I forgot how much fun this series is to read. It is about a curvy ex cop turned P.I Savannah Reid. She has a rag tag group that help her solve crimes including Detective Dirk Coulter her flirting partner. In this one they look into a sham doctor that specialized in weight loss. Just a great read and so much fun!! I love Savannah kick butt personality. I also like all the supporting characters. Great series.

This book's cover is so far away from usual biker books covrs that it was weird to add it to TBR. I'm quite happy I read it even when it was not what I expected. The book itself wasn't that long but it dragged too much and that disturbed me.
Too much time went by between chapters and I prefer the book span to be shorter. I really liked the characters and how the love story between Edie and Dawg didn't happen the instant they met.
The other club members were quite likeable and I like that shy Violet and Brick's son get their book.

Yep I should of sent it to the DNF shelf....

This book was interesting. I was a little lost beause I jumped in this series. It is about Bryant and May who are in a member of the Peculiar Crimes Unit. I really enjoy the interesting characters but the changing P.O.v sometimes made me have to go to remember who the characters was. All in all a decent mystery that has two very good cases in the book.

This was horrible! The MC got on my nerves, the plot was flat, and the romantic tension was a joke. If it hadn't of been for a challenge this would of been a DNF! The MC was dull, and I couldn't care less she almost died. I honestly can't think of one good thing to say about it other than thank god it wasn't over 300 pages!
I rolled a 2:(So that's 17

I loved this one! Sabine was awesome, my favorite heroine so far. One of my favorite things about this series is that while the characters are good they have a fantastic bad streak and just how unusual everyone is. Sabine is my new favorite bad girl that's good. It was nice to finally see Rydstrom loosen up too!
How are everyone's reads coming along? Gea I hope you roll bigger than what I did Sunday....
Gagnon, Michelle Don't Turn Around bk 1This is a Ya book by a relatively new author and it was good. Sixteen year old Noa parents are dead and she is on her own.

This book was kind of like Harlequin Presents books but not published by them. I've read one other book from this author and I had the same feeling with that one. This wasn't bad as it makes a quick, easy read in between other books.
I really liked this book as it wasn't too painful to read and I'll be reading next book soon.

I'm actually hoping to sleep in tomorrow as it's holiday and I'll be alone home so there won't be anyone to wake me up before 9 am (I hope lol)
If we roll high numbers all the time we'll miss all those interesting spaces that can make us read books we would otherwise put off for eternity. I just hope I get us in 20s to get some #2 off my TBR
That's a very positive way of looking at it :)What holiday is it there?
I think you have something called Labour day? This is our version of it, it lasts for two days that are work-free (May 1st and 2nd) and big bonfires are lit on the evening of April 30th (I'm skipping that this year, I'm way too tired). I think this holiday was more special to the generation before me as they grew up in comunism and then this was quite a big holiday. Nowadays it's mostly just two days off work and a chance to go on vacation for families as schools have a week long holiday as well.
That's how labor day is here. Just an extended weekend at the end of summer. An excuse to go to the lake, BBQ, or go out of town.Kim hope all is ok and you weren't in the path of the tornados this week!
everything is all ok here. Interesting couple of nights with tornados but quiet now. : ) Space 17

Glad to hear y'all were safe! It was bad hail and lightning but no tornados thank god.

This was a second book in the series and I was quite surprised when I realised it's connected to Wallflowers series. I really like books where main characters don't belong to the ton so this was a bonus for me.
Both Sara and Derek were very interesting characters and it was nice meeting Alex and Lilly from first book again.

Angel is back and knee deep in murder mayhem again. This book has Angel becoming at peace with herself somewhat. It was good to see her and her dad patch things up. I can't speak highly enough for the narrator of this series. She does an amazing job bringing Angel to life. It really is the way to go with this series!
Roberts, Nora Collector SAThis is the latest Nora Roberts, but not up to her usual. . Lila Emerson lives a free-spirited life as a New York housesitter and author of paranormal YA novels. She has a bad habit of bringing binoculars to her housesitting jobs. And lo and behold she witnesses a woman being thrown thru a picture window int he apartmet across the street.

I love this book! It was so much fun! It is about Addy Corwin who is a florist who has a weird meeting while chasing her dog. She meets a demon hunter and the two have to deal with demons while fighting the attraction between them. I love Addy and Brand but truly love some of the supporting characters. I will definitely read the others in the series.
Rolled a 5 ladies!We're on spot 25
We can read a 25th, 2nd, 5th, or the alternate a book set in Kansas
