2012 November Pick It For Me! Challenge

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Hi Nikki!

I finished another pick, Giving Chase, and I really liked it! I can't believe that it took me this long to read it, and it's actually my first book by Lauren Dane. It definitely won't be the last though, I've already picked up the second book in the series. :) Thanks again for the great picks - I'm not sure if I'll get through any others this month or not, but several more are definitely on my short list!

Ho..."

That's great! It was definitely a wild, confusing ride. I'm actually planning to read book 2 for some challenge this month. The reviews coming in have been fantastic!

[~Leslie~]

Amy J I have finally started my book and so far, I really like it!

I finished my first book really enjoyed this one. For a YA book not too "teenager-ish" which I appreciated. 4.5*'s for me. I'm planning on reading the second in the series next month.
I have started my second book

[Sandra]

Hi Shosho, I just finished my first book Cinder. It was based on Cinderella but with a twist so you don't really know what will happen. It was futuristic too. I rated it 4. Starting my second book some time next week. School is really getting on my nerves. Got lots of things to do. :(

[~Leslie~]

Amy J I just finished and I want to thank you for adding to my already huge list of series I want to continue reading! Loved it, loved the different take on vampires, loved the characters! I've never read this author before But I'm so excited to have discovered her now. Thanks for a great pick!!

I finished my second pick today. I read The Darkest Kiss and really enjoyed it. I loved the first book, so I don't know why I waited almost a year to continue the series. Thanks for giving me the push! I'm probably going to read Happy Ever After This month as well!

I do too, at least her dragon series. I've never tried her vampire series, but as I'm now out of dragon books I may have to.

Yay! I'm so glad you liked that one! That was also my first series by her and its also one of my all time favorites! Another good one from her is the Brown Siblings; whenever you get the chance you should look into that one too! I've re-read both series many times! Always happy to pass on great books / authors! :)

I found the first book really ehh as well, but I'm so glad ppl convinced me to try the second one because I did enjoy it and I just finished the 3rd one up last night - best one so far - I already have 4/5 on reserve at my library

[Joyce]

Hi Jojo, I finished my pick Covet. I loved it!!!! I am so glad I finally read it. I'm going to try to fit in my next one Shadow of Night

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Nancy, I finished my pick Real Men Last All Night (Lexi Steele, #1.5) this evening. I really enjoyed it, nice anthology. I'm sorry, I didn't notice until I finished that you said you might want to read that as a buddy read. If you decide to read it anyway, I would be happy to discuss it with you.

[Gea]

As Ab2y mentioned we finished our buddy read for and it was a nice quick read but a bit disappointing for me after all those good reviews.

I've just read and as it was fourth oldest book on my TBR I'm grateful I finally managed to read it

[Pollyanna]

Hey Dee, I finished last night and gave it 4 stars, it was a fun, easy read and I really liked the characters, looking forward to reading Jamie's story. Thanks for picking it.

[Macwolf01 [Elise]]

Photojim, finally finished , it was a fun read. I think I like this series better than Fool`s Gold

Thanks again for the picks

Thanks for the impetus to finally read . I finished yesterday and enjoyed it so much I'm halfway through the second in the series now."

Glad you enjoyed it Jim, I might have to get this book soon. Hope you enjoy the rest of Tempted too.

Finished my second book Faefever. Hated the ending. Threw the book across the room. Ack!! However thanks for the push to get it off my TBR pile. I have the next two in the series and probably won't wait so long to get back to it. Just started Who Do, Voodoo?

Did you read the prequel short story in ? It makes a difference for better understanding of the older brother's story. Really liked the series.

The Fool's Gold is good but has sort of jumped the shark at this point. The Bakery Sisters is a good one though. I like the youngest sister's story the best.

yeah the ending in Faefever is a doozy - i try to warn ppl about it before I recommend the series to them, because it is really one where when you get to that point, you just need to read the last 2 books to finish it up

lol - I totally forgot that you were the one that recommended this series to me!

I actually ended up reading the first THREE books in the Molly Harper series. Lots of fun. Really enjoyed the whole thing. As far as Tempted goes, a solid four star read. I don't give five stars on a first read and I rarely go back and re-read a book. But this one might make the short list.

[Dee]

Jim- Molly has a new contemp due out in December that I think you'll like - My Bluegrass Baby

[Christina]

Finished my second PIFM The Perfect Hope. Loved it.

Dee ~ I don't remember anyone saying anything about this when ifirst started reading/seeing how everyone liked this series ~ not necessarily in this group. Quite honestly all the men in this book seem to piss me off and Barrons seems to top the list at this point. I just think he is an a$$. I'll finish it but I have to take a small break. I will pick up the next book next month just can't do it now.

I don't know if they did here are not - I just know that if *I* recommend it, I make that known

[Nikki]

Just finished my second pick

I liked it a lot and it was a sweet and fun read! I need to read more from this author!

[Larissa]

Hi Sallie! I've just finished and adored it. Rated it 4 stars. I guess Georgina confused me with so many men on the line, so I couldn't really enjoy one of them specifically, but I loved Seth. Really refreshing, after all those dominant-like males I've been reading about recently. This book was on my TBR list for a really long time, so thanks for pushing me to this series, and I'll probably go for the next one now.

You mentioned this somewhere else recently. I will be reading this before the end of the year. That is for sure!

If it's the first Harper non-PNR then you missed a really good one with . I know it's not my turn to pick one for you but you should really remedy the situation.

[Dee]

i know, I have it in the pile! lol! soo many books, so little time!

[Rachel-RN]

Leslie-
I finished , it was an enjoyable read. Grace Burrows is becoming a must read author for me.

[ShoSho]

Brett
I finished it was great. Loved it I've had on my tbr list for more than a year.thanks for the nudge; )

I've finished and so far this month. I gave both 4 stars. They were really great recommendations.

that one hung out on my shelf for a while, until she came to chat with us in the Ask an Author corner - then I figured I should read the book...lol! I want to read more, but too many books, too little time!

I'm glad you liked it! I just started the fourth one in the series

[Bror (Abrar)]

I finished it was a great read , i gave it 4 stars , i wanted to give it 5 but books with multiple narrator and points of view annoy me .

And i read it just remind me of old Harlequin novelas (Oh he's rich - he's an old crush - she need money for a very noble cause - let's get married - oops we love each other) yup that's about it , so i gave it 3 stars .

Thanks Jim added that to my to-read. Also wow you can get through a series quickly, glad you are enjoying it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[Amy J.]

I finished listening to my third book today: It was a good read. Three solid stars. I'll be continuing this series. Thanks for another great recommendation.

[~Melissa~]

Finished my third book for the month . Kind of a slow start but interesting mystery and characters. The heroine's mother drove me nuts though with her never-ending need to try to get her daughter back with her ex husband. 3 stars

[Kristina Simon]

I finished my second PIFM book last night -- Would-Be Witch by Kimberly Frost. It was a cute, occasionally laugh-out-loud read. A perfect bit of light fluff. Thanks for the pick, Kami!
