Good to know you liked it :)
It can be used for BSB shelf magic and I had problems with that shelf. Now I won't have to worry about scrolling through loads of book I don't know to find sth I like :)

I finished my second book for this month: Timeless. Although it wasn't my favorite of the series, I did enjoy it and I thought it was a very fitting ending. I am sad that the series is over...

[Macwolf01 [Elise]]

I know I was very sad too. I was secretly hoping she would do a new series in the future with their daughter as the main character...

Ab2y ~ glad you liked Cat and Bones ☺ they are hilarious!! Sorry that you didn't like Lover Awakened.
Just finished The Hunger Games ~ thanks for the push to get it off my TBR. Gave it 4 stars. Really enjoyed it and my son and nieces were happy since we can all talk about it now. Will have to read Catching Fire sometime soon.

I finished by pick, and Friday and really enjoyed it. The other books I've read by this author have not been favorites of mine, but this one I liked. Thanks for the recommendation Megan L!

Hi Cathy - I just finished Shadow Game - This was a really good book - the attraction between them was instant but the story built really well and it means I'm going to have to keep reading this series. - Thanks for the rec.

[Joyce]

Hi Jackie, I finished my PIFM read of Bloodsucking Fiends on 10/12/12 and I give it ★★★★. It was a fun read and I'm looking forward to the next in that series.

Glad you enjoyed the book Fran... I loved the humour throughout that book.

Incidentally, I read that you gave me for my birthday the other day month(!) and really enjoyed it! It had a great balance of mystery and romance :) Thanks!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Hey Jane - I need to thank you too...if you hadn't recommended Shattered Glass to me in last month's PIFM it never would have been on my radar to suggest to Fran this month. You're just all over this buddy read! :D

[~Leslie~]

Hi Jodi! I finished and I loved it! I listedned to it on audio and it was a great listen. I loved it so much as soon as I finished I went out and rented the movie! Thanks for the recommendation.

I thought they did a good job with the movie, kept it true to the book. Of course it isn't the same, but the feeling is. And I hated Hilly just as much in the movie as I did in the book!

I'm glad you liked it Jane! I've had it on my kindle for awhile and haven't gotten to it.

Now we have to wait for Cai's book....I am not a very patient person, lol!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

It's coming out soon isn't it? It'll be interesting to see where they all are now... As I recall it is set a bout 5 years after the end of Shattered Glass...

[Megan L]

Hi Jodi. I finished today and I couldn't put it down I loved it so much! The family was so great and I loved the romance between Katie and Zach! Thank you for another great book that I can recommend in the future!

I think it's 3 years later and Cai is 19. And he's back for that cop that was in the kitchen.

Oh yeah, hasn't really started for me yet, but real life really gets in the way during the holidays! Thank goodness for anthologies and novellas! =)

What are you planning on reading Drew? I'm sure there are a few members out there trying to decide their next book... We just need some pointers :)

I'm planning to read & but they are both audiobooks, so I'm not sure of my timing...

I'm glad you liked it Megan. I heard the audio book is well done but I haven't got a chance to listen yet.

[Jodi]

I finished my first PIFM book, Game for Anything. I enjoyed the book, I love sport based romances.

Susan Mallery is one of my favorites, I read every book! That series is a great one. I think my fave book in the series is the 4th book "The Marcelli Bride"

[Suzanne]

I finished At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost and I had a hard time getting into this one. I think the missions kept distracting me, so now that she's quit her FBI job and is going to focus on Bone's lineage will make the storyline better. ***

Is it to late to sign up for this month?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Dolores wrote: "Is it to late to sign up for this month?"

Yes, Delores :( But the good news is that the next round will be posted in a few days (assuming we are lucky!) :)

Basically we sign up to this challenge from around 21st of the month, generally answering a question that the host poses. The host then closes down the sign off period, matches us to another member (who also signed up), provides us with guidelines on the selection of books, and then we have about 4 or 5 to post our recommendations for our pickee. In turn, we select a book from the list that our picker provided. And throughout the month, we provide feedback on the book that we read from our picker's list :)

It's great fun, but make sure you read the hosts instructions and guidelines.

Oh - you have made me think I need to continue the series LL! I'd sort of put it to one side after

Me too after Blade I wasn't going to countinue with the series but some great reviews made me add it to my To-read list.
I'm reading right now , it's good so far .

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

OK - off to add it to the wishlistb ;) I wonder if we'll be able to access it in audio...?

[ShoSho]

Jane (PS) wrote: "OK - off to add it to the wishlistb ;) I wonder if we'll be able to access it in audio...?"
you mean from the library?
I don't think so , they have the whole series in PB only.I wish they had them in ebook or audio, it's easier to access .

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I can get the first 3 books at Audible, and they have the others listed (out to book 6!), but not sure if it is a DRM issue or they haven't yet been narrated...

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

It looks like it's a DRM issue Jane, because they are all available to me. Geo restrictions - grrrr!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Arghhhhh! G*d-damn them!! Do these things (DRMs) ever lift/expire? or are the restrictions there until a new narration is done?
