HeatherMarie, I've read two of the books you picked for me - Heart of the Dragon (tbr) and Radiance (new).
Thank you so much for the picks - I loved both if them!
And thank you for introducing me to Grace Draven's works, I'm looking forward to more of her stories.
As for the rest of the books you picked - I will definitely read them all, just not sure when.

Thanks again! :)

I finished two more of your picks, and liked them both!

I wasn't expecting to enjoy Cora Seton's book so much, but I really did and have already read more of hers. And I plan on reading more of the Animal Magnetism series too.

Here are my picks for you this month:.."

Hey Romanticbookworm!
I just finished my first pick and I gave it 5 stars! It was a beautiful story, even though some parts where quite hard to read since this is partially a story about abuse.
I'm gonna start the second pick right away! :)

I have finished Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side
When I first started reading this I thought not another cliche YA vampire book (which a few years ago I would have loved) but from the middle onward I really started to enjoy it. The characters development was interesting to follow. A solid 3 stars.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Glad you liked it Rebecca. Yeah, I was impressed that it wasn't a cliché YA vampire book. I really need to read the sequel some time.

Thank you for the recommendation Sonja, one of them am already read and love ,I added the rest to my TBR.

finished these picks.
1. I have enjoyed every single word in this book, Entertaining, fast and funny read!!
2. It was a very good read, So So So So Romantic that I loved every part of it.
3. This was, one of the worst books I have ever read. It was not only boring, but the characters, the plot, everything is cliche and awful.
4. So different than I thought it would be it's so easy to get into I was hooked from the first page.
5. This is the most amazing book I've ever read, I enjoyed it even that i read it as an e-book on my tab, I prefer paper books.

Hey Romanticbookworm,
I finished my second pick and I really enjoyed it! I rated it 4 stars!! Let's see how it goes with the 3rd pick!

[Michaele]

Soe Wai Yan-

Hey I finished two more. I read a few years ago, before I was on goodreads so I hadn't rated it, but it was fun to re-visit it, I think I'll reread the rest of the series again too.

And I finished , it was very funny, I plan on reading the next in the series, hopefully it's as funny.

Thanks for all the great picks!

WOW, you're on FIRE! I kind of really want to read that one too, but am like #30 on hold for it at the library so it'll be a while!

I'm also really happy to hear you enjoyed !! Totally not what you expected, right? The next book, was also good, though Firelight was still better. Honestly though, all of her books I've read so far have been really good. Not sure if you're into the rock fiction genre that seems to be big, but if you're even remotely interested, definitely try her VIP series, starting with !!! I devoured that one in one sitting!
Happy reading!

[Leigh]

Michaele,

I just finished and enjoyed it. I look forward to the rest of the series.

[Romanticbookworm]

Glad you enjoyed them Chiara. I fancy reading the Kendall Ryan book myself.

Elke - haven't got to my picks yet but will try and get to them soon.

So glad you liked it. I thought it was funny, too. And you have several other REALLY good ones that you've picked to read this month! I hope you can get them all done!

[Nancy H]

Hi Sarah,
I have finished two books from your pick list and LOVED both of them! All I Ever Wanted and The Crossing Places They were truly good reads!

I have four more started but don't know if I will get any of them finished by month's end! Yes, I am one of those people who read multiple books at once - lol!

Thanks for such a good list! I will definitely be reading most of these even I don't get them all done within the month.

I have just finished Witchling 3 sisters a witch, a warecat and vampire with faye, kitsune and a host of other magical creatures in the mix. This sounded great Unfortunately I think it lacked substance and the ending had no resolution, I know it's part of a series but that's no excuse. 3 stars may be to many.

Yeah, if you notice in my rec for this from your TBR, I said I loved the "idea of....". I read the first 3 before giving up on the series. But many times I've seen people love books I thought were just ok or meh. Sorry it didn't work for you.

[LaurLa]

Not the best month for me - I managed to finish 2 picks. Thanks, Kathy D, for the picks!

I finished a couple more. I loved !! I think this was my favorite this month and I've already read the next two in the series. Great pick!

I have started , but I don't think I'll finish today- hopefully soon though.

I didn't get to , I actually read it a few years ago before I was on Goodreads, but want to re-read it. Instead I finished the series with and loved it too!

I didn't make it through the list, but I planning on reading more.

Hey Rebecca! Thanks again for the great picks! I ended up reading 5 of them...would have read more but I just ran out of month (I finished the last one at about 5 minutes to midnight on the 30th)!
