Cindy Rawlings | 217 comments Leigh wrote: "Bree wrote: "i'd like to join!"

Bree, I was asked to pick for you. I am picking Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth or Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by R.L. LaFevers . Both were fantastic reads, so I hope one is good for you. If you want me to pick something else, just let me know.


message 173: by Clare (new)

Clare dooley (claredooley) 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:)


message 174: by Bree (new)

Bree (bboett) | 3 comments Cindy I'd love to have you pick something! I'm still organizing what I love. I'll have my picks for you by tomorrow!

Hey Clare, sorry I'm late. I'm giving you the choice of Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer or Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1) by Susan Ee or Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver .

I read Cinder and liked it a lot. I haven't read the other two, but I also have them on my to-do list, so maybe we have similar tastes.


message 181: by Elise (new)

Elise (redentrapy) | 338 comments For Tanya I choose Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) by Kami Garcia or Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost .


message 182: by Doruntina (new)

Doruntina | 65 comments For Sheri: i have picked two books i loved :
Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare and Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews so you choose. For some reason, i think you will love Kate Daniels series, though, if you choose to read Magic Bites. Enjoy


message 183: by Clare (new)

Clare dooley (claredooley) 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


message 184: by Bee (new)

Alina, thanks for your great picks, I choose Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, #1) by Richelle Mead . I've already read The Summoning (Darkest Powers, #1) by Kelley Armstrong and I loved it, so if I'll have enough time I'll also read The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2) by Kelley Armstrong in January.

For you I choose The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner or Evermore (The Immortals, #1) by Alyson Noel or you can read both if you like. I haven't read any of them, but I have them on my to-read shelf, so I'd like to hear your opinion on either one =)

Camilla (cyqua) Nena wrote: "for Camilla i pick Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1) by L.M. Montgomery( one of my favorites), City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare or The Princess Bride  by William Goldman"

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 :)

message 192: by Sasha (new)

Sasha (wonderlustful_) | 28 comments For Deniece i choose either one of these:
- Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead
- Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) by Kristin Cashore
- Gone (Gone, #1) by Michael Grant

I looked through your bookself therefore pick 3 books for each genre you like; dystopian (Gone), magic (Graceling)and Vampires (Vampire Academy. I have read all of them and they're some of my favorite books :)

Well seeing as I will be reading the The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner already in January for another one of my groups, I'll pick Evermore (The Immortals, #1) by Alyson Noel as that was on my to-read shelf as well. :)


message 194: by Tanya (new)

My TBR shelf continues to grow after browsing througth this thread but it"s all good :)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
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.
