   Thanks for the pick, Tracy. For you I've picked Shadow of Night. I haven't read it myself, but I read the first one this time last year and thought it was pretty good.

     Thanks Iris! I'm currently reading A Discovery of Witches for another group's TBR challenge, so as soon as I finish it, I'll just move right on to Shadow!

Below are two books for you to choose from. I like the sound of them myself so have added them to my ever expanding TBR list.
 Fiji: A Novel
 Fiji: A Novel A Chance for Charity
 A Chance for Charity
     I can't get back to the top & after finding my partner I haven't heard anything from her. Have I done something wrong? I hope she doesn't think I'm not participating:( Leigh what am I doing wrong?

     If you need anyone to pair with more than one partner I'm down for that. Anything I can do to help:) I'd like it if everyone who'd like to participate can & will. Let me know if anyone is unattached , entered late, or doesn't hear from their partner by the deadline. I'm always enchanted by another friend who enjoys reading as much as I do. So as I said anything I can do just ask:)

     Hey Rachel :) you weren't late I just am not so great w/ the threads I wanted to make sure I didn't miss you:)
      Hey Rachel :) you weren't late I just am not so great w/ the threads I wanted to make sure I didn't miss you:) For you I choose
1.American Gods-Neil Gaimen
2.Let the right one in-John Ajivide Lindquist
3.Beautiful Creatures-Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
I've read all 3 & loved them, American Gods stands alone. I really enjoyed it
Let the right one in- is a very different type of pn/pnr & I highly recommend reading it & then checking out the subtitled version of the movie( unless you speak German , which would be awesome cause I do:)
Beautiful Creatures is a complete series that even has an o.k. Novella included! I love it when the series is complete so I can just plow through!
I hope you enjoy which ever title you pick , I really liked them all. I can't wait to hear what you think:)
From your choices Im going to read the Lauren Oliver choice, possibly Cinder also! Thanks for responding & we'll be chatting :) happy reading- Clare

"Hi Nena, thanks, great choices! I'm currently reading City of Bones, and I would really love to read both Anne of Green Gables AND The Princess Bride, so I'll aim for both :)
For you, I noticed that you have Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on your TBR - if that means you haven't read the series at all, I absolutely have to choose that for you! :)
As backups, I've chosen Eon: Dragoneye Reborn or Incarceron for you - both of which I really enjoyed and are different in their respective genres than the normal kinds of books :)

 Know what I like best about this challenge - is seeing how different tastes and genres of books everyone has.

      I agree Suzanne. It also helps me read books that have been on my TBR list for a while and haven't gotten around to reading.
