2012 July Pick It For Me! Challenge

[Nancy H]

Rishika,
Thank you for giving me GREAT picks this month. I just finished my 6th one - The Fourth Man by K.O. Dahl. I think I have just found a new mystery author to love. All the others I read were really good, too. You did a great job picking for me! Thank you.

I finished Fifty Shades of Grey late last night. I'm not totally sure yet how I feel about it, except that I did jump right into the second book in the series this morning! :)

Thanks once again for the great picks this month, Megan L! This is by far the closest I've ever come to reading all of my picks, but I just don't think I'll be able to find the time for the last one :(

Late posting but I finished my buddy read last Sunday, but lost my partner as she was moving.

Hey Karen F, finished Pretty Little Liars last night really enjoyed it and gave it 4 stars, can't wait to finally read the rest of this series. Thanks for the rec.

Ok, sadly I have given up on my buddy read. It was just not as good as I had hoped. I have to say, this is very rare as I almost always finish the books I start and I am disappointed that this wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be! :( Thanks for the recomendations PhotoJim, and even though it will no longer be July, I plan on reading a few more of them!

Hi Lekshmy,

I was able to squeeze in another pick from you. It came in at the library for me just in time. I finished tonight 7/29.

I knew the story was going to be a little sad but I was not prepared for how devastating and heart-breaking it was. It was beautifully written, I needed many tissues, and I need some time to recover from this one.

Thank you for the great picks this month- I was able to fit in one cheery, sweet story and one emotionally intense one :)

I almost didn't finish it myself. Glad you found something you liked though.

I loved this book. The way the author described Central America in such detail, you really felt like you were there. I also though..."

Fran, sorry the library hasn't made the book available to me yet. Ugh! Anyway, I still plan on reading it and I'll let you know what I think of it. I'm looking forward to reading it. However, I did finish Do Over by Mari Carr. I really LOVED it! Wow, what a sweet story. I loved hearing how they rediscovered each other and sort of rekindled that marital flame all over again. Wonderful story! Thank you!

I finished by last book for July-To Tame A Highland Warrior I was able to finish 4 this month.

What a tough month, I started my buddy read, but didn't actually finish it.

Hi, everyone!

I'm getting ready to pull together some final statistics, so if you have any books that you've read and not listed or see that I've missed giving you credit for any, please let me know.

Thanks!
