bev--I was considering picking that for Robin, but the GR rating was below 4, and since I've never read it, I didn't want to take the chance on picking a crappy less-than-stellar book. But I guess it just depends on if the writing or the story line has more of an impact on how a reader rates a book.

Nooo! It's the other way around. I feel lost! *sniff sniff*

I'm going to have to find a way to set aside at least an hour a day to get on GR to stay caught up while I'm editing. It's just that I usually get on here, and before I know it, hours have passed and half my 'productive time' is gone! lol

I'm temporarily throwing in the towel for A Life Less Beautiful. I can't get into it and I think it's because of the back and forth. I'm curious enough to finish it, but I want to wait until I can give it more attention. And The Unrequited comes out tonight and I was told I must start it immediately. Plus, present tense. ALLB was past and present. I didn't realize that or I probably wouldn't have had it on my list for this month!

[Grey]

*chants* yes, yes, yes! read it!!

[Grey]

How is everyone doing with their July reads??? I wanna update the list! I know... shameless, I am!

I'm reading Amy's pick for me, . I'm almost halfway done and it's so freakin' good. Been sitting in my tbr since March 2016.

[Tessa]

Infamous Ellen James was just 3 stars. Sweet but not my type of humor.

[Lisa]

So my pick for me was The Opportunist, which I 4.5 starred. I also decided to just read the series. I also 4.5 starred Dirty Red. I'm reading Thief right now. I believe I'm probably going to end up giving this series as a whole 5 stars. I love me a male POV story, and I bet Book 3 is gonna take this right up to 5 stars!!!

[Jean]

Lisa, I LOVED Thief the best!!! Loved finally getting his POV!

[Leslie]

Thief was the best for me too! What a wild ride that series was.

[Ela]

So who's reading Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland????

[Jean]

I want to read Beautiful Mistake, but haven't bought it yet! I love Vi Keeland! I'm too involved in the Court right now though....you may not hear from me until I'm out!

[Grey]

oh Jean, I totally get it.

[Grey]

I'm reading Bad Mommy by Tarryn Fisher.

[Jean]

I'm finishing up book 1 at my desk right now. It's addictive! LOVE IT!! No boss today! Yay!

[Jean]

Bad Mommy.....hmmmm, it was my least favorite book by Tarryn, but I still remember it vividly so that's something. Curious to see what you think of it Grey.
