Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

I'm another newbie, but I'd love to join this month.

I'm a huge football fan!

Last month was my first PIFM and I cannot wait to participate this month! So stinking excited for picks! I am going to say baseball!

Welcome Gea and Julie! And it is great to see you so excited Elizabeth! Watch out all of you, this challenge is addicting!

Already addicted...having someone else tell me what to read all month, amazing!

Oh my, those tight pants....

I'm in! I love college football. Go BUCKS!!

This will be my first PIFM challenge.

in for baseball please.

I'm usually more of a lurker, but this sounds fun. Maybe this will help bring me out of the lurker status :)

Baseball for me please.

I haven't done this in a very long time, but enjoyed it in the past so I'm going to wade back in this month.

Football for me :)

yay pairings are out tonight!!

Welcome Jodi and Nichole!

I hope you enjoy your first PIFM, it's addicting!

I hope you have fun Jodi and Nichole!

I'm anxious for them and I'm hosting!

I'm in!!
I'll go for football :)

Do we get a preview of the categories, wink wink.

I thought I signed up for this, but I guess the post never went through. I'm in for Football.

Baseball please!

What time will pairing be released, Kat? Not that I'm jumping around with impatience or anything... *wink*

Waiting, waiting, waiting....*twiddles thumbs*... waiting, waiting, waiting.

Ahhh! By the time the pairings will be posted, I'll probably be sleeping (I've been up all night working.)

I'm going on a tour today and hopefully I can post the picks when I come back to the hotel later in the evening. If I cannot post them today, then most likely I'll post them when I get back to the US later in the week. But I'll try my best to post them today!!

Have fun DG!! (I assume a 'tour' means something fun, and not a 'tour of duty' :) And sleep well.

My post (142) must have been missed....I'm in for football.

Field of Dreams:Eternal Rider by Larissa Ione

Clean Up Hitter:Kiss of the Highlander by Karen Marie Moning

World Series:Prisoner of My Desire by Johanna Lindsey

Football
First and Goal:The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson-- you can borrow this one from me

Friday Night Lights:A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin--you should still read the books even if you have seen the show.

Touchdown:Markedby Elisabeth Naughton--I have this on my kindle I'd have to check to see if I can loan it.

Superbowl:Dark Lover by JR Ward--I can't believe you haven't read these books yet.

Hope you like your pics! hahaha :D

Thanks!!

Here are my picks for Jen.


Baseball - From Their To-Read (or Similar Unread) Shelf:
Home Run:You need to catch up for the new one just released! The Guardian, by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Field of Dreams: If you build it they will come... Suggest a paranormal romance, A Quick Bite, by Lynsay Sands. The Argeneau series is one of my favorites.

Clean Up Hitter: To clean up their shelves, pick the next book in a series your pickee has enjoyed Demon, by Kristina Douglas. I haven't read this one but I see we both read the first one and liked it.

World Series: So suggest a book set outside the US
Ral's Woman, by Laurann Dohner. This was a hard one to pick, hopefully this works for you. I haven't read it but I have it in my freebie to read pile too. The blurb says kidnapped from Earth, so I guess that means outside the US.

Football - From Your Shelves or New to Them:
First and Goal: Suggest a new genre kind of new author Master of Desire, by Kinley MacGregor AKA Sherrilyn Kenyon. I see you too like her paranormal stuff, you should give her historicals a shot. Just ignore the cheesy cover.

Friday Night Lights: Pick a book that has been or will be made into a movie or TV show. The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It is a really good book completely different than her other series.

Touchdown: Recommend one of your five star reads from this year. Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas. This was reccomended to me in the July PIFM, I put off everything else on my list and raced through the whole series they were all 5 star books. There is a prequel but it isn't necessary to read it first, and it was only 4 stars :). lol.

Super Bowl: The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter, while everything she writes I haven't enjoyed I do think this series is SUPER.

Hey KarenH - you've got me picking for you this month :) Going to have to dust off my brain and start thinking! I can't even start to look at this for another 7 hours, and suspect I won't be able to finish the list until tomorrow night. ...But don't fret - I'll be on to it :)
