Renee, you must read Bryn Greenwood's books. Holy cow! is she a good writer. I bet the audio for Ugly and Wonderful is good. I listened to the audio of her newest (Reckless Oath) and it was fantastic. They used multiple narrators.

T--I checked last night and my library doesn't have All the Ugly and Wonderful Things in audio, but I have audible credits! They do have The Reckless Oath We Made. I've moved them up on my list.

Jean, my re-pick for you is The Girl He Used to Know
This made me cry but I think you will like it.
I have finished my pick 4 me early this time affairytale. 3.5 ⭐️.
It was good but lacking, the writing was good, but it was repetitive. And the protagonist was really annoying.
It is a true story. There’s a second book. But the first was enough for me.

Yes yes, let’s do it.

Jean wrote: "Starting my pick now!"Super anxious to see what you think.
LESLIE!!!!! I just finished The Girl He Used to Know! I'm a sobbing idiot right now and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!!!!! Thank you so much for this pick!! 5++++++ Stars!!!!!
I'm giving 3 stars to Where the Blame Lies. I loved the dark story and the thriller aspects of it, but I felt like the rest of it was phoned in for an author who's been at this for the amount of time she has with such wonderful books. Clearly, I'm in the minority and getting more picky in my old age, so don't let me stop anyone from reading it. And I'm still looking forward to reading the next one!

Marta wrote: "Renee i am please about you pick ;)For you Marissa i pick
I love this author but never read this one so i'm curious about what you will think about it."
Marta, thank you for The Darkest Sunrise by Aly Martinez, I really enjoyed it. And that ending...Whoa! 4.5 stars! I’m starting The Brightest Sunset now.
I finished! Thicker Than Water
It started out great but then by like 40% it started to drag for me. 3***
P.S. Although I am a notoriously picky reader, I am not fussy about narrators...the narration bothered me. I'd rec reading over listening for this one.

Oh so great that you loved it!Now I am curious about it ;)
Renee I am still reading the book, a bit scared with what is about to happen but enjoying it :S lol

right now...Also...putting up the links for the new challenge threads :D
My PFM won’t be finished until May...
I finished mine this morning and haven't rated it officially, but I'm leaning towards 3 stars. Which I'm bummed about, since I absolutely loved the previous books in the series. I didn't hate it, but I had some issues.
3 Stars

Oh wow, this one was on my list for so long & I never even knew what it was about. It was on there solely because Leylah has never steered me wrong. Once again I am just in awe of her. She’s a master at weaving such epic stories. It’s truly incredible. I’m giving it 5 stars, but really it deserves way more. Thanks for the fantastic pick, Judy!

Catia, I finishe American Queen on Monday. It was a 5-star read for me. WOW!! it was both and education and an entertaining read. I will be finish ing Trilogy.
Renee, I finally finished the book but I don't even know what to think about it!I don't know of I liked it or not :SIt was a entertaining read but the part with the twist (80%) and the last twist were really weird, strange and boring...
Rating: probably 3*
