For Erin (again O.O):

Well, I apologize ahead of time if you hated my picks last month that you're stuck with me again ;-) I hope I did you justice last month and do so again this month. I tried to grab things that might interest you as being similar to what's on your Read or To-Read shelves. Please let me know if you need any new picks. Hope you finding something to enjoy!!! Happy Reading :-D

Quiet Misty Mornings:
NEW: Bonded- Nicky Charles
I don't see this series on your Read shelf and you seem to like shifter books, so I hope you give this series a chance. This one also fits the new beginnings rule as it is about a bonding to seal an alliance - all kinds of new beginnings there.

TBR: The General and the Elephant Clock of Al-Jazari - Sarah Black
I don't see the author on your Read shelf, so I hope that means you haven't read her ;-)


Sunny Days at the Beach:
NEW: Charmed and Dangerous: A Bobbie Faye Novel (aka Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day) - Toni McGee Causey
Looking at your Read shelf, I saw that you like Linda Howard. I haven't read her as extensively as you, but I really liked the little mini series she has with Blair Mallory as the heroine - after I read those, I started looking for similar books with similar type heroines and ran across Toni McGee Causey and the Bobby Faye series. I loved it. I hope you give it a chance :-)

TBR: Doe and the Wolf - Eve Langlais
I've read the first of this series, and if I remember from what I've read and heard, these are fairly light and humorous� I think anything with a series name of F.U.C. can't be taken too seriously, right?


Long Evenings with Beautiful Sunsets:
NEW: Sugar Creek - Toni Blake
I saw the first in this series on your Read shelf. I wanted to rec the second to you. I liked it better than the first - there is more of an edge to the MCs and their romance but what makes this perfect for the rule is the flashback romance which is very very romantic, both because it's nostalgic and because of the bittersweet ending.

TBR: Eleanor & Park - Rainbow Rowell
Young love, first love is always romantic. I don't read YA so haven't read this one but everyone else seems to love it. Hope you do too!


Stormy Nights:
NEW: Secret- Kindle Alexander
I pretty much exhausted my MM well of knowledge last month for you but you seemed to have liked this author, so I thought I'd give you another rec from her. The blurb sounds very intense and actually made me want to read it� I read several reviews because there is the possibility of infidelity and didn't want to rec something that might not work for you. From what I read, there is no emotional cheating. That's as much as I want to say - plus I haven't read the book, so I can't for sure say what actually happens. Let me know if you read this and how you liked it or if the premise just doesn't work for you and I'll give you another pick.

TBR: Archangel's Storm - Nalini Singh
With Storm in the title, I figured it had to fit the bill and from all I've heard, it's an intense series. Plus it does have a mostly black cover.

Thanks for these picks!!! They look awesome. I'm especially intertested in the Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off... gotta be a good story there!! Looking forward to diving in to several, actually. Thanks again!!

You know, I was going to ask if you had those on your list purposefully. I have a few re-reads on my list and people rarely pick them for me, so it was intentional on my part, lol. I had a blast with your shelves and have no problem doing re-picks if you'd like. Just let me know :)

Thanks for the great picks Alexis! I have no idea what I'll pick because now I have an awesome pool of possible reads to pick from this month. I do know that I just added a ton of new books to my tbr.

Thanks again!

Hey Elke!
Thanks for the picks! Last month someone else recommended And One Last Thing ... so I guess it must mean that I have to pick that one up :) Also, The Dark Side Of Chemistry looks really interesting so hopefully I can get to that one as well. I've been been meaning to read Written in My Own Heart's Blood as the Outlander series is a favorite of mine but want to reread the whole series over before I do (I know...crazy because its so long and going to take me forever!) so maybe this will give me the push to try and do that this month :) I'll let you know how it all goes!

Thanks,
Kristin

Hey Raine!

Thanks for the friend request; I'm going to pick yours now and should have them up soon!

