Hi Gail! Thanks for the push to finish the next book in the BDB series- Lover Avenged. I liked it. However, I'm actually dying to read JM's book even more now! LOL Thanks again.

Hey Polina I finished Lover Eternal last night, I gave it a 4* like Dark Lover but this one was more fun to read I think, I loved the romance. I need to get Lover Awakened now :)

Thanks for the Pamela Clare I-Team rec. I decided to skip the first book, since the library didn't have it, but I didn't get lost reading Hard Evidence. I finished it last nig..."

Glad you liked it, Daffodil! That series is just awesome. :)

MAY PIFM AUTHORS


MAY PIFM BOOKSHELF

[Tania]

I've edited the finished list up to message #806. I'll be doing the rest tomorrow, so if everyone could get their finished reads listed in that would be great/.

[Autumn]

Yup, finished. The collage of book covers it's always so pretty :)

[Coffeentea]

Dee, I read both A Little Harmless Sex and Moon Called. I enjoyed the childhood friends become lovers plot in A Little Harmless Sex. The story bought me on an emotional roller coaster ride. The Mercy Thompson series was so good that I continued reading. I read Blood Bound and Iron Kissed, I am now up to the 4th book, Bone Crossed.

[Daffodil]

D.G.

Started Perfect Chemistry this morning and there's a good chance I'll finish it by tonight. I'll let you know tomorrow if I do.

[Suzanne]

Here's my final list of books I was able to read for my May Pick It For Me Challenge:

That's one of my keeper books. The only ya book i can say perfection!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Unfortunately life interfered in a big way with my reading this month, and I wasn't able to finish even one of my picks. :( I have several of them way up at the top of my TBR list though, and since things seem to finally be settling down a bit, hopefully I'll read at least a couple of them in June. Thanks for the picks, Kami, even though I couldn't do them justice!

[Debbie]

ugh - Yz, I still haven't gotten my picks from the library. I hope to have better luck next month.

[Daffodil]

D.G.

Finished Perfect Chemistry last night. Wow, I loved it. I'll definitely be looking up more from this author. The alternating viewpoint from Alex and Brit really worked well at highlighting how surface impressions and public image can mask the real person. This book has really raised the bar for YA fiction.

[Melanie]

Mandy

I just read , a day late:-D But it was absolutely fabulous! Thanks for giving me the push to buy and read it!!!

I know! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I still have it on my iPod and listen to some parts now and then...big sigh. ;)

[Mandy]

Melanie

Hooray!! I'm so glad you liked it!! I loved it. I can't wait for the next one to come out in the fall. After reading it, I went out and bought all of Brook's other books.

[Carolyn F.]

Cathy, I finally finished The Time Traveler's Wife last night and bawled my head off. What a great book! Thanks for the recommendation!!!

[Melanie]

Mandy

Really loved it, can't wait for the Fall... I actually have MB's first Demon book, so I'll have to get around to reading it now;-)

[AlbertaJenn]

So, after I read The Darkest Hour, I proceeded to read the other two books in the series. I really liked them! I don't usually go for that military/suspense romance, but this series has me hooked!

[Freya]

This was one of the toughest months. I just couldn't get the books at the library and finally I got one of them when I got my new kindle.

I finished Dead Until Dark but finished a bit late in June.
I didn't like the book much and am not sure if I should read the series. (Must have been all the hype :(

Don't think I can take part in June since its a very busy month for me at Freado. Thats a free book winning site I work with.

But looking forward to July; especially now that I have my Kindle :)
