Oh, sorry, I meant 21! I know I see her review 3 books a day! lol 😵

That's perfect, Tessa! I got behind..."


Right? And it ends on a major CH, so you'll HAVE TO get the next book and read it right after. 😇

Nay (4ukcats) Oooh, Ela--I'm anxious to see how you feel about Deeper! I LOVED it--it's one of my all-time favorite books because for me, it was hauntingly beautiful and majorly angsty. However, some of my friends at the time weren't as excited about it. The reviews are full of mixed feelings as well. I hope you connect with the characters like I did! 😍

Well that certainly doesn't suck! Now I'm glad I waited because that'll be awesome to go from one to the other.

Ooh thanks Kooloo! I've been putting off reading this for ages Dunno why??? Cos it's got lots of good reviews. I didn't actually read my last month's pick yet so I'll try to do better this month. *blushes*

Melinda, my pickee, I will go and have a look at your list now. Been out this morning getting a haircut. Now, down to the serious business of picking......


message 60: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) Ooh Melinda. I like your list. I need to think a bit more. A new Rachel Higginson. Hmmmm. Looks good if a bit dark... I couldn't finish Badger (I know) or The Time In Between. (Am I sick of KA, or was this just really boring? idk) All those Sawyer Bennetts...... Evelyn Hugo........ Eligible bastard could be fun.....*scratches head meditatively*

Huh. Different strokes for different folks. Glad you enjoyed it Melinda. I just struggled with all of the messaging etc and all of the short bites of info. Couldn't seem to make any headway and didn't get drawn in enough.
