2012 December Pick It For Me! Challenge
LarissaI started
over the weekend. I'm enjoying it.
Hi Sandy, I finished my first pick,
over the weekend. Generally I enjoyed it, though it's not one of my favorites of the series. Thanks for helping me get it off my tbr. I'm still hoping to get in at least one more of your picks this month, but it all depends on the library.

lol - can you guys hold out 'til this weekend? if not i'm good to start, but I have like 4 other books in progress
Finished my buddy read of
with Fran and Skandia. It was a cute quick Survivor-ish read.

i like that...probably...lol! i'm trying to figure out where I can fit it in the big challenge that i do
I can wait. I've got some other BRs going on too. So whatever you want to do.
Sassy - any ideas where you can fit GC into SRC?
Just let me know when you guys are ready!And I am not asking about the other challenge, I just can't...
you know you want to! i got sassy addicted to it
Dee wrote: "you know you want to! i got sassy addicted to it"Like I said earlier "want to" isn't the issue. I may unplug my ears after the holidays, until then I am pretending to be deaf! =P

Don't do it, MK. Dee is like my crack dealer when it comes to challenges. She gave me a fervid because she knew I'd be back for more. Lol

I'm using it right now in task 20.8 option 1.
Juliet-- I just finished
and really enjoyed it. It was a bit different, with an Indiana Jones-type heroine and quite a bit of mystery and suspense, which I liked. Thanks for the great pick!

Maybe when I have time, you all will remember to tell me about it again... Because I am sure I won't remember! Painkillers wreak havoc on memory!!
Well Kat! Now I really wanna know! :)
Breann, it's The Seasonal Reading Challenge. I've looked at it a couple of times, but it intimidates me!
its like the challenge of all challenges - i've been doing it for a couple of years now, and sassy has been doing it for like a year

I never finish it, but it is fun trying to find books that fit the tasks and seeing how many points you can accumulate in one season. I just try and fit the books I read for this group into the tasks. I can usually find a place for everything. It's totally low pressure, go at your own pace and do what you can.
Ooohhhh well, I certainly don't need anymore challenges. I think I have plenty to choose from already! :)

Ok, MountainKatHere's what I've read so far:
--I wasn't too fond of Eva and her neediness in this one but they really pulled it out for me in the end.
--ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!! AMAZING!!!!right now I'm doing a BR with ~KarenH~ so I'll be getting back into the rest of this mountain shortly. Let me know about a BR for
if you want to do one!Here's what's still left to read:
--did you want to do a BR for this one???

Now I'm going to have to check the SRC!

hold off until March then - because that is when the next season starts - the challenge resets itself every 3 months - so the next iteration will run from March-May
5. Author Barefoot in the Sand You seem to enjoy Roxanne St. Claire novels, and I believe this is her newest one.I finished Barefoot in the Sand, it was a good read....typical romance. I gave it 3 stars. Now I am going to read Rapture by J.R. Ward.
Thanx Shell

I'm trying really hard to wait until next year to read this so I can use it for some of the yearly challenges after they reset, but you all are making it really hard! I CAN wait three more weeks, I know I can...

I've said that before and I'll say it again... All of them!

Maybe by March... I'm so weak!

I definitely want to do a buddy read of [book:Gone Country|13022025]! I think Dee was saying the end of the week?
And maybe we can read Holiday Kink later in the month too. I think we both want to join the Seduction and Snacks buddy read on the 15th though, so after that?
You are making it really hard to hold off reading On Dublin Street till the first of the year!!

KarenH ~ You can do it but Jan 1 you must start it,lol

I finished another pick yesterday, Sno Ho. I haven't decided yet how I feel about it, yet. It was funny, but I didn't think I was particularly impressed overall until I realized I was feeling the need to go to Amazon and pick up the next books in the series so I could find out what happens next! :D
@~KarenH~ and MoutainKat: you can hold off but when you get to it you are going to devour it, it's just that good. It's got I think 9,000+ kindle locations and I read it it in 1 day. I just couldn't stop reading it. It's just that good.@~KarenH~ SnoHO is one of those books that kinda sneak up on ya then, I'll probably wait to read that one in January.
made a thread for Gone Country - http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...i figured out where to put it in SRC, so as soon as I finish up my bingo books for this week - i'm good to go

Thanks, just let us know!
we wanna just say Friday-ish? if ppl want to start it sooner, i don't care - from what some ppl have said, its very addictive
That works for me and addictive is good!

If you ever want to read the next one I would be happy to read it with you :)
