I voted for everyone, but I am not putting up a book list this month. I still have not been able to get back to reading, but maybe next month. I do still like to see what everyone is reading. :)
I finished The Haunting of Hill House and have to say was disappointed by it. I’d really enjoyed We All Live in The Castle so thought would be good, and the first half was, but on the whole it just didn’t work for me. Also just finished Come A Little Closer by Rachel Abbott which was probably her best yet, very good.

I finished 1 book in June and it was called Ghost: The True Story of One Man's Descent into Madness and Murder by Glenn Puit

Read "Memorial Drive," by the poet Natasha Trethaway. Searing memoir, beautifully written, about her mother's tragic death at the hands of her ex-husband. One of those tragic stories about abusive men killing women who reject them on the sick premise of "if I can't have her, nobody can."
Hey ladies..I just voted and put up my list for July. Would you please vote.
Sue would you go vote on my list please. I think you may have over looked my name.TIA

Janet said that Goodreads would not let her post additional threads which explains why we can't chat in July. Let's hope they will allow the rest of the August threads to be posted. This is one of my favorites.
Me too! I've definitely been able to get back to reading more. This is a great group.
Mod
Enjoy your July reads and your August selections.
I finally finished my June read -
- #6 in the Kim Stone series. The premise was a little messed up.I am not sure I really enjoy these books that much, but feel pressured to keep continuing. I think I just love series..
Has anyone else read the series?

Although I've read many of her books, I watch Rissoli & Iles on Lifetime in the evening.

There are even longer ones. The In Death series is past 50 but while there are entries in the series with weak plots, I never get tired of just getting to spend time with those characters.

Yes I know you love those books Kirsten! I keep meaning to try them. That is so many books, I also want to continue with the Temperance Brennan series.
Patricia - the books are really good. I also love the TV show, a little different than the books but equally good. and funny!

You're probably smarter than me and probably finish series before you start new ones. I don't even want to know how many I've started but not finished!

I know I remember when you were trying to get through them all! I try, but there are just so many books to read it is hard to keep on one series :)
I like when I am caught up on a series and the author writes one book per year and I just look forward to it!I am still working on the Grant County series, well technically I am now into the Will Trent part of it, but still pretty far behind.
Ooh I finished those last year! I didn't like the Will Trent as much but then it got better for certain reasons (don't want to spoil it). I love when her new ones come out. I am currently reading her new standalone. I am starting to think she may be a bit too graphic for me now
Mod
I'm reading it right now too! So good so far. Specifically "Pretty Girls" was badI think I've just gotten softer since having a daughter...
Mod
Her writing is so good, it will keep me around haha. That is impressive, I currently can't imagine more than 1!
