Easy! Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I grabbed it when it was on sale, but I have been wanting to read it for forever.

Truly by Ruthie Knox.

[Jan]

Risk by Dannika Dark.

I haven't read that! I should get around to re-reading the Mageri series so I can read the books that came later.

[Ela]

I have no clue...someone pick for me, please.

[Leslie]

Ela, let me check your shelves...

[Tessa]

I'm looking too. Any specific mood type?

[Jan]

Ela. On the other thread, I thought from your (HUGE) tbr shelf, maybe . It's new and getting a good rap. Are you in the mood for a bit of YA?

[Ela]

Not sure I want YA....

[Ela]

How about some PNR?

[Grey]

I think I'll probably do lots of one word titles this month. The big one will be Hideaway by Penelope Douglas.

[Jan]

Ooh. Looks creepy Grey. Ela have you read Risk? Dannika Dark. It's pnr. My pick for me.

I'll definitely be reading that book!

[Leslie]

Ela, I had a bunch all typed in and they disappeared before I hit "post". Grrrrr

I am going to have to look them up again. But if you want pnr, i am no help.

How about Extinguish by JM Darhower?

[Leslie]

Ela, let me know if you still want suggestions. How about reading Forget with me? 😉

LOVED THE FIRST BOOK!

Thanks Jan, I'll check it out.

[Ela]

Thanks ladies! I think I'll do Extinguish.

[Tessa]

Alright, it's Aug. 2 and I finished Graceling. 4 stars. A few too many missed opportunities and a few flat secondaries in it made me have to lower the score, but it was fun and kept me interested all day.

[Lisa]

Damn overachievers. I haven't started ANY of my monthly challenges. I'm trying to finish an ARC that has me struggling a bit. Yanno - I guess I have to accept I'm not a huge fan of YA. While they do tend to be heavy on angst (which I adore), I just really don't connect so much to the characters because I'm like ancient now!!!

[Grey]

I have to pick a new one word title because it looks like Hideaway has been shifted back til a September release... hmmmm

Nooooooooooooo!

[Leslie]

Grey, I saw Broken (dark and erotic) and Him (sexy m/m hockey players) on your TBR

Both are fabulous!

[Jan]

Tessa has finished her challenge on Aug 2??? WaaaaHHHHH??? I haven't even STARTED mine yet. WTG Tessa!

[Tessa]

lol I just really wanted to read it. I don't think it should have been in the best YA fantasy category, but then again, neither should have The Selection (which is sci-fi, not fantasy).

[Grey]

I think I will go with Sparrow actually.

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

I was seriously debating skipping out on this challenge since, apparently, I can't pick my own books. Every single month has been a dnf.

But, here it is August. One word month. And I just happen to be reading a one word title book which is an ARC ... and practically guaranteed to be good.

This will not be a dnf! So...for August I'm reading

[Tessa]

You got the Andy Weir ARC? Congratulations!

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

Yassss. Couldn't be more excited.

[Grey]

yay! congrats Fabi!

and Happy birthday, Tessa!!!🎂🎈❤🎉❤🎂🎈

[Tessa]

:D Thank you Grey!!

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

Awww I didn't realize it was your bday Tessa. Hope you have a happy happy one. :-)

[Lisa]

Tessa - hope you have an amazing birthday!!! In your honor, I shall read a book, LOL

[Tessa]

Thank you Lisa and Fabi. Lisa, I command you read a five star that's unknown to everyone and will thrill everyone. (Because, you know, that's an easy find, right?)

[Leslie]

Happy Birthday Tessa!!! ⚘ ❤ 🎉🎈

Hope you have lots of 🎂 & 🥂 & most importantly 📖!!

[Jan]

Happy birthday Tessa. Have a lovely day. *smooches on cheek*

Wow Fabi. Lucky you for getting that ARC. We're all dying to know what it's like. Big shoes to fill.

[Tessa]

:D Thank you Leslie and Jan!

[Jean]

Happy birthday Tessa!

[Tessa]

Thank you Jean!

[Grey]

Edited first post. Let me know if you need me to add your books to the challenge... there are a few that I didn't see, I wasn't sure if you weren't participating this month??? haha!

[Jean]

I have so many 1-word title books to choose from! But decided today, I'm reading Wrecked by Jeannine Collette!

I have a lot of one word title books too. I picked by Rachel van Dyken. Eagle Elite is my favorite mafia series.

[Grey]

Yay! Anyone else joining in the fun ?!?

[Paula]

Count me in Malaise by Max Henry will be my choice

[Lisa]

You can add me up there if you get a chance (pointing at the top of the page). I'm reading

[Grey]

Woohoo! *tosses confetti*
