We all have our pet names for him. My high school band director calls him Lord Cheeto.

[Christine]

That’s a weird name lol

[Amber]

Not when you REALLY think about his skin color, Christine.

[Christine]

Yeah that’s true

[Patricia]

I have read my June winner and have read half of one of my runner ups.

My stack is ready for July. I am having a hard time realizing that we are into summer already. What happen to this year?

Working at a nursery/garden centre I studied with the Royal Horticultural Society and passed my exams 4 years ago but never thought I'd get a job with my local plant nursery only 2 miles away :-)

I have the Assassin's books in my TBR pile, the length as always intimidated me. I need to take a deep breath and dive in"

It's worth it, Pe..."

Thanks Sophie (see my reply to Christine rather than bore everyone posting it more than once) :-)

I didn't know that Melanie... that's pretty cool! I don't even remember learning that when it was required reading in grade 7-ish? I still love The Outsiders."

Thanks Dana

[Mandy]

I still have a tie for June - don't think I will have time to read both but we'll see............

[Christine]

That’s a very cool job Mandy

I have heard that Britain has some beautiful gardens. Sounds llike an interesting job. In fact, this reminded me that my back yard needs some work.

Oh we do but sadly not as many in Wales as say Cornwall or Somerset/Dorset etc..

[Christine]

I’m working this summer at the school to help little kids that are handicapped

[Dana]

I finished my June book, Broken (Will Trent #4)

This was my favorite in the series so far because it was set in Grant County and had little Angie lol! Thanks for the pick :)

[Amber]

I'm already done with my June reads. Makes me hesitant to post anything for July... . Once the threads go up, that is.

[Christine]

I’m going to be done with my books before July

[Amber]

That's why there's another thread each month, Christine. Mine's just a rehash of the previous month's list with the current month's winners removed and new ones off my TBR list replacing them.

[Christine]

Oh ok and thanks for telling me that

[Amber]

You're welcome, Christine. Everyone who participates has his or her own way of posting their list.

[Christine]

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting my books on here

[Melanie]

I’m almost finished “Fractured” .. Will Trent #2. Someone warned me to read another Karin Slaughter series before continuing with Will Trent Series to avoid spoilers. What is the original series please and what is the first book? Thanks in advance.

[Christine]

The book is called Triptych and that’s the first Will Trent book series and your welcome

[Perri]

(whispering) who wants to tell Janet we need July PIFM threads up?

[Christine]

I will

[Dana]

It’s the Grant County series and the first book is Blindsighted, Melanie. Enjoy!

[Melanie]

Thank you PIFM friends for helping me out with my Karin Slaughter question.

[Christine]

Your welcome Melanie

[Perri]

I finished my June pick Under a Dark Summer Sky

Great choice folks!

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

[Amber]

Did the July threads get posted?

[Christine]

Nope

[Vicki Willis]

Would Janet get upset if one of us did it? Do you think?

[Patricia]

Has anyone heard from her? This delay seems odd.

[Perri]

I bet no, maybe relieved?

[Christine]

I hope Janet is ok

Hi guys!

I know it's not obvious but I do check in with the group most days, a couple of times a day. Like now at 2 in the morning!! I get a notification for every thread that has new comments!! I do get busy at times and did have in my head that I needed to post the July threads so here they are!

The July threads are now up for your listings. Happy reading and perusing! :0))

[Dana]

Thanks Janet!!

[Patricia]

Thank you, Janet...

[Perri]

Thanks Janet!

[Christine]

Thanks Janet

[Janet , Moderator]

No worries, guys! 😊

[Patricia]

I just finished one of my runner ups. Burning Bright by Nicholas Petrie. I loved it. A good thriller that features a veteran with PTSD. There is some interesting hi tech in the book that is discussed further in the author's comments.

[Christine]

I wouldn’t like that book

[Vicki Willis]

I just started my June read White Lies and it is a hot mess as of the first chapter. Love it!

[Christine]

I never read that book

[Mandy]

I am just about to start my June book!! Just a little behind lol

Hope you are all well and I hope to be back with a new list soon :-)

[Amber]

The point of this exercise, Christine, is to broaden your reading horizons.

[Christine]

Thanks for telling me that Amber

[Amber]

You're welcome.

[Christine]

I hope my Christmas books get voted

[Kirsten]

Feliz Navidad!
