[Isabella]

Wow Jojo I admire that you are a quick reader and finished 2 books already. I'm really happy that you enjoyed both books and you're encouraging me to see by myself how good they are to read.

If I'm not mistaken, you'll get a glimpse of Declan and Rose in the latter part of the book, plus the kids.

I haven't read a Patterson book in forever. Maybe I'll try to remember where I am in the series and pick one up again. Hope you enjoy.

Great Megan. Just let me know. I bought it, so am completely flexible to your scheduled. May need a day or so to finish any book I'm into at the time.

Hi Coffeentea, I can start tonight or tomorrow if you'd like whatever works best for you. E

[Irina]

Just finished reading absolutely loved it! The book was everything I wanted it to be and more. It was hilarious there were moments where I simply couldn’t control my laughter! Everyone around me thought I was NUTS!! Well I guess that’s the price you pay for reading an amazing book! I would recommend this book to all fans who like romance novels with humor. I think Sophie Kinsella should write more stand alone novels because she’s amazing at them.

Thanks for the rec Lexa! ;)

[Rishika]

Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've enjoyed all of her stand alone books, but never gotten into the Shopaholic series. I'm going to have to find this one pretty quickly it sounds like it was a great read!

Hi Lauren-Finished my first book-


Elite 8: Double Play by Jill Shalvis (Baseball)
I gave it 4 stars.

[Kami]

I finished The Hollow my buddy read with ~Megan~ and I wasn't completely thrilled with it. I am giving it three stars.

[Megan L]

I finished the pick from Brett. It was ok. I nice read but I didn't really love it. I give it 3 stars.

[SandyC]

I have learned an important lesson about not judging a book by its title. I absolutely loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I am so glad Aleksandra recommended it. At first, I was annoyed that the story was told in letters, then I realized it was a great way to get multiple perspectives on the story. I love historical fiction, and this book did a great job describing the German occupation of the Channel Islands in World War II. Some of the survivors' stories were heartbreaking, and others were quite funny. Makes me want to read a non-fiction book about this event. Great book!

I agree. This book was silly, but "nice silly". I laughed out loud all the time too. :-)
Sometimes you need to read something like this.

[Pollyanna]

Hey Melissa, when would you like to read The Summoning?

[Elke]

Finished my pick of A Rogue By Any Other Name . I gave it 3 stars....I liked it, but I have read better (by Sarah Maclean). The next one in the series looks good!

Thanks again Ana for the pick!

[Alexis]

Hey Vi! I read Perfect Chemistry tonight! I didn't even plan to read it. I was really annoyed at a horrible ARC that I had just finished and I already had it on my nook so I just opened it up to begin reading... that was about 7 hours ago and I am now finished with it. ;) I literally could not put it down! So thank you for a great recommendation!! and, please tell me the rest of her books are just as good because I will be wanting more of her writing!

[Vi]

Hey Lexa! *evil grin* Another one on the Elkeles bandwagon. I'm slowly working my way through her backlist but she's really good. Glad you enjoyed the read :)

[Skandia]

I just finished Firefly Lane, mu Buddy read with Sandy.
I loved the book, gave it 5 stars.
Definitely will look up other Kristin Hannah books to read.

No stress Rishika, timing is totally up to you :-)

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

I finished .

I like the story despite some flaws with the storyline and the lack of attention to detail. Ordered the next book from the library first thing this morning. It is going to interfere with my reading plan for the month if I can't put this series down now.

[Rishika]

Hi Penny, thanks a lot. I will surely read most of the books by next week

[Ana]

Hi,
I've just finished "Perfect Play" by Jaci Burton. It was a 3 star book for me.
She writes well, but the story was a little bit boring.

I'm glad you like it. I enjoyed it, too.

[Skandia]

Finished Catching Fire today.
The book was ok, but for me it felt like the second book repeated the first more or less. 3 stars.

I just started this yesterday. I loved The Hunger Games, but I'm not far enough into this one to make comparisons yet.

[Nancy H]

Hi Shell,
Just finished another of your picks, Fatal Fixer-upper and really liked it. I have had that series sitting on my shelf for a while, so I needed a nudge to get to it. Now I am hooked and will definitely read the sequels. Thanks for recommending it.

[Susan (susayq ~)]

Dawn (Kat N Hat), I just finished books 4 and 5 in that series. IMO they were SOOOO much better than the one you just finished!

[Shell]

The audio book is even better. The Male Narrator has a voice to die for!

Book #5 is my favorite in the whole series!

[Brett]

I finished . I loved it! I love Merripen and I can't wait to read the next book.

I loved Conrad and Neomi as well! Their book felt a little dark to me at first. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

[~Megan~]

I finished my buddy read of The Hollow with Kami! I don't think either of us really enjoyed it overmuch.

[Jojo]

Hi Isabella,

finished another rec last night - Sink or Swim - It wasn't too bad, especially for a freebie download, but I think that I may have read too many of this type recently so it was suffering in comparison.
The main character really didn't appeal to me and while she didn't deserve what was happening to her I'm not a fan of reality shows and don't really understood what drives someone to put themselves through it.

[Lacy]

Brett wrote: "I finished . I loved it! I love Merripen and I can't wait to read the next book."

I'm so glad that you liked it! Merripen is quite the catch! One out of two is okay right!? The next one in the series is my fav.
