June 2017: All Together Now Group Challenge

[Lisa Kay]

                      
              ~ All Together Now: A June Group Challenge ~

We’re going to see if we can all pitch in and spell something.

For June let’s try the words “Sneak in a Little Summer Fun with Lisa Kleypas.”

RULES: Only ONE book per person may be submitted. You may reserve your letter now, on a first come, first serve. However, you may change your mind later in the month, just let us know as soon as possible.

Read a book with a title, series name, author’s (first or last name), character (first or last name), that begin with the letter that correspond to letters of the words we have chosen. You may ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc.).

Example of Spell-It-Out in Post #2 below. If you need to know, here is info on how to Add a Book or Bookcover Link.

I'm so very sorry this is late. I got a new job (which doesn't require many hours) ... but then I got a cold and all I've been doing is sleeping and feeling sorry for myself.

[Lisa Kay]

If you want to use a book that you've already read for June, that is fine with me.

Again... sorry!

[kathie]

Don't feel sorry Lisa Kay, thanks for putting this together each month! I would like to take "W" for by C.S. Harris please.

[Vintage]

Hope you are feeling better. Colds are worse than strep sometimes as you just have to endure.

[Vintage]

, "S" for Caleb Sutton.

[Elaine]

Lisa Kay, I'm not yet ready to participate, but please keep me on your email list. Finding extremely difficult at the moment. Perhaps another couple of months, I can't really say.
Thank you 😔

[AliciaJ]

I'll take N for by Nalini Singh. It's coming out next week.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I hope you are feeling better, Lisa Kay. I would like an I for by Eva Devon please.

[Lindy-Lane]

an "E" for the character edward auburn in by Jessica Dotta

[Jewlsbookblog]

Hope you feel better soon! I'll take R for by Lexi Blake

[Lisa Kay]

Welcome to the team, Kathie, Vintage, AliciaJ, Carol, Lindy-Lane, & Julie.

Will do, Elaine. Hope your world gets calmer.

Thanks for the well-wishes, ladies!

[Elena]

Thank you Lisa for putting this fun challenge together. No need to apologise ever. Get better!
May I please have 'A' for by Ilona Andrews?

[Lisa Kay]

Welcome to the team, Elena!

[E.]

Hope you feel better, Lisa Kay!

I'm going to take you up for the book being read already.I just finished reading by Christine Feehan. You can pick which letter will be used for the book.

And considering how sporadic my reading phases are, I'm sticking to this book for this challenge, even though I have a feeling that I probably will read at least one more book before the month is over.

[Lisa Kay]

Congrats, E.! Do you have a star rating?

...June flower of the month...the rose...

[Sonja]

As it happens, I have Sugar Daddy on my TBR this month. I'll take the L in Lisa!

[Sharlene]

I got a signed copy of Three Weeks With a Princess by Vanessa Kelly, so I will make that my read for June! Thanks, Lisa! Congrats on the new job & hope you are feeling better!

[Lisa Kay]

Welcome to the team, Sonja & Sharlene!

Ahhh, my favorite! I love pink roses :)

[kathie]

BJ Rose...I really enjoyed this book. perhaps light on romance side with the mystery/suspense in the forefront but a sexy hero to spend time with..hope you enjoy.

[Lisa Kay]

Congrats, Kathie!

[Amanda]

Hope you're feeling better now, Lisa Kay, and enjoying your new job! Could I get an M for by Amanda Quick? It's one of my top 5 Quick titles, so I reread it in audio this month. 5 stars for the book, maybe 4 stars for the narration by Barbara Rosenblat. I just didn't think she evoked the spirit of Quick as well as Anne Flosnik. Although I will listen to the other M books she narrates to see if my opinion changes...

Looking forward to my rose--June's my birthday month! :)

[Lisa Kay]

Congrats, Amanda! Yes, feeling much better, thanks!

I had a lot of stuff going on & got a little scattered with my reading. Hopefully I am back on track!
