I loved going through our shelves and trying to figure out what to pick within the rules: you are indeed a voracious reader!
Thanks for letting me peek and for setting up a wide pick-it..."

Howdy Se!

I read . I've been wanting to read this one for a while so thank you for this pick. It was a cute read. I didn't love it as much as I thought that I would but I still enjoyed it. Thanks, again! =D

Hi Vanessa,
thank you for giving it a try and reporting back here.
Considering the genres you have been reading recently, it was a long shot: I am glad you enjoyed it. :)

This is my first time doing a challenge and really hope you enjoy some of these picks!"

Hi Priyanka!
thanks again for your picks. I have added your new suggestions to my TBR list and I will try to read them all after the September challenge: they really intrigued.

I read
I wanted a fun romcom to give me the emotional energy to tackle the Nicholas Sparks's book you loved. I really enjoyed it, I started laughing out loud on page one, which happens so rarely!

And I am now reading
I won't finish it before the challenge is over, but it's off to a great start. I am on page 47 and wondering where this is heading. I already have my theories on Maggie, Bryce and Mark. I so wish there would be a way for Maggie to stay alive by the end of the book, but it's Nicholas Sparks and I am bracing for impact. :~(

Thanks again, it has been a real pleasure having you as my picker. :*

Hi Fran
I did not succeed to read as many I wanted this time. But I really enjoyed Pretty Instinct and The Deal Breaker. I have all the others in my TR ☺️
Thanks again for your picks !

Hi mountaincat

I read and enjoyed Pack Challenge by Shelly laurenston. Im hoping to get to the next book sometime as I would like to continue the series.

Im hoping to at least get to Deal with a dragon by Katee Robert in October. I also might try to get to shoulda been a cowboy but see where the month takes me.


Thanks for the picks again :)

Fran-
Thanks again for my picks for September!
I actually read 5 of the books on the list:
1. When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James- 4 stars
2. The Bride Goes Rogue by Joanna Shupe- 5 stars- LOVED this one
3. Confessions of a Little Black Gown by Elizabeth Boyle- 3 stars-- liked it and found a new author.
4. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James- had been on my TBR forever. I liked it more than I expected- 3 stars
5. Fifty Shades Darker by E. L. James- because I could not stop on the cliffhanger- 3 stars-- though no interest in the next one in the series.
Thanks again!
