Thanks Leslie - finished Slick - 4* for me
I just finished
and it was fantastic! I cracked up!! This is not to say that it wasn't a great love story with a lot of depth and "hotness"! It was just what the doctor ordered after reading so many serious and angsty books this year.

. It was a 4 star read for me. Could have easily been a 5 star if it had a bit more show than tell, but the story itself was simply amazing!Thank you for my pick, Elabelle...and thank you for distracting me with eleventy other BR's this month and keeping me from knocking this one out sooner. I'd BR with you anytime, girlfriend!!!

I’m so behind this month on my PFM. I usually have it hammered out within the first week. Where did June go?!

I know!! Buy that just means I’m having a harder time fitting it all in😂. Why aren’t you doing some of those BR’s with us? Your reading range would fit right in. Oh I forgot. You’ve probably already read everything. 😁

You know I'm lurking. If I see you all BR'ing something I haven't read yet, I'm hopping in!!

Will do!!
Thanks Jean for picking The Opportunist! I'm having great fun with it...I've inhaled book 1&2! I'm going to start book 3 as soon as I can get rid of my company 😂
Mod
Thankyou T. I finally finished “what the wind knows” thoroughly enjoyed it. But I’ve been so time poor. Took me ages to read.4 stars great choice. 😊
Grey wrote: "and I'm waiting with bated breath to see Judy lose her mind over The Thief!!❤️"😂😂😂 I sure did Grey! Sorry just saw your post...I can't believe I hadn't read it before now! After I finished, I realized that there was hardly any sex happening on page...maybe 2 times in 3 books? And there were a couple of fade to black scenes, which I hate, but with this story I didn't miss it 😉

! Whoa! That was intense! Four stars and now I’ve added The Brother and The Girl to my list! Thanks, Grey!
I finally just started my PFM for this month.....it's been a crazy June....and went really fast!!!

I'm finally starting my PFM book. It'll be a race to get it read before Monday, but I'll give it my best shot. Regardless, I'll still be in for next month. 😊 Hopefully I have something to report by Sunday/Monday.

I'm glad I'm not alone, Ladies. June was crazyville around here and a whirlwind trip to Colorado last week put a halt to my reading time.

Renee, I took advantage of the Audible Escape free month, because my PFM was one that was offered in the program. Having been an Audible member before, I wasn't aware that I could do the free month. Thanks for bringing their new prices to KU users to my attention. A free month is even better. 😁
*hangs head in shame* I'm starting my PFM today...
I still have yet to start it. I've been on an academy PNR kick, though it seems to be finally dying down.

You're welcome! I've had it one month and I'm already on my fourth audio book. Got to listen the The Kiss Quotient, which I really enjoyed, and now I'm on The Bride Test.

Yay Renee! I'm so glad you liked it too! The Bride Test is a little different but I loved it just as much!
I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING MY PFM - -
SOOOO FRIGGING GOOD!! I SHOULD NOT HAVE WAITED SO LONG!!
Oh, is today July 1st......whoops....
Finished Love Unrehearsed and it was ok 3 stars, I remember loving book 1 so I think it's just a matter of timing...
Ela wrote: "Finished Love Unrehearsed and it was ok 3 stars, I remember loving book 1 so I think it's just a matter of timing..."well, I'm glad you finished it...I loved it, but like you said, it could be just timing...if I read it now, would I still give it 5*?
Also, did you watch the game Ela? it was a good one! The US played great...

Get yourself a bottle of wine and a box of tissues before you start 😁 Hope you love it 😉"I finished The Last Letter this morning and yes, UGLY CRY!! 4.5 Stars!

Ela--I don't remember loving the 2nd book as much, but I still loved it. Doubt I would now since I've turned into a crotchety old reader who finds fault in most everything I read.
Too bad she never wrote book 3. I fear that if she wrote it now, it wouldn't do nearly as well.

I think you're right! And it's been way too long...I remember really wanting Mike and Marie's story 😁
I know it’s July, but I started my June PFM in June so it still counts! 😜 The Sea of Tranquillity was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Solid 5 ⭐️ Thanks for the great pick, Paula!
Glad you liked it Layne - I loved it too when I read it
5 Stars for my pick!! Thank you Renee!!! Moving on to book 2! Here's my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Leslie--you've been getting some pretty good reads lately, haven't you? It seems like I remember you enjoying a few books??
I think you'd like The Unhoneymooners. I didn't think I'd like it, but I really did. Those two are really good writers. I wouldn't pay $9 for it, but it was a great library read.
