2012 October Pick It For Me! Challenge

[Penney]

Hi Tiffany, I finished Ordinary Angels yesterday and unfortunately it wasn't my cup of tea. Kindle freebies are very hit or miss, sometimes you luck out with a really great read, and sometimes you get a dud. This time it was a dud, but thanks for the push to get it off my TBR. :)

[Lacy]

Nairabell,

I finished Vampire Academy this morning. I am giving it 3.5 stars! It started out a little slow for me, but I got into it about a third of the way in. I really enjoyed the rest of it and I'm excited to read the second book in the series.

Thanks for the great rec. If I have time this month I will read more of them.

I hope you are enjoying your recs!

[Suzanne]

I finished Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs. It was pretty good, I'll definately be picking up the next book in the series next and reading that one! I liked the side story about Sam though!

I'm glad you liked it. I loved that whole series!

[Nikki]

Just finished Creed!! OMG I loved it! :)

[Amy J.]

I finished Cry Wolf and I enjoyed it. I think I prefer Mercy's series, but this was good too.

Thanks for the rec.

[Susan (susayq ~)]

I finished my first pick I really liked it. Gage was dreamy and I loved Liberty.

[Susan (susayq ~)]

Drew, real life gets in the way ALL the time LOL I'd be so happy if I could just read all the time :)

[Megan L]

Hi Jodi,

I just finished and I loved it. I loved the first book on audio and loved this one on audio too! I like how not only did they add the new story in it they also continued on the story from the first book. I like how all the stories flow together. I hope they keep it up through the rest of the series.

[Renee]

Glad you like it so far Andrew!!

[Katie]

Leslie --

I just finished up Dragon Bound and have to say I liked it a lot! 4 stars. Thanks so much for introducing me to this great new (to me) series and author! The next one is already holding a spot on my to buy list. :)

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thinking back to when I read it I think I found it a little slow to get started too, but once it got going it was a ton of fun :)

I thought the exact same thing, but pushed through and really enjoyed that book, too!

[Carla]

Elishia--I finished today. It was ok, not my ideal romance, but it was interesting to read something a bit different from my usual regency romances, and I was happy to get it off my TBR list. Thanks for the recommendation.

[Elishia]

You're welcome. Sorry it wasn't a great read for you but glad you didn't hate it.

[Ruth Ann]

I finished my second book-Playing to Win by Jaci Burton. I need to decide what to read next!

Hey Rena,

I finished Stealing Parker and it was fun! Not as good as Miranda Kenneally's debut novel, but I'm not sure if I've ever laughed that hard over a book! =)

[Kami]

Almost finished my second pick Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh and I am liking this one better than the first book in the Psy-Changeling series.

I think these get better the further you are in the series.

[Kami]

I finished Visions of Heat. Yeah, I definitely liked this one better than the first book. I will have to continue reading more into the series. I am giving this one four stars. I started my third pick Becoming Sage.

[Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim)]

Penney, finished How to Tell a Lie . Sorry, just didn't do it for me. I think the biggest problem was I didn't like the writing style. I loved the gaming aspect but it wasn't enough to carry it past the other pitfalls. 2 stars.

So glad you liked it! I loved the next one as well (and the next and the next!) but it's a very different story. It's a great series!

[Renee]

I started my second pick from Dawn, and already LOVE IT!!

[Bror (Abrar)]

Andrew, tell me about this month is turning out to be very busy but I'm finding its easier to read once all my kids n hubby go to sleep at night. but I understand how you feel.. good luck. I m actually enjoying this challenege probably due to the fact that I'm new to this all. but last night I was able to read more in my book n I love it.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Thank you Skandia for recommending The Witness, nora roberts...to me... i thoroughly enjoyed...4*s....i had gotten away from reading NR as some of the book just weren't up to expectations from previous reads but this book was more like the NR I remember & love. Thank you again

[Renee]

Finished and (of course) LOVED IT!! I've read really good books this month, but this one is my favorite so far. Thanks for the awesome rec, Dawn!

After caught running I started vampires are forever that was another one of your picks for me :-)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

That was a continuation of a series you had previously enjoyed as I recall... Hope you enjoy it, ShoSho :)

[Renee]

Fran wrote: "Renee, the whole series is so good!"

I can't wait to continue! I feel like the first book was just a glimpse into the whole story and I want it all! :-)

[Fran, Moderator]

I finished my second pick from KarenH, , which Jane gave me for my birthday :)

I really enjoyed the crime, action aspect of the story. And the cast of characters kept me interested and entertained the entire time - Karen, thanks for reading it with me- I can't wait to chat about it with you!

[Christina]

Finished my first PIFM, . I gave it 3.5 stars. I think I would have liked this better in print but had to get it in audiobook from the library. They didn't have the print copy. Still a good book and will probably read the next in the series.

[Nairabell]

Hi Gea!

I just finished yesterday and I loved it! I read pretty much the whole book in one session and will definitely be picking up the next two in the trilogy. Thanks for such a great rec and I'll check back if I manage to read something else (my copy of Silver Bells just arrived!) :)

[Carrie]

Hi Pollyanna I just finished my pick . I really enjoyed. Seems I've been having great luck with the freebies I have read. Thank you for the pick.

OCTOBER 2012 PICK IT FOR ME CHALLENGE


Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh 10/13
Grimspace by Ann Aguirre 10/8

Kami

I just finished and starting my second pick

[Kami]

I finished my third pick Becoming sage and I really didn't like it at all. I am giving it two stars. I thought it was really boring and I had a hard time getting into it. I didn't like the characters and I thought it was really heavy handed and preachy towards the perfections of a polyamorous M/s alternative lifestyle. I wasn't buying it.

I'm glad you liked it, Fran - I did too! Can't wait to continue our discussion about it now that we've both finished :)

Daffodil:

I finished last night. Again another 5 star read from Ilona Andrews. Thanks for reminding me to continue reading this series.

Started . Hope I finish it before the month ends.

[Sassafrass]

Andrew:

I just finished Candy Girl, and it was very cute. It's been on my TBR for 2.5 years, so I'm glad you pushed me to finally read it. I haven't read a lot of Eve Vaughn books, but I plan to read more.

Thanks for the pick. :)
