Hi Chelle Can I ask a favor? I should've paid more attention to my book choices. I totally messed up my book choices. Could you re-pick for me? My fault and thanks! ( I removed it from my list).
Thanks, Jennifer, I'm looking forward to all three of those books--and they'll help with some spelling challenges too!

I'm hoping Chelle sees my post here because I messed up on my dusty bookshelf. I had to remove both the choices she made for me. If she doesn't see my post. Could someone pick two books total for me? Thanks!

Since you'd only like two choices, I picked
, which I absolutely adored, and
, which has been on my tbr for what seems like forever (because I'm lazy, not from lack of desire to read it I assure you, so no worries). Hopefully you'll end up adoring, or at least enjoying, both of them. ^_^

Thanks for the picks. I've been going through this absolute horror binge lately, so this will be perfect.

I was actually thinking that this was a good way to do it :D"
Next time I’m swamped with work and miss my dates, this is just what our default will be. People just pick for the person either above them or below them 🤣🤣🤣

Thank-you!!! These look great!

I'll make you work on your series anyway ;)
Happy reading!"
Thank you SO much!! In the future I guess I'll make sure a book is published before I add it to my list, lol.
Completion Post - Book 1
Book - Lone Women
Author - Victor LaValle
Date - 8/6/23
Rating - 4 Stars
Review - This book opens up with quite a mystery that doesn't get revealed until the middle of the book, but it had me hooked right from the beginning. I wanted to know why Adelaide was burning her childhood home to the ground along with the bodies of her dead parents and leaving town. I also wanted to know why in the heck she was carrying around a locked steamer trunk that even a grown man had trouble pulling. What happened that made her want to leave California and head for the ass end of Montana. There was a bit of a creep factor in it, but you soon discover that the real monsters are walking among the humans and not who you think they are.
COMPLETION POST
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A short story that sets the stage for another book about Tom in the series. This story was a lot better than the previous one which starred Liam.
Rating: 3 Stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Fast read. Could have been longer. It's an okay read if you're looking for something uncomplicated.
Mod

I DNF'd. It had a lot of promise but it was so slooooow moving. I gave up after a couple chapters. Oh well, on the next DB choice.
I finished one of this month's choices-
