message 121: by Mei (new)

Mei (meijey) | 3810 comments My partner and I have different tastes. From the looks of the covers, my guess is that they are paranormal & urban or gothic books and I was right. While I love romance and I have books shelved for paranormal (particularly werewolves, angels, and all that stuff) books, I haven't read one. I only added it because I wanted to try, so I added a little paranormal in this challenge for me to see. This is really difficult so the others are random picks!

Here's the list for Kaitlin:

1. The Probability of Miracles - I have this on my shelf, too! I wanna see what you think of it before I read it.
2. Bloodrose - I saw that this series is marked #3 so I'm thinking you might be inching to continue the series so I placed it here.
3. The Deepest Cut - I don't know what this book is but I see a lot of good reviews and ratings. Random pick!
4. What Kills Me - the book has been in her shelf since last year and I was amazed by its rating here in goodreads! :)
5. Fever - again, a #2 of the series. She might be inching to continue the series, too.
6. Wait for You - I'm a big fan of Contemporary & Realistic fiction (which explains why I don't have that much of paranormal) so I chose this. Plus, NEW ADULT & ROMANCE! <3
7. Shatter Me - I have this on my shelf, too! maybe we can buddy read it together :)
8. The Catastrophic History of You and Me - the cover is awesome! And one of the few standalones in her shelf :)
9. Eternal Starling - random pick
10. A Demon Made Me Do It - awesome cover!

You just totally saved me packing room! I'm going to Horror Hound Weekend and four of the first five books are on my nook. The ride is like 5-6 hours so I should not out a good 3-4 this weekend. I'll probably bring my nook with me to the convention to read while I wait in the three hour line to meet Norman Reedus. I'm starting Delirium right now. I got it 99 cents on my nook.

My nook is not letting me access Darker Still (Magic Most Foul, #1) by Leanna Renee Hieber or My Soul to Take (Soul Screamers, #1) by Rachel Vincent . Darker Still is my next book to read. I will not be able to get a copy of either of these books before the challenge is over.
