No worries.. I'm home sick from work again, & I'm doing more sleeping and being sick than reading.

Hi Gigi-I love all the picks. I don't know which one to start first. I would like to read Gabriel's Inferno first.

Hey Breann,
Frog is a go in our lending group so I am going to scoop it up tomorrow. Do you want to read it with me in the next week or so?
Shell I hope you're feeling better soon.I enjoyed looking through your shelves. I had trouble limiting myself and ended up giving you 4 extra suggestions.
RED
by Lauren Dane -- While I've not read the Chase Brothers series, I have enjoyed some of Dane's other books. ORANGE
by Ilona Andrews -- Magic Rises, book 6 in the Kate Daniel's series, isn't coming out until July, so this might be the perfect time to read Andrea's story.YELLOW
by Toni Blake -- I really enjoyed this one.
by Gini Koch -- I love Gini Koch's humor and this series is a favorite.GREEN
by Lorelei James -- I've only read the first book in this series, but I know a lot of readers enjoy her books.
by Nalini Singh -- Honor & Dmitri's book is well worth reading.BLUE
by Anne Bishop -- This is a great follow up to the Black Jewels Trilogy. Not only do you get to find out about Janelle's healing after the final battle, it also includes a story featuring Marian & Lucivar and Saetan's story is hauntingly sad. INDIGO
by Patricia Briggs -- One of my favorite series, I'm counting the days until March 5 and the release of Frost Burned.
by Faith Hunter -- A dark series with vampires and shifters. This is another of my favorites.VIOLET
by Tere Michaels -- I've not read anything by this author, but you enjoyed the first two books in this series.RAINBOW
by Mary Calmes 
by Carol Lynne -- You gave the first book in this series 3 stars, but said you were interested in reading the next one.
@Valerie ~Varuca~: I plan to read Gambling Men: The Novel and A Reason To Believe, but I'm going to listen to Cut & Run for an audiobook challenge.I'll let you know when I am going to read the other two to see if it'll fit with you doing a buddy read, ok?

Is it OK if I join in, since you picked that one for me Fran?

Of course! I didn't want to pressure you, LOL! I asked you to buddy read like 10 different books with me this month- so glad you will be reading that one! I will set up thread. Is the first week in March ok with you?
Sure! I don't have a schedule. I am probably going to read several of the others too, especially the ones that fit in the monthly challenge and the M/M buddy read too! Once I finish my last book for the month (soon) then I will focus on March since I won't want to start anything else today.
GAH!!! This waiting around stinks (bottom lip out, pouting like a child)....lol!

Elke wrote: "GAH!!! This waiting around stinks (bottom lip out, pouting like a child)....lol!"So sorry! Maybe this will help - I just realized I am going to be at my grandson's first birthday party when repicks should be assigned, so I am going to move the deadline up a couple of hours to 10 am on March 2nd.

Wasn't that cute?! =)
Karen wrote: "I loved the corset diaries :D:D "Me too. I loved the behind the scenes of the reality show and the heroine seemed like someone who would be fun to hang out with.
Fran wrote: "Hey Breann,Frog is a go in our lending group so I am going to scoop it up tomorrow. Do you want to read it with me in the next week or so? "
I just saw this :) I'm going to request it tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get to it next week.
I am avail to do re-picks if needed :)
Tiffany, sign ups are closed for this month. If you are nervous, maybe it is best to just watch for March and see how it goes and participate in April if it looks like something you want to try.
Good Tiffany, I look forward to you playing with us is April. Fran, I think I am going to read Of Honor and Love tomorrow if you wanted to do a buddy read.
Great MK! I will start tomorrow :)

Your picks are awesome!! So worth the wait! ;)
I will definitely read
and
...the other ones come out late March and I might not be able to finish them in time. The "new" ones I will add to my ever growing TBR shelf!Thanks again!
Hey KarenH! I just finished up I Love You, Asshole!. I enjoyed it! 4 stars. More like 3.5 because I wish the Green's Hill stuff weren't separated into a million different series. I like reading things in order so I know what's going on, but these series just intermingle so much. Thanks for a great pick!

I like readin..."Glad you liked it! And I agree completely about reading things in order - I'm pretty obsessive about it myself. :D
Daffodil wrote: "ShoSho I started 
this morning."That's great daffodil, it's not Cat and Bones but still a fantastic book. Hope you like it
I just updated the list to show who has made their picks, if I missed you please let me know!! We still have a few people waiting on picks, I hope more come in before repicks.
MK, I don't want to put a wrench in things, but I'd be happy to do picks for Debra if it's ok. I know the misery of kids who hog computer time when they should be safely tucked away in school. Plus I used to sell Pampered Chef as well. I feel like I've found a kindred spirit :-)

But I do have a favor to ask - could you wait until tomorrow to put the picks up? I just don't think it is fair to those who signed up on time and have waited.
Bre, Thanks for the picks, I will get reading! Am I supposed to pick for you?
MountainKat wrote: "Penney wrote: "MK, I don't want to put a wrench in things, but I'd be happy to do picks for Debra if it's ok. I know the misery of kids who hog computer time when they should be safely tucked away..."Since I've been on that re-pick list more than once, I completely understand. First I'll make sure she's ok with it, then I'll wait to post till tomorrow. Thanks :)
Milly wrote: "Bre, Thanks for the picks, I will get reading! Am I supposed to pick for you?"
No Milly, you are supposed to make picks for Nadine. You pick for the person below you in the list. The picking rules are in message #3 on the first page of this thread.
