July 2016 Dusty Bookshelf Challenge

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

Finished the 1st of my dusty books for this month, and I gotta say, this was really good. So good that I went out and bought the rest of the series so I can get started on them any day now...

Hi Trea,

I just realized I never replied about BR for . So sorry! The last 2 months have been crazy, my mom and dad moved (last weekend-yay) and I have been at their house every weekend for the last 6 weeks, to help pack. Today is the first weekend I don't have to go anywhere. I already finished though or I would BR.

Finished my July reads.

7/15/16 ***- it was only ok for me.

7/21/16 **** - Was a great ending to a trilogy. I really enjoy reading this author.

Ah, that's ok. When I didn't hear back from you, I planned on reading it on my own and wound up finishing it myself on the 17th. I also wound up reading the next book in the series too, and it wasn't that good.

Heya, EnglishElle! Finished my second pick this morning . I wasn't that impressed with it, really, but it did let me know if I wanted to finish the series or not! Thanks again for the picks!

Susan,

Again thanks for the picks. One was a hit: ★★★★

The other a dud. ★

Finally finished my second book for July's DB challenge.

was an interesting read, not sure if it was written in French and translated into English or just written using ESL. I give it 4 Stars. Still very readable and literate, even if the author was not a native English speaker.

Sounds like an interesting read indeed! I added it to my TBR :-)
Given the original title is French it was probably written in French and then translated.

That was my thought as well.... Back then, folks were just so much more fluent in multiple languages....

[Nina]

That's true as well. At least, if you were well educated and a writer...

Finished my second pick, , right near the end of the month (which is about usual for me as of late). As with pretty much any Mercedes Lackey book, I freaking adored it. Now I definitely need to read the rest of the series (I'd read #2 and #3 about a decade ago, so I'mma re-read them, as well). Also need to start reading her 500 Kingdoms series again. Totally one of my fave authors. ^_^ Can you tell?

Whoa so many good titles! Okay, you may groan when when you see this, but I'm going to choose as one book..."

Hey Marty, last last minute yesterday night I finished both my books. Thanks again for the great picks, I really enjoyed both of them. They were extremly different on my aspects, though that also made them kind of complementary. Now I want to watch the movie of Breakfast at Tiffany's. And there's also a movie based on Every Man Dies Alone, release date for Europe is September. Though I am not sure whether I want to watch that one. I feel that though the story might be great for a movie, the way the book is written can never be turned into a movie and so I might just be disappointed.
