I'm not sure it's actually fuchsia but it was the closest I had.


message 23: by Jennifer, Moderator (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) | 1749 comments Mod
I think it's closer to fuchsia than it is to red, so it's fine as far as I'm concerned.


message 24: by Joy D (new)

Joy D | 1218 comments Finished my "fuschia" (it's the closes one I had on my TBR) for July:
Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason

Karen (readerkaren) | 140 comments Finally finished this book by Nick Offerman. I wanted to read it when the cover color was blue and then I thought I could read it when the cover color was green. The lettering at the bottom of the cover is yellow, so I am counting it. Finally off my tbr.

Finished Left on Tenth, a memoir. It was well written, but I couldn't really related to the author or her life.

Congratulations, did you like the book?


message 37: by Karen (new)

Karen (readerkaren) | 140 comments I did like it. I wasn't sure what to expect. I was really surprised about Ron's interest in sustainable farming. I didn't know that he goes from a family of farmers in Illinois. It was a more serious book than I expected. A little dry humor, of course. I don't think it is for everyone, but I gave it 4 stars. thanks for asking.

In my head I am doing a happy dance because I hit my goal this month. I just need to go back and catch up on the last few months…�

@Karen -- I loved that book too -- so glad you liked it!
@Beth -- finishing your "designated reads" in a month is as good as checking the last thing off a list!

message 47: by Jackie (new)

Jackie | 1063 comments Eddie and the Cruisers by P.F. Kluge

An unexpected book for this month. I was reviewing a list of great music in movies and Eddie and the Cruisers was listed. I gave the book 3 stars because I liked the music in the movie and the surprise ending in the book. The writing is very plain and it was an easy read.
