What did everyone pick?  I'm still deciding.

[candreco]

I'm leaning toward Neighborly, but White Rose, Black Forest looks interesting too.

[melissa]

I just picked up Silent Victim.

[ssmjlm]

I'm debating Neighborly or Silent Victim.

[Jenniatonu]

Silent Victim. Although here's hoping I get to read it. My TBR is so long.

[cajunmom]

I never even knew about this! My prime membership is severely underutilized, I tell ya.

[bittybomb]

I chose Neighborly.

[claudiajean]

I picked Neighborly.

[pinotgrig]

Silent Victim

If anyone is on Goodreads, these are always (at least the ones I’ve been interested enough to look up on GR) set up on giveaways where you can sign up to win a copy (e-book). If I’m torn between 2, I’ll register for the giveaway on the one I don’t choose. And I’ve won one before!

[wambam]

I chose Neighborly. this was a meh month for me.

I've probably read 1/3 of the kindle first books.  I just leave them for when my library books aren't available and I need something to read.  I've been trying to read an older one for probably 4 months now.

Stillhouse Lake is probably the only kindle first book that really did anything for me.  I just read the second in that series.

My favorite one ever was The Short Drop by matthew Fitzsimmons.

[ginger]

I went with Bone Music ultimately but I was really intrigued by Silent Victim and Neighborly.

[Leeham Rimes]

Bone Music appeases to the side of me that likes to watch Marvel's The runaways but white rose black forest also seems interesting. Neighborly lost me at the description.

[megstoo]

I never knew about this...

I ended up choosing neighborly

[imojoebunny]

Silent Victim. I can't do another WWII and I have been dealing with an annoying neighbor for two weeks at a rental house, so don't even want to think about neighbors. I am almost done with "As Good as True" from last month, and I have enjoyed it.

[circa1978]

I don't really like any of the options this month. Suspense is not my thing.

[wildrice]

I picked Silent Victim. I agree this month didn't really have anything that seemed super exciting.

[Crystal]

Neighborly here. I was debating between that and Silent Victim.

[fiddles]

I ended up going with Neighborly. I have a shit ton of library books in my queue so I doubt I'll get to this one any time soon.

[meganew]

Omg!!!’ The historical fiction book is written by a teacher at my school! That’s crazy!

[fivechickens]

I picked Silent Victim and already started reading it. So far I like it.

This is actually part of the Kindle Unlimited program. Its $9.99 a month and you get to borrow unlimited books from Amazon (provided they're on the Unlimited program, which surprisingly, a lot of them are).  And part of the program is that you get 1 book free to keep 1 month before it's release date.

[nicbreeful]

Also, I picked Silent Victim. Neighborly was my second choice.

I am not part of Kindle Unlimited and I get a free book every month too.

I think it just comes with Prime membership.

[underwaterrhymes]

Oh, and I picked Go.

[mrsukyankee]

I chose White Rose

[VillainV]

I picked Go — excited to read it!

[textbookcase]

I'm going to get Go, I think. I have so many on my TBR list right now, I'm not sure when I'll get to it! I'm doing both the Book Riot Read Harder and the Pop Sugar reading challenges so I have a bunch of stuff to get through.

[jenny1223]

I picked White Rose, Black Forest and read 30% of it last night. I'm enjoying it so far.
