[Anna]

I finished 4 stars. That was a roller coaster ride. (view spoiler)[I don't get what is so special about Caleb? He didn't seem worth fighting over to me. I didn't like Olivia or Leah at the end. But I still need to know what happens to them! (hide spoiler)] Thanks Ela for making me read this one. :)

[Paula]

Does that mean you are reading dirty red next?

That is why series is so loved! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Paula]

Finished mine - 4* - will read the next one when it is out. Thanks Kate!

[Jan]

Hey! I finished my August read! *pats self on back* The Butterfly Project . I liked it. 3 to 3.5 stars. Thanks Melinda.

Woohoo. Roll on September!

[Leslie]

Havent even started mine yet. Its been a bad reading month for me. Not sure why...someone please light a giant spark under my butt.

[Ela]

3 stars for Bad Things, I'm still not really a MM fan...

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

lol Ela you're being generous. 😜 That was so not the book for a non MM fan.

[Ela]

What can I say Fabi? I'm a generous person 😜😂😕🙄

[Tessa]

I'm going with 3.5 stars on Thicker than Blood. Not enough zombie action for me and I might still not like Alex that much.

[Lisa]

You don't often get to say "Not Enough Zombie Action For Me" enough times during the day. That made me smile!

[Tessa]

:D

[Jan]

Haha Lisa. exactly.

[Kate]

Just finished my pick, the opportunist! (view spoiler)[ It was amazing but where the heck is my HEA!? Ugh I'm so heartbroken for everyone (except Leah because she is the worst) but I could not put this book down. (hide spoiler)] I think I give it 4/4.5 stars, maybe 5 after the series is over!

[Paula]

Kate - you need to read the next two now!

[Grey]

Oh God, i havent read my own book yet! Im fired, lol!

[Kate]

Paula - why did you do this to me!? I've been desperate to start the next one but had to work all day. It's been torture!

[Lisa]

Let me add to the stress, Kate. Book 2 and 3 are a must. Book 3 brings it all full circle!!!!

[Paula]

Sorry (not sorry) Kate!

[Leslie]

I have lost my reading mojo lately and just haven't been able to read much the last few weeks. I WILL finish my book, I will just be a little late. Sorry I am a slacker.

Kate, I am happy you got sucked into the craziness that is The Opportunist series.

[Grey]

I'm with you Leslie... I've been proofing a lot and not reading as much for myself. Plus... I watched a million hours of GoT, LOL! I haven't read my August PFM pick yet either. I suck.

[Anna]

I think this is the time of year for reading slumps. I'm 12 books behind on my reading challenge. I'm just not reading much lately. I haven't read my one word title book yet.

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

I'm in the same boat. August kinda sucked reading wise. I'm hoping for a better September.

[Jan]

No stress ladies. You'll get to it when you get there. I did read my August pfm, but I'm super behind on the challenges otherwise. *shrugs* (I'd do that cool shrugging emoji made with keyboard symbols, but I dunno how LOL.)

[Grey]

I just finished my August book, im gonna do September now, i think lol!

[Leslie]

I am a little late, but I finished my August book!!! Sins of Sevin I liked it, but didnt love it, so I am going with 3.5 ***
