Finished my first pick - Cloudstreet by Tim Winton. Struggled to get through as I didn't love the writing style.
Hey again Elke, I read another quick one, to total three so far. Jax's Dilemma, Chiah Wilder

Nicolina-I finished One Reckless Summer. I gave it 2 1/2 stars (or I would if we were allowed to give half stars). Story read quickly--bad boy/good girl and the bad boy definitely had some redeeming value. I just don't think the author did a good job of showing us what was valuable about the relationship outside of hot sex. Thanks for the recommendation. Probably the only one I will finish this month between too much work and too many challenges but I put your others on my PIFM shelf.
Thx again Elke. I have been reading a lot this weekend to catch up on this challenge so another one done to now make 4! I plan to do at least one more.Unlawful Desire, Chelle Bliss

So glad you enjoyed the pics!!
Hi Crystal!I finished one of your picks for me, The Pharaoh and the Curator. Thanks for the push to get this short story off my tbr :)
I wish it were longer and the characters more fleshed out, but I still enjoyed it. A fun little story to read in between longer books :)
Hi Ashley,I just finished Petals on the River
, and it was REALLY good! I had read some books by Kathleen Woodiwiss a long time ago and had forgotten how good they really are. They are definitely romances in the 'bodice ripper' genre, but this one was so much more than that. Thanks for the rec!There are also others on your list that I intend to read, but just couldn't get to them all this month!

Great month, really enjoyed Against the Wind, A Certain Wolfish Charm, The Debutante Is Mine, Double Cross, The Last Viking, The Restorer, and Trickery.
I think my favorite was The Haunting of Maddy Clare- which I was worried about because I'm a weeny & don't go in for horror normally- but was really great! Thanks!
Alexis,I have finished my second pick
and enjoyed it. Thanks for the pick.
GAAH! Diane ~Firefly~
I have hit a reading wall! After I finished
and then
for the Hunger Games challenge I cannot seem to get into ANY of the books on my shelf! I have
and
both, but I've tried and tried and I just can't get into them! I don't think it's the books themselves, I think I'm in a slump! HELP!
@ Sonja - when I'm in a reading slump I either take a couple days break from reading and do other things I enjoy or I re-read one of my favorite books. I hope this helps.

Thanks lady!
Mary-Megan, I finished Red Lily. Thank you for getting it off my TBR list. I am going to continue with When Lightning Strikes. I added some of your picks to my TBR list.

I'm glad to hear you're interested in some of the recommendations!
Hi Shelby! I was terrible about updating everything in September, but I did manage to read several of you picks! But I cheated and read one in August - I couldn't wait. =)Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward 8.29.17 - So sweet!
Master of Freedom by Cherise Sinclair 9.5.17 - Not her best, but still good.
Chaos in Death by J.D. Robb 9.9.17 - Love this series!
Ride Rough by Laura Kaye 9.25.17 - Loved this too!
Thanks for the great picks, I have more I want to get to soon too!
Leigh I only managed to read
, and it didn't do it for me. But it's another book knocked off the mountain. I do have
and
checked out from the library though. Just need to get to them.

, but just did not have time over the weekend to finish. Hoping to finish it this week! Thank you for the great picks!
