Sorry Lou at least it was one that you could finish. It's really bad when you wish one of the leads was better.

Hey Theo,
so I listened to and didn't enjoy it that much. I am a person who chooses books by covers, and they got me again, LOL!
Too much sex and a bit too raunchy for my delicate senses (LMAO). I won't be following this series but I am glad I tried it as I have been eying that author for a while.
Thanks!

I was scandalized! you know how innocent my mind is. I found myself saying "Oh lawd!" or "Oh My!" on numerous occasions.

Thank you Jodi for the Stormdancer pick. It was a great read and one that has been sitting in the TBR shelf for way to long.

May
Picked by — Clare

Thanks for the great picks Clare!!

Rock Addiction — ★★★★★ 5/8
This has been on my radar for some time and I'm sorry I waited to read this one! This was a fun, hot, wild ride! A one-night stand for one...the beginning of forever for the other. I'm a huge fan of Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter and Psy-Changeling series'. This was the complete opposite of those, but no less at all! I don't know how long this series will go, but I look forward to seeing where it will go!

Total Surrender — ★★★★★ 5/2
I...LOVE...THIS...SERIES!!! If this is the last book in this series, I'll be sad, but it was a satisfying end. Each brother has had a unique story...getting to know each one has been awesome! I've been on pins and needles waiting for this book to come out and was not disappointed! Seeing Jory as an adult was almost surreal...kind of like acknowledging my kid brother (8 years younger) is old enough to drink. For the most part, Jory has been seen in flashbacks as a child and his upbringing truly changed him...hardened him. Piper was a fun addition to this motley crew! At first she kind of got on my nerves, but I guess if you grow up without knowing your dad, you'll take whatever you can get when you meet him. Thankfully, she sees the "light" and comes to trust Jory. I'd love to see these brothers again, but am OK if this is it!

Paris, I just finished Easy Street: The Hard Way and really enjoyed it...I'm such a Ron Perlman fan, so I was happy to get to this autobiography! Thanks!

[MSallyJ]

finished All the Light We Cannot See
WHAT SALLY FORGOT WAS SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE READING WHAT ALICE FORGOT AND THE BOOK THIEF DDDDDUUUHHHHHHHHHH!

[Susan A]

Sadie

I finished the next pick:

A Clean Break ★★★★★ I need to get to book 3 ASAP!

Thanks for the picks.

Thanks for hosting this challenge Ezinwanyi~the Impish Angel!

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

I finished , the second of my two DB choices for May. I liked this one a whole lot more than I thought i would as it was a whole lot deeper than most of the stuff I read. I think a good number of folks on this list would enjoy this one, if you like mysteries and dramas that deal with personal conflict and changes on lifestyles and how those decisions impact a person's life, and the lives of those around them.

So thanks to Susan A. for choosing this one for me...

[❀~Amy~❀]

Finished , the first of my picks, and I loved it. I'm really looking forward to reading the last book in this trilogy now. Not sure I'll manage to get my other book in, but I'm sure going to try. Thanks for picking this for me Katherine!

[MSallyJ]

Yeah! I finished What Alice forgot. I really enjoyed it. I am reading The Book Thief now.

[VNerdbooks]

I finished my 1st DB thanks it was great, I love this series Fall with me

[Dre]

Kristin, I'm still hoping to read Ty & Zane book 2, but I did read Light Outside the Closet. I'm giving it 3.5 stars. It was kind of cheesy, but I enjoyed it enough that I had to finish the series in one sitting. All of the awful things happening to this group of friends within such a short amount of time seemed a bit unbelievable, and I think it was a little too easy for them to recover from the horrible things that happened to them, but I still got teary eyed every time something bad went down.

[Debbie]

Debbie G (post 29) has finished both books
Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith 5/19/15
and
The Inn at Eagle Point by Sherryl Woods 5/13/15

These were both really good books. Thanks Amber for such great choices!

I finished and enjoyed it, but I'm not going to get to the second pick this month.

[Minerva]

Finished . I liked the book. The MCs were great together. I gave it three stars.

[Marty]

finished 5/24/15
So I finished Island of Wings today. I really had a time with this one, which is weird because the prose was lovely. I guess I just had a difficult time with the pompous, increasingly self-righteous Reverend Mackenzie and his lack of compassion for the islanders and his own wife. Elizabeth Mackenzie was a wonderful character, but the mess her husband made of the island really turned me off. Sad, because I really like the way this author writes.

I've started my second book and already like it much better. Hopefully, I can get it finished before the weekend rolls around.

I finished this one in a little over a day - granted it was a day off. I enjoyed it as we saw and found out more about Archeron and Artemis. I'm looking forward to his book - I'm going to try to fit it in next month

[Minerva]

I really enjoyed . I'm definitely going to continue with this series.

[Marty]

This was a good book. The chapters read like short stories in their own right. It's also set in a very interesting period of Northern Ireland's history, right before the violent Troubles of the 1960s and 70s. The family situation it depicts is at times weirdly humorous at first, but ultimately the dark secrets they harbor prove devastating to the narrator and his parents. It was really engrossing.

[Amy:)]

Ahh...just finished The Girl on The Train. Very good!!

[⚜️XAR]

I finished late last night. I'm really not sure what I thought of it. It was a bit of a slog to get through, but I am curious to see what happens in the next book. Thanks for the push to get it off my TBR!

Dora wrote: "Kristin ~ Experiment in Terror Junkie,

Thanks Dora! I read & loved both of my picks for this month! Kristin Hannah is always good for an emotional ride. Love her! Blackout was a slow start for me because I had to remember what happened in the first book, but once I got into it, I just could not put it down. Thank you!

[Jodi]

I got to one of my selections in May. I read , I gave it *****! I loved it so much, I have #2 in the series on the way.
