I'm already half-way through Light of the Fireflies and I'm loving it.

I went with The Queen's Poisoner myself. I noticed it's already got five five-star ratings somehow. Hopefully that's a good sign.

So after several months when I just held my nose and picked one, or skipped the freebie altogether, this time there are four books that sound pretty decent--three suspense books and the romance (because of the WWII-era setting). I'll probably go with Orchids and Stone eventually.

I went with While You Were Mine. I'm embarking on a study of post-WWII America, so it fits right in.

I liked a few too. I have Kindle Unlimited now and I think they all end up on that so I can read more.

I am a big Jeff Wheeler fan so this month's pick was the easiest ever.

out of the three that may have interested me, two of the descriptions (Orchids and Stone,Light of the Fireflies) were vastly lacking to me. I guess I'm going with Big Fear

I started reading Orchids and Stone, pretty intriguing so far!

Difficult choice this month for all the right reasons.
I picked The Light of the Fireflies, partly because Nicky likes it so far and also because the author is Spanish, and I want to read a bit more broadly. |

I hope you like it! I finished it that same day. It was pretty good.

Just a reminder that this will probably be the last day to pick up a selection if you haven't already.
