LOL...Breann, I got it from MountainKat and MoutainKat said she got it from someone else...But I am sure whoever it was won't mind.

Great update Hina! Thanks :)

(I use the collage in my final updates of the FAC - not sure who I stole that from but it wasn't my idea either. It's been floating around for a long while - so steal away Breann!)

Ezinwanyi~Mord'Sith! Sorry it took me so long to get around to posting but school and work have been crazy!! This month I've only finished one of the picks so far, The Raven Boys. It was so good!! I gave it 5 stars! I loved that it wasn't the usual supernatural stuff that's been plaguing the bookstores lately! I've also at least started Change of Heart. I haven't gotten very far in it because of class and work (I've been doing most of my reading through audiobooks at work) but when I have read it I haven't been able to put it down! The intro and then first chapter alone had me with so many emotions running through me that I had to take a step back and remember the characters weren't real! As long as the rest of the book keeps it up I have a feeling it will be another 5!! Thanks for the great picks! I added all the others to my TBR if they weren't already because they all look good! I just need to not have so much reading for school so I can enjoy more stuff!

Finally got my first pick done. School has kept me from reading anything fun. . It was ok. It was hard to concentrate on it, but it might have been because of all my school work.

I figure when two people pick the same book in the same month for me, I really ought to read it. So when both Kristi and Jim picked Rapture In Death. J.D. Robb for me, I decided it was time to get back to this series. I finished it last night and, of course, loved it! Thanks for the push to read it!!

I am also reading Wrangled and Tangled, picked by Jim, and should finish this weekend. I don't think I am going to get to any others though.

I finished 2 more picks this week, A Slice of Love which I really enjoyed, and Cowboy Casanova which was just ok, but I'd been putting it off forever and I'm glad to get it off my TBR. Thanks for the wonderful picks this month, Regina - I ended up reading 6, and would have read more if I hadn't run out of month! :D

Hi Ab2y

I only managed to get through Rode Hard, Put Up Wet which I didn't enjoy so much. I'm hoping I'll still have time to get to Falling for the Ghost of You before the end of the month.

[Nichole]

Jane(PS), I finished my 3rd pick . I can relate to Quinn, being pretty tall myself at 5'10 and awkwardly shy, though I'm not nearly as hard on myself as he is. It was a very sweet book.
I won't be able to finish anymore this month. I will have company all weekend and a stack of library books to return soon, but I plan on reading...
for future challenges. Thank you for the picks!

[Gigi]

Zara,

I just finished The Sheik. It was good!

Thank you!

Thanks again! I usually only read one pick so that is proof that you did a great job. ;)

I finished my fourth pick today Wrangled and Tangled by Lorelei James. I don't think I am going to finish any more picks this month. Thanks Kristi and Jim for the great picks this month!

Glad you found some you liked, MK!

One more day left to finish your reads!! I hope you guys had fun and got to read some great books and enjoyed yourself as much as I enjoyed hosting!!

[Nancy H]

Arena,
I was reviewing YA stuff and just now finished two of your picks for me: Even Money and The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree. Both were very good and I wish I had had more time to read more of your picks for me. I will definitely be reading them but not in April since it is almost over!
Thanks again for the great picks!

Yay! I had a heap of fun picking for you and seeing what you had on your shelves (as I did with Nichole as well)! I'm sure you'll love your picks for May as well ;)

I'm just sorry I wasn't able to read Quinn's Hart... It turns out I'm not much for M/M. :'(