Thanks!
Kristin

Thanks Amy! I'll definitely get to at least 2 of these...Halfway to the Grave and one other!

thank you Leigh,
I will read Ugly Love first since i was thinking about that one for August. I am hoping that i can get to all of them though. :)

Thank you Diane!!! Lots to choose from. And yes, I have read a lot of books, lol.

Hi Raine!

Here are your picks, hopefully you find something you enjoy! :) Let me know if you would like any repicks.

Quiet Misty Mornings:

Sugar Daddy (NEW) - This was picked for me last month and I loved it! The heroine’s life completely changes in the middle of the story.

The Mighty Storm (TBR) - Kind of like ‘new beginnings� this one is more about second changes for two friends who are reconnecting after many years. About a rockstar and this one is a really entertaining but angsty book.



Sunny Days at the Beach:

Summer of Two Wishes (NEW) - I read this one while on vacation so to me, it will always remind me of ‘summer�. Overall it would be a light beach read but does have a bit of a heavier topic with the heroine being a veterans widow who gets remarried and her first husband comes back from the dead. I enjoyed reading and thinking what I would do if in the same situation. I also think I should get extra points because the title even has “summer� in it and the cover is yellow/orange :)

Exclusively Yours (TBR) - When I think of summer reads this is one of those that always comes to mind. It’s about a family vacation during the summer and reminds me so much of my annual summer trip. A really fun and light book that takes place during the summer and would be a great “beach read�.



Long Evenings with Beautiful Sunsets:

Paradise (NEW) - When I think of a very romantic storyline, I immediately think of Paradise. This book is one of my favorites and is a longer saga.

Easy (TBR) - This one also has a pretty romantic storyline and is one of my favorite YA/NA books. When I saw it on your TBR list I had to pick it :)



Stormy Nights:

If I Stay (NEW) - This storyline is intense, not really suspenseful/scary but is intense in the fact that I felt just so emotionally invested throughout the whole book. The heroine is in a car crash where her whole family dies and she is left in a coma. The book a series of flashbacks and her having an almost out-of-body experience watching her loved ones visit her in the hospital leaving her to decide if she will “stay�.

Twist Me (TBR) - This is another one that was recommended to me and I loved. It was dark, a bit disturbing (in a good way!) and yet so enjoyable.

Hey Jojo,

Thanks for the offer, I really do appreciate it, but my reading time has been (hopefully temporarily) cut back enough recently that I'm probably better off not having any additional options this time around - it would just frustrate me more that I don't have time for them all! =P

Thanks again LaurLa, this is an excellent list! I enjoyed last months pick very much and I have some still on hold at my library, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get them in before the month is over. Nonetheless, I still look forward to reading them when I do get a copy. There are so many here that I really want to get to, but I am thinking sounds like fun. I loved the first Blair Mallory book, so this sounds perfect. The audiobook was a really fun listen if you enjoy audiobooks. I also just finished another Rainbow Rowell book yesterday, so I may need to give a try. Thanks again, I'm excited to try out a new author.

So in an attempt to make your goal and my goal of finding a 5 star book I am going to read as many of your picks as possible. I also going to cheat and start early because classes start in August so the first couple I read wont officially count for the challenge.

The pressure! :) I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I can help too if you need more - I wasn't sure what my day was going to look like or I would have volunteered earlier. =)

Hi KarenH!!

Thank you so much for so many amazing picks! I'm going to go with because it sounds like the lighthearted and fun read I need! And paranormal romances are my favorites so great choices :) If I finish it quickly, I'll also be reading since a lot of people I know have been reading that one.

Dratted! Mai I'm so sorry. I've been going through updates all day thinking I had to the end of the day to get your picks in to you. I was just about to start working on them. It's been a crazy long couple of days. But I see they got you with the repicks.

I feel horrid. If you want more picks let me know and I'd be happy to pick for you too.

No worries, Shelby :)

I totally understand, that sometimes life is really busy or we get stuff like due dates mixed-up :) Don't feel bad about it *hugs*

Thanks for the picks, Shannan! I'm sure I'll read one from my TBR, but I definitely wanna take a peek at alien dragons lol...

