PIFM - Chat/Banter/Review Your June 2018 Read

[Melanie]

Well I couldn’t help myself I started reading Don’t let go...I think it will be the winner. This is only the 2nd book by this author for me, I think he’s going to be a great summer read. His chapter style is fast paced and keeps me turning pages.

Good for you!

[Christine]

I love reading those Harlan Coben books

[Amber]

I still need a vote from Christine. She hasn't updated her votes since mid-April.

[Christine]

I thought I did vote

[Amber]

Not for me or anyone else other than the only two names listed on your original post, Christine.

Read the other posts in the thread to see all the OTHER names you need to vote for and then visit their lists.

[Christine]

Well I voted and i’m sorry about and I was so mad at myself

[Amber]

You still have time... .

[Christine]

Aww thanks girl and I voted

[Amber]

On my way to check it out.

[Christine]

Alright girl

[Amber]

Still don't see my name listed in your votes.

[Christine]

I’m sorry girl and I put your name on my vote

[Patricia]

Christine, You haven't voted for June selections yet - except for two people.

[Christine]

I did vote but it was on April 13th

[Kirsten]

You have to keep up on this thread or you can get in real trouble.

[Christine]

Oh ok and I don’t want to get in trouble

[Kirsten]

Not with us! With yourself. LOL!! I've had months when I've gotten so far behind. If you only want to do it once, you could wait til the end of the month to count your votes.

[Christine]

Oh no lol and I did my vote already

[Amber]

For the May books, Christine. If you don't keep up you're gonna be in trouble for CATCHING UP.

[Amber]

Don't believe me, look at all the other votes for the June books.

[Amber]

FOR ONLY TWO PEOPLE! That's what I've been trying to tell you! You're supposed to vote for EVERYONE (except yourself, obviously)! That's the major rule!

[Christine]

I’m sorry and I didn’t know that

[Amber]

*sigh* You should have asked someone. That's why I've been waiting since April see my name on your list of votes for the June book.

[Christine]

I’m very sorry

[Amber]

Apology accepted. I'm posting this here so that neither of us clutters up the actual voting thread with chatter about the books.

[Christine]

Alright and i’ll do everything the right way

[Amber]

If you don't run into any problems, like the Joanne Fluke books on your most recent post on the actual voting thread. Sometimes GR does stuff like that. A couple years ago all my URLs for the books in my list sent people to the GR pages for the various Harry Potter books (none of which were actually on my list to begin with), instead of the books that were on my list so I had to delete the list and repost from scratch...at least twice before I got all my links to work properly.

I lost interest in Harry Potter when I was introduced to Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Chicago's only wizard PI.

[Christine]

Oh ok and I did it right

[Amber]

I'll check soon.

[Kirsten]

Don't worry, Christine - you'll get the hang of it.

[Amber]

I think she's getting the hang of it now, Kirsten.

[Kirsten]

Just how many ways do you mis-spell my name, Amber???

[Amber]

As many ways as it's possible when my brain's working faster than my fingers.

[Christine]

I’m glad I’m doing something right lol

[Amber]

:)

[Christine]

Thanks for helping me out

[Ann]

The Retreat is way out in front and a clear winner.
(I might start it this weekend!)

[Christine]

What’s a retreat?

[Ann]

The Retreat is a novel by Mark Edwards. It's way out ahead in the voting for my June Pick It For Me read.

(When it's written in green and has a line under it, as in my previous post, it's a link to a book on Goodreads.)

[Christine]

Oh I thought you told me you went to a retreat lol

[Agnieszka]

I voted for the two I struggled with and also for Sophie's list:

Kirsten: Without Fail - didn't want to create a tie ;-)

Perri: Under a Dark Summer Sky - despite the tie between only two books it was still tough so I went for the book that looks appealing to me

Sophie: Her Final Breath - if you're interested in a buddy read let me know - I want to re-read this book before I'll continue the series :-)

[Sophie]

Hi Agnieszka,

Yes I would be interested in a buddy read but I'm reading a bit of a chunk of a book at the moment (Assassin's Fate by Robin Hobb) so it might take me a couple of weeks to get through it! If you're not in a hurry and don't mind waiting for me then I'm in :)

[Christine]

I wouldn’t like that book

[Kirsten]

I've been reading Fool's Assassin and have decided I just HAVE to go back and start reading this series from the beginning. It is just SO good!

[Christine]

I could never read those Assassin books

[Amber]

I said the same thing about the Harry Dresden novels, Christine and then I read a Dresden Files graphic novel...now I read the novels themselves.

[Christine]

I like to read suspense books and romance books and biography books

[Sophie]

The whole of that collective series is brilliant. One day I will go back and re-read from the very beginning. The ones of Fitz as a child are by far my favourites.

I can understand it (800+ pages is a lot) and it's fine with me since I have several series/books I want to read much more urgently right now (and the reason why I put Tracy Crosswhite on a back burner) but if you let me know when you can start I'll squeeze it inbetween :-)
I think if I start with this series again than I'll re-read book 2 and read the remining books I have by than. So far I got the next three. Every few months the German Amazon shop offers most of this series for 1,49€ (almost a third of the usual price) and so I'm waiting for the next round to get book #6 (and the next in the Mercy Kilpatrick series as well - the one with the beautiful cover :-))
