Dawn's August 2015 Reads

[Dawn]

I just finished Broken Promises while eating my breakfast, so that'll wrap up August for me! I've been able to read more than usual (for me) this summer. Its been great.

Broken Promises by Linwood Barclay 7/10 - The David Harwood we met in Never Looks Away is trying to pick up the pieces of his life. But when his cousin is suspected of kidnapping a baby and murder, he's right in the middle of it. Many unresolved plots that will continue in Far From True out in March.

Ever After by Jude Deveraux 7/10 - Enjoyable light read where main character, Hallie, inherits a home where Jamie is being allowed to recuperate from an accident

City of Echoes by Robert Ellis 7/10 - Matt Jones is newly assigned to Homicide and immediately in the midst of a serial killer case. It took me awhile to warm up to some of the main characters, but in the end I did. Just found this story a bit far fetched.

Solomon vs Lord by Paul Levine 9/10 Loved the first of this series. When I went to record on my excel I found I had read it years ago (I liked it then too). Excel worksheets only work if you look at them. Seriously, glad for the reread as a refresher as I plan to continue with the series.

The Deep Blue Alibi by Paul Levine - 9/10 Book 2 of the series.

The Bourbon Kings by JR Ward 8/10 - First in a new romance series. Lane Bradford is pulled back into the family fold after a series of disasters hit.

Good month Dawn. I also just finished Broken Promises. By the time the
next book comes out, I'll probably forget what I read in the other book.

Nice month, Dawn. Did you remember the book at all while re-reading it?

[Merrilee in AZ]

I have Bourbon Kings on hold at the library

I love Levine's stuff. His newest might be the best of all.

Too true about Excel files, Dawn! Good looking monthly list! I had picked City of Echoes as my August Kindle first selection but haven't started it yet.

I want to read Bourbon Kings! Good month. :)

City of Echoes is on my read list for October, so is the Dead Room. Looking forward to it.

I have my books in Google Docs so I can call them up on the phone while shopping.

[Dawn]

Dan, no I didn't, but it was a good six years ago that I read it. Thats what a prompted by excel sheet...too many times I bought a book and as I read, I remembered it. Barry, it was your rave on his new book that prompted me to (re)start the series. Ann, thats how I got City of Echoes as well! What did you choose for September? Hope you all enjoy Bourbon Kings as much as I did.

[Ann]

Dawn: the Kindle First title I selected for September is Hot Sur. With six selections to narrow to one, tough choices! Which one did you select?

[Dawn]

I had a hard time choosing, but went with the thriller, The Prettiest One.

[Melodie]

I got Pale Queen Rising

[Melodie]

I used to read Jude Devereaux years back. Been a long time since I picked up one by her!

[Dawn]

Melodie, I enjoyed Devereaux's older books more, but this one was ok.
