This week's topic is books you can't wait to read during the second half of the year! So anything July and after. But I will try not to duplicate from the last list of Summer TBR, so maybe August and after. As usual this is going to be a bigger than 10 list. But I'm not sure I have enough on my list - which is the perfect excuse to stalk other blogs to add more books. Of course, I'm just adding the ones with covers.
An old friend from Mel's college days appears asking for a debt to be settled - she wants cupcakes baked for her soon to be ex fiance. She wants to be on the phone with Mel when they are delivered. Except when Mel finally tracks him down, he's been murdered.My Thoughts: I adore this series; I enjoyed this addition to the series. I loved Angie as bridezilla. I loved her and Mel's interactions will all the wedding talk. I loved more of Mel and Joe. I'm so looking forward to the next book, all about weddings, in this series. Another scrumptious read from Jenn McKinlay.
Of course, Diane is the number one suspect. She begs Mel to figure out the murderer and then they will be square. Mel isn't thrilled with the plan, but she goes along with her old friend.
What she uncovers makes her remember why they're no longer friends - she doesn't belong in that world.
Library Recommendation: Serve these up at your library, your patrons will thank you
With Raven's cover blown, she's got to stay one step ahead of KATO intelligence. But in order to get her revenge on the agency that held her captive for years, she might need a little inside help. Can she trust her old enemies to become allies with her? Can she get close enough to talk with them and perhaps turn them or will they complete their mission and recapture her alive?My Thoughts: I love this series - lots of action and danger. I love the idea of taking down KATO from the inside. I love that Raven's father enters the picture and how that messes with her head. I love the tangled relationships Raven has with the other IDA agents, especially with Scorpion. I loved meeting the other KATO girls - and seeing the world through their eyes. They added humor to the story. After that cliffhanger ending, I can't wait to see what happens next.
Library Recommendation: Get this for your school and public library - it's a fantastic series with a female heroine who doesn't take no for an answer and goes after what she wants.

This week's topic is summer's TBR pile - because I included June books in the Spring TBR pile, I'll just include July and August books. Especially the ones I dream about reading by the pool (I wish I had a pool.)
