Thank you! That push is much needed, I've been meaning to get to that forever. :D

Hey Reed,
You have to post a shelf. Then when I post pairs, someone will pick 2 books from the shelf that you posted on this thread.
If you need help, please PM and we can discuss more.
Thanks

Anyone missing a pick?

I finished my first pick . It was a cute cozy mystery. I'll continue on with the series.

Hi Chelle, I finished two out of three picks from you
was so good! It was unexpected and a surprise for me. I enjoyed it a lot and cant believe that I let it sit in my bookshelf for so long. Thanks for picking this for me.

On the other hand, wasn't as good as the first book in the series. I was a bit disappointed. Still thinking about whether I should continue to the last book in the series.

Ezi suggested I add this here in case anyone is interested in turning their book picks into buddy reads: Buddy Read Discussion Thread if you're looking for a buddy to join you & Buddy Read Sign Ups if you have a partner you want to read with. :)

I finished the last of my picks today, and they were all good reads.

-- an interesting twist on the
"prison escape" motif. 4 stars.
Good series start.
If you're in the mood for good old good-guy-bad-guy-game-of-cat-and-mouse fiction, John Rain is always a winner.

Thank you, Denise!

Review - Damn Chess, You're a real hot mess. I shouldn't like the MC, but honestly I do. Weird huh? Chess is what is called a Churchwitch. She works for the church on cases where she has to investigate reported hauntings to see if they are valid or the person is faking it. She's good at her job despite her personal life being a total shit show. She's addicted to drugs, involved with some people that she shouldn't be, and can't seem to decide on her lovelife. Both men that she is attracted to are on opposite side (like a gang). Lex, she mostly has sex with and Terrible she's in love with and someone she has yet to have sex with. Terrible is a good guy, but when I envision him, I see Andrew Dice Clay. I don't want to see Andrew Dice Clay, but his description fits. If anyone can tell me who they envision this would help me...please...lol

Chess really screws up in this book, even though she solved one of the mysteries her personal life lies in ruins and on a cliff hanger. I have to take a small break before heading into the 3rd book. One can only take so much heartache before it gets to them.
