Aiswrya | 2053 comments Hi Laura, I read Now You See Me by Lynn Van Dorn , Satan Claus Is Coming to Town by Catherine Lievens (Really enjoyed this one! Who knew Satan could be so funny :-P)

I really wanted to read An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson and The Greatest Lover in All England by Christina Dodd this month but I've been on hold for them forever! I also want to read a few others from your picks, just waiting to wrap up my team challenges so I don't have to think about how my books fit the tasks LOL. Thanks again!

Gabriella | 203 comments Hey, Tonya!
This was one of months I read the most, so I got pretty much halfway through your list.

I got two I didn't finish because I didn't like the characters very much:
Anyone But Ivy Pocket (dnf)
Rebel of the Sands (dnf)

And other five I enjoyed and read it all:
How to Steal a Dragon's Sword - July 9, ★★★
Blood Magick - July 20, ★★
The Book with No Pictures - July 10, ★★★
Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer - July 19, ★★★
A Christmas Carol - July 10, ★★★

Thanks for the great picks! I liked going through them very much.

MKat I'm really glad you enjoyed the ones you read! 😊


Jamie - The Bookish Attitude (thebookishattitude) | 80 comments Aminko Again thankyou for the picks this month,
I managed five picks this month, For the most part I enjoyed them all.

Manik by Amo Jones was by far my favourite.
Most Irresistible Guy by Lauren Blakely
Unforgettable by Sosie Frost this ones wasn't the best written but I loved the concept.
Perilous Love by Amo Jones
Reasonable Doubt: Volume 1 by Whitney G. I actually finished this trilogy.

Long Game by Teagan Kade was one I had previously read but for some reason it was still on my tbr shelf and I didn't even know hahhaa,

With Surrender by Amy Daws, I didn't realise it was the fourth book in the series so I went back and read Challenge the first book in the Harris Brother series instead.

Sonja - I read a BUNCH this past month but only got into 2 of the picks. I listed to Where the Crawdads Sing and I'm currently finishing reading The Unhonemooners. Being in the middle of a separate reading challenge has changed my reading plans lately. Thank you for great picks though and I'll be getting to the rest of your picks soon!
