So I stuck with my plan pretty closely…and will probably complete about ten books for August — I’m happy with my choices.
I didnt provide a list but I managed to read Gather Together In My Name by Tracy Price-Thompson and you need to add to your list if you havent read it. Its a 5 out of 5 for me. Im now reading Walter Mosley Blonde Faith.Up next James McBride Song Yet Sung
Go Phyllis Go Phyllis it’s your b-day…lol.
Linda–Gather Together in My Name is on my nightstand…but Song Yet Sung has been calling my name longer…sigh.
I have completed Things Forbidden and House of Secrets. I’m almost finished with Vegas Bites: Three of a Kind. I’ve started all the other ones. I still have time to finish 3 of them.
Hey Jennifer how’s Vegas Bites treating you? Thumbs Up or Down?
I am doing good. So far I have completed 7 out of the 11 I had on my list. I should have the eighth one, Trading Dreams at Midnight completed tonight or tomorrow. I am enjoying this one. Yall had me a little worried about this one.
Whew.. I did not submit a list but I do know that the books I set aside to read I have not touched yet.. I was slowed down with two of my review books. Thus far, I have read:
Taken by Storm – Rochelle Alers
Ila’s Diamonds –
Dido’s Prize – Eugenia O’Neal
Trading Dreams at Midnight- D. Whetstone

Left to read are:
Blessed Trinity
