August 2020 ~ Pick-for-Me Challenge

[Lisa]

Oh my goodness, Marissa. I am struggling between four different picks for you. I am going to settle on . If you're not feeling that one, let me know and I have a backup (or three) for you.

I finished my PFM:
4.25 Stars!
I'm not sure that I'm committed to that rating yet. It could go up at little.

Is it good?I'm soo reluctant to read it because i think is quite dramatic and there is cheating...

[Jean]

Okay Robin, I'm jumping in and starting my pick:


Not my usual genre...so I have some trepidation. But I trust you and LOVE Emma Scott so figure I can't go wrong, right??

You got this! And if it's not for you, I won't judge! But it might make you a convert!

Do you need visuals because Silas is 😍😍😍

[Jean]

ROBIN!!! You were so right -- I think I've been converted! SERIOUSLY LOVING THIS BOOK (and I'm not even to 20% yet). I was even getting filled up at the 11-12% mark when they had just truly met and were in Silas' truck! Ugh, the writing, the feelings!!

I'm dying to get back to it and already have the feeling that I don't want it to ever end!!!!! Thank you!😘

P.S. Do you have visuals for Silas because that can't hurt! LOL!

[Lisa]

Just finished and 4 star loved it! Thank you so very much for my pick. After two angsty reads back to back, I think I need something light or funny or maybe spooky...or maybe I ought to knock off some on my netgalley list!!

This one was so very cleverly written and the characters were easy to love!

finished my pick this morning...I absolutely adore this series...this one was fantastic! 5* thanks for the pick Nay! I don't know why I hadn't read it before now, lol

[Jean]

Robin, those visuals definitely helped with Someday Someday! I just finished last night and it's a definite 5 star read! Thank you for that pick! I loved it! So perfectly written and definitely got me out of "my box"! LOL! I loved Max and Silas, and had a soft spot for Eddie!

Marta thanks so much for choosing this book , gave it 5 stars and until now is really the best book i´ve read this year! It was soooo good!!! I don´t have words. So emotional. If any of you haven´t read it I realy reccomend it.

[Melinda]

Marta thanks so much for choosing this book A Love Letter to Whiskey by Kandi Steiner , gave it 5 stars and until now is really the best book i´ve read this year! It was soooo good!!! I don´t have words. So emotional. If any of you haven´t read it I realy reccomend it.

This is one of my all time favorites!! So happy you loved it too!

So sorry Catia, I must have missed your message. 🥴🥰

[Robin]

I finished Flock last week and gave it 5 stars! Thanks for the pick Layne!

I started this and so far it’s interesting but I’m not sure I will get it finished by 8/31

Yay! Robin! That makes me so happy! That duet is incredible.

And Grey, I finished Beyond the Sea & I loved it so much. I’ve never read modern gothic and now I feel like I need to read more of it. Thanks for the amazing pick!

I finished Daisy Jones and the Six. It wasn’t my favorite but I see now why the Audible would’ve been better than reading it. Reading an interview isn’t much fun

[Marta]

Nicole wrote: "Marta wrote: "Me, my list https://www.goodreads.com/review/list..."

Marta, I haven't read anything from your shelf, yet. I love Penelope War..."

Nicole thank you for your pick. I liked it, loved the road trip theme but the second part got a bit on my nerves, but the hero really is a kind of hero that I love.

[Nay]

I just barely finished in time.
by Darynda Jones was 3 stars for me.

I'll spare y'all my crabby review, but I will say that Levi saved it for me and the author's Charley Davidson series is one of my favorites of ever.

ETA: As always, Lorelei King's narration was phenomenal.

[JudyCa]

Did I miss the sign up for Sept?

Grey hasn't been online lately. A couple of us messaged her and I'm sure she'll pop up as soon as she realizes it's September. If we don't hear from her soon, maybe someone else can fill in for the month.

I'm sorry Renee that you didn't enjoy it. 😞 I think that some Charley Davidson devotees might have a hard time moving on from that series. I freakin' loved it and unfortunately, I will NEVER read the CD series so if I want to enjoy Darynda, I'm comitted to Sunshine Vicram. And I'm not complaining. 😍😂

[Marissa]

I finished...late but I’m done! I’m giving Forever, Interrupted 3 stars. I’m apparently working my way backwards through Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books. I’m glad this wasn’t my first by her because I’m not sure I would’ve been all that excited to read more after this one. What a loss that would’ve been! She’s an excellent writer and you can so clearly see her growth from this book to her latest. This one just lacked oomph! Thank you for the pick and I’m happy to cross it off my list!

[diann bryan]

I listen to that one on Chirp Marissa and enjoyed the audiobook of it
