Nothing looks hugely appealing ... will wait for more reviews. Why does everyone have to have 'dark secrets'?

 

[Linjeakel]

Only one difference in this month's UK list.

Once again, nothing I'm particularly eager to try.

i looked at the "humor" selection, but after reading the reviews decided it wasn't quite my cup of tea.

so i got the H.G. Wells, since the blurb reads more like alt history than thriller.  hope i'm right, as i'm not a big thriller/horror fan.

 

[Atunah]

i had a couple of options the last couple of months, but there is nothing this month. Nada.

I don't need anymore dark secrets or depressing stuff. I still can't remember the last time or ever if we had a actual romance, a mystery. I think the very first month of this program there was a romance, a historical romance even. That was it. Also no mysteries, just depressing psycho thrillers, thrillers. Sigh. Oh and book club selections. whatever the heck that even means.

I went with the romantic comedy, since the reviews are pretty good for that one.

This seemed like a really appealing month when I first clicked the link and saw the covers - and then I dug deeper and read the descriptions for each of them, and the appeal slipped away one by one.

With that said, Room-Maid and the H.G. Wells book are both possibilities for me.

 

[telracs]

i finished the H.G. Wells book.  i liked it, but did not love it.  it was kind of nice to have a WW1 book as opposed to a WW2 book for a change.

 

[CS]

Room-Maid and the H.G. Wells book are both possibilities for me.

Pickings were slim this month, but I went with Room-Aid. The opening lines of that grabbed me, whereas the opening lines of H.G. Wells made me realize it's not really my kind of book.

I chose A Single Swallow, the literary novel choice. I did not see this thread until today, but last month's reminded me yesterday to check on September's and I got the book last night.