Sorry I haven't been able to do my picks this month. I have been very sick these past few days.. I hope I can still participate in the challenge and read my pick for the month.

Hi Irina, sorry to hear you haven't been well...hope you're feeling better now! Of course you're more than welcome to participate by reading one or more of your picks! :D

First I want to say once again to Suzanne for the really great picks, and that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do this because of three problems, which are:1st problem is on 27th of this month my Apple iPad 64 GB screen got cracked so I had to send it off to get fixed, so that's taking care of, so the 2 problem was how to read my books but think goodness that problem is also taking care of because 2 of my picks and the are both Apple IBooks but i fixed it by finding them on Barnes & Noble for free so i just re bought them so now i can read them plus on my nook app which is also on my Pandigital erader,but the downside to that is I can only read nook books on it so I still had a 3rd problem which was how to read my kindle picks which are and and but that problem is taking care as well , because I found and download the Amazon Kindle app on my Windows 8 phone by HTC,that lets you read your kindle books on your Windows phone which is great. So hopefully no more problems will pop up and I can still have a great read.anybody else's last couple of days been as bad as mine has.

Oh that sucks, Elizabeth. :(

It's a good thing you could find other ways to read your stories!

Pamela Su wrote: "Oh that sucks, Elizabeth. :(

Thinks and it was a good thing to. I just wish that my Pamdigital eread would have let me read my kindle books as well ,but it won't.anyway I'm thinking of trying to or saving up the money to get a kindle that way I'll have a back up for my kindle books incase something happens to my iPad or Windows phone 8 by HTC.

Here are the ones I picked form the ones Suzanne picked for me:
1;Quiet misty morning (new beginnings)

2:beautiful sunset (long book) 610 pages 8/2/15 five stars

3:sunny days at the beach( orange cover)
8/3/15-8/15 five stars

Stormy nights(mostly gray)

Stormy nights( short book) 44 pages read 8/3/15 five stars

I read my first pick Spider's Trap and gave it 4 stars. I love this series and cant wait for what's next.

Jane (PS) thanks for the rec! It was a great addition to the series.

Ashley wrote: "I read my first pick Spider's Trap and gave it 4 stars. I love this series and cant wait for what's next.

Glad to hear it was great. This is near the top of my TBR pile.

I just read my second pick Six Hearts and I loved it. It reminded me of the movie the Illusionist. Which is one of my favorites because it has Edward Norton in it who I am hopelessly in lust with. Thankyou Nichole!

You will love it I actually think it was my second favorite book of the whole series.

I'm glad you've enjoyed both of those! You're further than I am with Gin but I'm closing the gap :)

It reminded me of that movie too! Most people just stare blankly at me if I ever mention it. Hmph! And I just picked up Hearts of Fire the other day to read in the near future. *It's lendable, btw*

I bought it too... I have resisted the urge to read it in favor of the Bronze Horseman. If you read the Hearts of Fire before me you will have to tell me your verdict!

I just finished my third book The Bronze Horseman and I am devastated by it. I am so sad for both of them and the crap hand that life handed them and that they continued to make worse with some unfortunate choices. It will probably take me years to build up the fortitude to read the next book.
3 STARS

I hope that you like it--I really did. There is also a series of short video blogs on youtube that goes with the book that I thought was a lot of fun.

Here are the ones I picked form the ones Suzanne picked for me:
1;Quiet misty morning (new beginnings) 352 pages 7/2/15 2 stars

2:beautiful sunset (long book) 610 pages 8/2/15 five stars

5:Stormy nights( short book) 44 pages 8/3/15 five stars

so I've read and loved it ,thinks Suzanne for that great pick, started it at 12:00 am and couldn't put it down until I finished it, so here's hoping that the others are just as good or maybe better.

You're blowing through the picks! I loved The Bronze Horseman but it eviscerated me so I can understand not wanting to jump into the next book. It's also a hard read. I almost feel bad for picking it but as sad as it is- it's one of my all time favorites. You need some light-hearted nonsense to cleanse the palette!
