Great, I'll sign us up! I'll make it a sign up for the series, and we can work it out from there as to if/when we'll read the rest of them.
Finished 
by Nicole Peeler 6/3/16Gave it 3 Stars.
I liked it a bit better than the first. Jane has been training to get better with her power and while she has gotten better, she is still out of her depth. This book really gets into the series arc with the bad guys and puts a big twist on Jane's life. Lots of humor and sexual undertones, but still a bit "tinny-bopper" for me. (that's my word and I'm sticking to it). I think the books will get better as they go on.

Heya, Michelle! I finished my first pick this morning,
. It was a good read, but the heroine's attitude got a bit old. At least I know I want to read the rest of the series now, so that's a win in my book!
EnglishElle,I finished
and loved it, thank you for getting me to listen to it!
Just finished the first of my two picks,
. Adventures was so good, I absolutely adored it. Unfortunately, Looking-Glass suffered possibly from sequel-itis, and it wasn't as good. Still cute, but nowhere near as great as the first book. Still love the Cheshire Cat, and now I kinda want to watch the animated Disney version again (like I ever need an excuse?). It was weird to see how Disney had combined the two books for the movie, though. Definitely glad that I finally got around to finishing it, though. I've had that paperback for almost a decade, I think? Four stars, would rewatch the animated Disney version again anyway.(and it was really weird reviewing a book that was actually two books)

"Glad you enjoyed them both! I dipped into the Alice Clayton series myself, on your recommendation! Egads! What an awesome book!
so glad to hear that Trea! With Last Call, I have finished two of her series! She's a great writer!

Finished my final pick for the month, Michelle! Glad to have gotten
off my TBR, for certain, but it felt a bit off to me as I read it. Rounded up to a 4 star rating.

@Chelle I finished
today. I enjoyed the story, but I felt it ended too abruptedly and was left with an "is that all there is?" feeling. It was a 3 Star read for me. Thanks again for the selection.
❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Lothaire Dacianoღ♥ღ LOL! I just now realized I did not mark down the books you picked for me correctly. However, I did read it anyway, so all's well.
-- this was an entertaining book. There was some controversy about it a few months back, but I'm not sure why this book was singled out.I thought you picked
which I didn't much like, but you picked
which was a 5 star read.Thanks for these picks!
Finished
last night and gave it 4 stars! Holding out hope I will get to
before the end of the month
COMPLETION POSTPicked by Alessia
Completed 6/14
★~ I was not a fan. THIS is why.
Completed 6/20
★★★★~ I love Harlan Coben. This book was great and sucked me in from the first chapter. My only complaint would be maybe a little more explanation at the end about what happened to some of the secondary characters. Especially Tyrese and his family. Other than that it was a great book.
THANKS FOR THE PICKS!

That happens to me quite a bit, Chelle! I usually wind up reading three or four books off my Dusty Bookshelf, including the ones picked for me, just because I'm in the mood for them. I just view it as moving them off the Mountain that is my To Be Read pile!

I finished
. 3.5 stars - sweet romance spanning 1912-present day.

Thanks so much. I love the Cat Who series, and I really enjoyed the first Miss Julia book and I'm looking forward to moving in that series.
