82?! That's incredible. Sending her hugs too.

[Ela]

I'm so very sorry for your loss Jean! Sending lots of prayers, love, and hugs!

[Jean]

I love you guys! Seriously, I've missed you all! Thank you so much for the warm thoughts.....they really mean a lot!

[Leslie]

Jean, that is awful. I'm sorry you have to go thru that. Sending big fat hugs! I am glad you and your family have a good support system. Perhaps losing yourself in a good book will give you a much needed escape.

[Tessa]

I'm sorry Jean! I know it's got to be hard but I'm glad you all have each other. It's always hard to lose a sibling, especially to a terminal iillness. *huggles*

[Grey]

Anna, Grey, Jan, Jean, Michelle, Renee, Robin... alright girlies... check in with your statuses on your Pick for Me reads this month!

I am half way thru mine 🙃 sorry it has taken me so long!

[Robin]

I haven't started mine :-/

I'm skipping all challenges in June hoping to catch up!

[Nay]

Excuuuuse me--there are still 10-ish days left in the month--that's a whole 1/3! lol

I will be reading my pick as soon as I finish the End of Day BR--no pressure, right? But if it's as good as everyone says it is, I won't be able to put it down!

[Lisa]

Nay - you are going to absolutely love Noah. I'm excited for you to read this one!!

[Leslie]

Nay, I think you will enjoy Rush and it will probably be pretty quick read too. I have to say that Endless Possibilities really compliments the story...so if you love Rush, you will want to read that one too. But it's also a quick read, so no biggie waiting til end of month.

Tell Grey to hold her horses! Hee hee 😃

[Leslie]

My challenges are pretty easy. Since I am in a stupid book slump everything is a DNF.

Grrrrrrrr! 😠

[Jean]

I haven't completed either of my challenges either. End of Day BR on Wednesday will complete one of them. But still have to read my "try again" book.

Leslie, sorry you've been struggling to find that perfect book! It will happen eventually!

[Grey]

sorry... I was just being reminder Grey, you know the other hat I wear when I'm not being... oooh, squirrel... look at that shiny pretty new book 😂*giggle*

I started It Ends With Us then squirreled to a bunch of library holds that came in at the same time. I hope to finish it this week. I haven't started my try again book yet.

[Nay]

Grey--I was just kidding! 😜 Remind away! The way my memory is lately, I definitely need it!

[Leslie]

I was only teasing Grey! You are doing a good job moderating the slackers. Hee hee

[Ela]

Oh oH ohhhhhhhhh! I don't know if I posted this but Hausfrau WAS NOT the book for me, sadly 1 star.

[Jan]

Umm. I've stalled on mine at 39%. It's just not really grabbing me. It's very slow. I mean, isn't it a damn shifter book? And has anyone shifted yet? Nooooooo. Oh well, May's not over yet.....

[Anna]

Finished 4 stars. Wow...that was really heavy. I need to read something fluffy next.

[[deleted user]]

Jean, I haven't been on this forum for a bit, but I want to offer my condolences.

Grief is hell, honestly. So please take care of yourself.

[Jean]

Thank you so much bev.....I've been wondering where you were!

[Grey]

3 days left in May peeps... *dashes back into the blankie fort to escape dirty looks*

No worries, I only finished my Pick for me read, now I'm going to do my Try, Try Again read...

Anna have you read Sustained yet? Maryse is loving it. It's light and funny and clever, but not cheesy crap. Might be just what you're craving.

I haven't read Sustained. Emma Chase's heroes tend to not work for me. I'm reading At Peace by KA at the moment. It's not fluffy but I'm loving it.

Actually I'm not normally an Emma Chase fan either but I loved that one. You could put it on the tbr.....

I loved At Peace too.

[Nay]

I finished **4 stars!

I've been wanting to read it forever and now, I'm so glad I did. Great pick, Leslie--thanks!!

[Leslie]

Nay, glad you enjoyed it. :)

[Jean]

Renee, you MUST read Endless Possibility now! It is a short novella after Rush and totally completes the story!!!!!

[Leslie]

Nay, what Jean said.

[Jean]

Loved my pick Niki! Definite 5 stars for the whole damn series

Fabi, have you done our June picks yet? (No pressure)
