HEA

Kari | 633 comments I finished both of my picks and really liked them Hearts of Fire (Hearts, #2) by L.H. Cosway Sweet Home (Sweet Home, #1) by Tillie Cole , 5 and 4 stars. Happy both got chosen :)
