Hi Chelle,

I picked A Dark and Stormy Murder (A Writer's Apprentice Mystery, #1) by Julia Buckley and Yesternight by Cat Winters. They both sound really interesting, so I completely understand why you want to read them. Based on your bookshelf choices, it seems like you enjoy reading mystery books. I really liked this mystery book, so if you would like a bonus read, I'd suggest you try Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart.

Oldest: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon because I thought it was surprisingly good.

Newest: Below Deck by Tara Sivec because it looks like a fun (almost) summer read

And Silence Fallen (Mercy Thompson, #10) by Patricia Briggs because I love this series.

Thank you. I've been craving Epic-type books and now I have a reason to read some!


LittleRedRidingHood | 315 comments Hey, LaurLa this is what I picked for you:

From the old pile Needing Nita (Serve and Protect, #3.5) by Norah Wilson , from the new Royally Yours (Royally, #4) by Emma Chase . For bonus book I just picked another one from your post Nauti Angel (Nauti, #9; Nauti Girls, #5) by Lora Leigh , because I don't know what you have at hand.

Happy reading.

Lexi | 351 comments I got the two mind the bonus done this month and the best I can say is that God's War(3 stars) had really good world building with a lack of characters or motivation and The Devourers (2 stars) was pretty awful, problematic dealing with rape, unnecessarily graphic and an obsession with piss (don't ask).
