May 2019 ~ Pick-for-Me Challenge

[Teri]

I finally finished last night and I gotta say that the ending really did shock the sh!t out of me. I didn't see it coming. The beginning and end very dramatic and the middle was just good reading in general.

Thanks for the pick, KIM! This really is a good book!

The audio WAS amazing. The only thing I didn't like about the audio was not getting to highlight so many great passages. That's why I spent time just reading it, too. Such a great story. All this talking about it makes me miss it. Lol.

[Donna]

Glad you enjoyed it Tessa! I’ve added it to my list. I’ll read them when book 3 comes out.

[Donna]

Starting my pick from Layne tonight . Be The Girl 😁

[Donna]

Just finished Be the Girl. 4 stars! Well written with a great message. I’ll never forget this one. Thanks for the pick, Layne!

[Lynette]

I give “Full Tilt” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This broke my heart but also shows you never give up on love no matter what! Now listening to All In!

[Layne]

Yay! I’m so glad you liked it! It’s a book that I will definitely have my daughter read in a couple of years.

Paula, I just started Jezebel last night. I’m already intrigued!

[Grey]

I know wrong place...but I'm asking here anyway. Does anyone have The Wicked King by Holly Black that is lendable? I am almost finished with The Cruel Prince... And I needs it 🙏

[Jean]

Sorry Grey, I don't have that one.....

BUT.....I wanted to tell you I finally jumped into Balance and OMG!! I AM FRIGGING LOVING IT......I'M ONLY AT 25% OR SO, BUT YEAH, WISH WORK WASN'T GETTING IN THE WAY TODAY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS LONG, IT GOES FAST AND I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!!

So many caps, Jean!!! This is how I used to feel about the length of Kristen Ashley books. 600 pages that only felt like 300. This book has been on my radar forever, but it wasn't until everyone here started reading it that I realized it was a book 1 in a series.

Thanks Lynette! 4* read for me. I can see it wouldn't be everyones cup of tea and some of the low reviews are quite scathing but I enjoyed it

[Layne]

I finished Jezebel & wow, that was a crazy ride! It was a little slow going for the first 35% or so, but once it picked up, I couldn’t put it down. I give it 5 ⭐️Thanks for the great recommendation, Paula!

[Grey]

Starting the threads for June...holy cow, where did May go?

OMG, you have to finish!!! It's book 3 that is FAN-freaking-tastic! omg, Kim... you must, you simply must!!

I think my rating got lost in the pages before. I read and rated Not So Nice Guy 4 stars. It was a fun page turner!

[Nay]

I'm reading Muscle Memory right now.

[Grey]

WTH...I tried using cute little stars and they all disappeared on me. ho-hum! lol

[Jean]

4 Stars for Balance - - - I struggled with my rating. The only reason for 4 stars was the age factor, but I did really love the book. Maybe after book 2, I will change the rating.

Here's my review..."

I get it, girl...I friggin' loved Execution. Be prepared! I couldn't put it down!

[Jean]

I was hesitant to start Execution.....but I did and you're right, I can't put it down!!!! You know me so well!

[Michele]

I gave Balance 4 stars and Execution 5 stars! I agree with Grey that I couldn’t put it down. I was obsessed!

[Nay]

Execution was my fave of the 3 so far!

Yay! I finished my book before the end of the month!!

I give by Stylo Fantome 3-1/2 stars. It would have been 4-1/2 if not for (view spoiler)[the "door jam", rib "cafe" (as in, "I broke a bone in my rib cafe"), "vice" for "vise", and the list goes on... And the unrealistically easy recovery from a 16-day coma with a broken arm. (hide spoiler)]
