So since my hands have forsaken me and knitting is more of a challenge than a pleasure of late, I have gotten back into reading... a LOT. I LOVE to read and am currently stuck on cheesy romance novels. I don't know why they appeal to me at the moment, they never really have in the past... I think it is the fact that they all end with a happily ever after (HEA). Actually I started reading them after I finished the Hunger Games trilogy and just felt spent. I needed something with an HEA and got hooked. Generally, they are light reads and fairly fast for me.
I joined a reading challenge on Goodreads (Love that site by the way.. feel free to friend me the link is in the sidebar). It is a simple enough challenge... Pick a word that describes June to you and find a book to match each letter. I chose Showers. I know April is known for Showers, but here in Houston (in a non-drought year) we typically get a afternoon shower more often than not in June (and July).
So without further ado... Here is my list. Please note not all of these titles are "family friendly" as a matter of fact the last 4 are far from it. But I am an adult, if you aren't don't read them ;)
S - Summer Desserts (Great Chefs, #1) by Nora Roberts
H - The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch
O - One Summer by Nora Roberts
W - Worth the Scandal by Karen Erickson
E - Effortless by SC Stevens
R - Running with the Devil by Lorelei James
S - Sylvain Reynard Gabriel's Inferno
So what is on your reading list for the month?
I'm reading the third Game of Thrones book now, and also read a book club book each month...intersting challenge, i think i'd have to pick a short word :)
ReplyDeleteI have the Game of Thrones series on my to be read list. I bought the kindle books the other day. It will probably be the first thing after I finish my challenge books.

ReplyDeleteI joined Goodreads a few months ago but have yet to follow through on anything. Note to self: Back away from the laptop and read a book! It looks like now would be the time (June Spell It Out ) Thanks for the post ...I needed this reminder.
