Wow Elke, you are breezing through your picks! So glad you are enjoying them!
Hi LaurLa, I have finished my first book and it is one in the series that your pick Title Wave is in. I wasn't quite up to that one in the series, so as this challenge allows us to read the one we are at in the series, that is what I did. It was a good read but I am hoping the main character's romance with the police chief picks up a bit in the next ones since she was a bit wishy-washy about him in this one - lol! Maybe there will be a new love interest appear! The one I read was Sentenced to Death.
KathyD,I have finished another two of my picks The Shadows and Crash & Burn. Well, to be totally honest I haven't finished The Shadows but I have already struggle with the previous book in this series and I have finally decided to give it a rest for good. But I really liked Crash & Burn.
MountainKat thanks for my picks. Not sure if I said that since RL is been a bit crazy but my picks are awesome and already downloaded so I can relax and read during my cruise starting Friday. Yay! ;)
Sounds perfect Carmen! This week was crazy here too, so I know where you are coming from. Have a great cruise!
Hi KarenH,I finished my first pick:
You also picked it for me in the M&G challenge, so I thought it would be perfect to start with this one :) I really enjoyed it (4 stars), thanks for the push to continue with the series!
Hello Carmen I have finished 3 of my picks so far and enjoyed all of them! The first two were continuing series that I already love. The third was pretty far out of my comfort zone. Even though I found it a little over the top dramatic at times, it was still a very enjoyable read. Hopefully, I will get to more throughout the month.
ChiaraI finished my first pick and enjoyed it. Thanks for the rec.

Hi Diane from your recommendations I chose to read Kindling the Moon it was a 3.5 star read for me, the ending was fantastic so I will read further on in series at some point thanks for rec!
From my pics you chose for me I read Charmed & Witchy: Demon Isle Witches: A Legacy of Magic again the ending grabbed me so may give book 2 a whirl 3 star read
and finally I read Batter Up also a 3 star read but a nice easy bit of fluff too thanks xxxxx

Glad you liked them Laura. The nice thing about Kindling the Moon series is it is complete at 4 books.
Hazel wrote: "Nancy H loved my first pick! Great start to this months reading."Glad you liked it. I've been enjoying my picks this month, also.
Happy reading!
Hi LaurLa, I finished two more books from my pick list and they were both good. The 'Seven Steps' one was REALLY good, and I am going to look for more by that author. The 'Scenic Route' one was quite different than I thought it would be, but was good and I enjoyed it.
Thanks again for great picks!
Hazel wrote: "Hi Sonja...I'm doing a terrible job on your recommentations this month, Hazel! Nothing against your awesome reqs, I'm just having trouble acquiring them! Been on hold for Can't Stand the Heat and Outlander all month. Technically I started Outlander a while back, but had to go back on hold for it. And now that I've seen the TV series, it's hard to go back and read it! LOL
I've read 1.... yes... 1!
Following my current read will be

,
and
. Probably in that order and obviously some of these will get bumped to August! I swear I'm trying!

MountainKat I finished
and gave it 3 stars. I'm going to work on 3 others but sleep is currently calling me 😉
Hi Karen,I finished my third pick:
Everybody seems to love this one, I sadly have to admit that I didn't love it. I enjoyed parts of it but other parts not so much. But still, it was a good read. Thanks for the pick :)
Courtney wrote: "HeatherMarie, Sorry for the delay. I guess I had a little bit too much fun rumaging through your books. Hopefully at least a couple of these books catch your eye. Happy reading! "Hey Courtney!
I read Royal Wedding this month- had NO idea it was such a big series- book 11! Wow! I liked the author's voice & will try to read some more of her back catalog in future. The The Accidental Empress & Nefertiti I wanted to get to finish reading but jeez this month has really flown by! I listened to a podcast (stuff you missed in history class?) about Empress Sisi-she sounded like an intriguing character so I'll try to finish those two books by next month. Thanks for the great picks!!
P.s. Bless you, Houston weather is not for wimps- you're one tough lady❤️! Stay cool!
KathyDI have finished two more of my picks: Sin Undone and Shadow of Night.
This wasn't a good month for me, I haven't read all the books I planned :(

Hi Sonja! Finally getting an update for you - I'm so bad about that. I I guess I just get busy with life and trying to read and forget until the month ends.

Claimed in Shadows by Lara Adrian 7.5.18 - Another good one in the series!
Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean 7.14.18 - Great beginning to this new series!

The Curse of Tenth Grave by Darynda Jones 7.17.18 - Loving this series!
Getting Schooled by Emma Chase 7.18.18 - I really liked this one - worked on every level for me!
Gentleman Nine by Penelope Ward 7.20.18 - I liked this one a lot!
Come As You Are by Lauren Blakely 7.22.18 - Loved the characters and how their relationship developed!
Hitched: Volume One by Kendall Ryan 7.31.18 - Definitely need to read all three to get the story, so far I've read two and am wondering how it all works out!
Thank for the great picks!!
