Sorry y'all! I saw that I missed the deadline and cut my losses... I'll catch back up for September! I'll be done with a difficult reading challenge at that point too.

Thanks for being willing to work me in!

Just finished Omega's Secret Crush and really enjoyed it, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me! I'm sure I'll read more before the month is over but so far off to a great start! Thanks again Carina. ;)

Hi Laura!

I read from your list for me. Thanks for the push to get it off my tbr- it had been on there for 8 years!! I really liked it! Thanks again for the great pick. I will try and get to another one this month if I can :)

[Sonja]

I read two books
The Simple Life Aug 5 ★★★★ Funny contemporary romance.
When You Give a Duke a Diamond Aug 4 ★★★ Hmmm...I didn't like either MC. It was hard to like this book.

Thanks again for the picks

Hi HeatherMarie! I read What Ales the Earl, The Kiss of Deception and Breaking News - loved breaking news! Xander and Sean are so cute together! Eagerly waiting for Book 3 :)

Thanks for the picks! I am hoping to read Alpha Unit One, New York before the end of the month. I'll come back and let you know if I do :)

Hi Mary-Megan! Thank you for all the wonderful picks! I have read 7 of my picks in August, but I don't think I will get to more this month. I need to make more of a dent in my M&G picks - way behind there!

Alpha Night by Nalini Singh 8.10.2020 - Love this series!
The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis 8.13.2020 - Such a fun, sweet story!
Of Blood and Bone by Nora Roberts 8.16.2020 - Loving this trilogy - can't wait to finish!
IRL: In Real Life by Lucy Lennox and Molly Maddox 8.17.2020 - Sweet and fun!
Texas Glory by Lorraine Heath 8.19.2020 - Totally lived up to my memories, I still loved this!
Only a Millionaire by J.S. Scott 8.20.2020 - Simple, but good!
Siren in Waiting by Sophie Oak 8.24.2020 - Steamy good times!

Thanks again - it was a good month for me! 😊

7 books is awesome! I'm generally lucky to get one pick done. I'm really glad you had a good month.

[Nayara]

Aiswyra,

This month I read Once Burned (DNF and I give up of this author), All Things Burn, Guarding Temptation and The Emperor's Edge.

As for the new books you recommended I only managed Inside Affair on KU and although I HATE cliffhangers it was fun (but I loved the second book soooo much more). I can't wait for the final part on September.

Thank you so much for the picks!

[Aiswrya]

You’re welcome :) sorry you didn’t like once burned. This series is a spin off and isn’t as good as the original one. I can’t remember it’s name but I think it’s called the night huntress series.

[HeatherMarie]

Hey LaurLa
Thanks for the picks. Was able to read and . Really enjoyed them all Thanks

Yeah, I tried reading Night Huntress too and couldn't finish. A lot of people love and recommend the series but I think this author it's just not for me

[Nancy H]

Hi Becca da,
I just finished The Simple Life and I LOVED it! It made me laugh out loud, it was so good.

Thank you for the good recs. I will get more of them read but just not by month's end!

Oo yay! I'm glad to hear it :)

Hi Kathy D!
Unfortunately, I did not have any time to read any NEW books that you recommended to me, but I did read and I really enjoyed it, but it was quite sad at the end. I cried A LOT.
I rated it 5 stars, I think this book deserved it :)

[Gabriella]

Hey, Elena!

I thought I wouldn't complete this challenge this time, but I managed to finish A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms today, so :) I really liked it as I was missing the ASOIAF series, and I hope to read some of your recommendations in the upcoming months.

[Mary-Megan]

I was able to get two of your picks done this month - Bad Bachelor and The Day of the Duchess. I enjoyed them both, so thanks for the picks.

Hey Kindra! Been a busy first week of September - eek! Hope you're doing well!
I managed 3.5 books this month. My motivation just died there towards the end and I really have struggled to find reading time since remote learning started up for my kids! Its just chaotic!
Anyway, I got to read the following:
