[Eden]

Last month we reported that we read 39 books! Lets go for that 53 this month!!

x2 x4 x5

[Sharon]

Finished a book this morning - Father's Day
I give it 4 stars. It's a really good book about the love between a daughter and a father and how they helped each other grow up. My only complaint is that it ended too abruptly. But a great book!

Awesome!!
That sounds like it may have been a tear jerker.

I just finished Murder Games by James Patterson.

3 star read. I wasn't a huge fan. It was an ok book.

[Keri]

I listened to City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.... again. :P I want to pick back up with book 3, but I want to make sure I remember all the stuff from book 1 and 2 first.

I LOVE Cassandra Clare and this series! I need to reread them. The world is amazing!

Finished The Univited Corpse by Debra Sennefelder.

It’s an ebook NetGalley sent me for a review. It’s 3/5 Stars for me. I’ll post an actual review for anyone interested in cozy mysteries :P

That just happened to me with The Diviners series!! It'll be forever before it comes out too! I know George RR Martin is kinda famous for the lengthy waits between the books D;

[Keri]

And that is exactly why i am hesitant to start them! The first 4 books are on my shelf just looking at me...

[Keri]

Just finished The Devils Triangle by Catherine Coulter. REALLY enjoyed it. Had an Indiana Jones vibe - lol

[Eden]

Finished Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.]
This is definitely more of what I expect from James Patterson. I really enjoyed it!

[Michelle]

Finished Sarah J Mass’ Heir of Fire. Omfg. So. Good. SO GOOD!!

I mean, they're still SO good!! SO very good.

[Keri]

I finished 3 more. City of Ashes Waking Gods The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding

Waking Gods is #2 in a scifi series. Not my normal genre, but i really like this one! Definitely have to read book 1 first. Both books are written in a series of interviews or files. Dreadful tale of prosper redding is a middle grade fantasy book. So freaking cute! I loved this one. It was a quick and easy read and im definitely passing it off to my son. With the way it ended, i really need the next book to come out!

[Emily]

Last night finished One Second After by William R. Forstchen. Not really sure if I would recommend it. Or maybe thats just me. Maybe I'm too impressionable or smth but I'm pretty sure I will have nightmares for a very long time now.

Books affect me that way. I cry easily and if it's scary or twisted, I have a hard time for a while after. It's definitely not just you!

[Eden]

I just finished The Private School Murders by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. This is the second book in the Confessions series.

5/5 Stars! Really enjoyable series!

[Eden]

Also finished Murder on the Orient Express today! I listened to the BBC Production audiobook which was really entertaining. It's about 3-3 1/2 hours long. Definitely recommend this particular audiobook to you all!

[Teresa]

Finished The Safest Lies by Megan Miranda 5 out of 5 stars.

I really liked this book! Was a good mystery unlike anything I've read before and I read a lot of mystery/thriller books. The writing was good and the story line was engaging and kept you guessing the whole time.

[Sharon]

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman. A lot different than the movie but actually better!

[E.J.]

Just finished Murder on the Orient Express. Wonderful writing and will keep you guessing until the end. I read And Then There Were None years ago and I liked that as well.

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Michelle]

I just finished The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani. Omg. 5 stars. I LEGIT cried.

And The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. 4 stars, but only because the Shoemaker's Wife was SO good.

[Michelle]

Okay. I just finished Queen of Midnight by Sarah J Maas. Holy. Crap. 10 Stars!! Ten!

[Teresa]

Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel 4.5 stars I HIGHLY recommend listening to the audiobooks of this series. The voice acting is amazing and they use sound effects. It's like a radio production. Very good!!

[Michelle]

Just finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. It was pretty good! 3.5/5 stars.

[Jenny]

I finished


Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie - 4 ★

[Eden]

I think I've updated everything up to here! All books that we have read multiple times have a "x#" next to the covers :)

Y'all let me know if you ever see something I miss!

[Teresa]

Just finished Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth I'll give it 4.8 stars. Not quite a 5 but it was pretty dang good!

[Keri]

Ok. Listened to Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor as a re read.. Still a 3 star read for me. Peolpe rave about this series, but im just having trouble getting into it. Ill try book #2 again and see.

I also read Bear and the Nightingale. Beautifully written and amazing start to a new fantasy series. 4 stars.

Lastly, finished The Lying Game by Ruth Ware. REALLY enjoyed it. So many twist plots and very dark and twisty. 4 stars

Agreed!!! I can't wait for the next one!

[Michelle]

I just finished listening to Cinder on audiobook. So very good!! Not as good as the Throne of Glass serires, but good enough that I'm anxiously awaiting my copy of Scarlett!

[Keri]

I have heard from multiple people, including my teenager, that the rest of the books in the lunar series are better than Cinder. I'm about 40% done, and I really like it :)

[Eden]

I'll be starting Cinder soon! I'm excited about it. I've had it on my shelf forever and never picked it up! I'm also going to buy the rest of the Throne of Glass series soon, because I need to know all the things that happen. XD

[Keri]

Finished Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. I enjoyed it SO much more than her gods and monsters series. I need the 2nd book now. Oh, and.... I WON A GOODREADS GIVEAWAY FOR MY FAVORITE AUTHOR!!!! Im getting a free copy of Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts! I never win anything - lol

YAY!!! to the giveaway! That's awesome. I feel like I enter new giveaways here every day and they are so rare to win! And how great is it that it's your favorite author!!!?

I've had Strange the Dreamer on my wish list forever and have heard AMAZING things about it. I need to just go ahead and buy it :D

[Keri]

lol at Eden. I just finished Borne by Jeff Vandermeer. gave it 2.5 stars.

This might be one of the weirdest books I ever read. The plot never grabbed me, and I thought the ending was strange and left too many questions. However, the personality yhe author gave to a non human entity was great. Borne made me laugh. It was like he was a child just needing someone to tell him what to do and teach him about life. This is not my usual genre, and I dont really feel compelled to read more from this author

[Teresa]

Finished by The Chase by DiAnn Mills I'll give it 3/5 stars. It was enough to keep me going to the end, but it was not anything extra exciting. Pretty generic in my opinion

[Keri]

Finished Cinder. LOVED IT!

[E.J.]

Just finished Cinder...I want more!!!!
4 stars
