I loved that book Letters to the Lost. It made me think about our perceptions of people and events and how it depends on other things

Thank you. I also love those authors but I've been afraid to dig into that new JR Ward because this new series has been slow.

It looks like MJ put your picks in the original shelf post, but not in a separate message: MJ's post

Thanks Theo!

@MJ: you have to make separate posts for the person you are picking for.

Kathy: sorry about that and please see MJ’s shelf

Kathy, i thought you read BDB already

Thanks Ezi, I didn't even see MJ's shelf...and I have read Dark Lover...in fact I reread it a couple of months ago...it's OK though...I'm rereading the series this year and have Lover Awakened next on my list so I'll go with that as my bonus! =)

I've finished two of my picks The Bourbon Thief by Tiffany Reisz and The Lucky Ones by Tiffany Reisz , both by an author new to me - Tiffany Reisz. The sex is a bit over the top in the first one, but both are stories very well told.


message 66: by Karen D (new)

Karen D | 111 comments Finished Deadly Decisions (Temperance Brennan, #3) by Kathy Reichs today. It was pretty good, but not my favorite of the series. I enjoyed it a lot until the very end, which felt rushed and a bit cheesy. But it was still good enough to want to continue more of the series!

I loved Dane's Storm by Mia Sheridan ✯✯✯✯½ and Blood Fury (Black Dagger Legacy, #3) by J.R. Ward ✯✯✯ was just okay. BDB has been losing steam for awhile now.
But Mia Sheridan delivered another smashing romance. Thank you for the picks

I didn’t love the Wife Between Us. I also didn’t guess the twist. A lot of people say they figured it out but I didn’t 🤷🏽‍♀️


message 75: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Bea (gekrepten) | 650 comments At the beginning of this month I finished one of my April books.

Alone by Cyn Balog
Late, I know, but I'm glad that I read it! Thank you, Jenn! I still want to read the other 2, I have been so behind on my books this year.
