Oh, I liked both of those. Hope that you do, too!

[Pam]

Sandy--Here are your recommendations. Everything is from your TBR :)

Hot Tamales: Hot Cover Lord Perfect

Ghirardelli: I have read all of these and there are all tearjerkers in some way Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption We did as a schoolwide read two years ago. A classic YA Speak This one kept me awake at night Every Last One

Tootsie Pop: Both of these have been there a while. I don't think you need to read Rizzoli and Isles in order, especially if you watch the TV show Ice Cold or On the Edge I haven't read this one but I'm a big fan of her Magic series.

M&M's: Julia Quinn is my favorite historical author. Any series.

Skittles: I haven't read this author but the cover looks like it could also be a hot tamale Keeping Promise Rock

Peanut Butter Cups: Simply Irresistible I haven't read this one but I've read others from the series. This has been on my list and has been recommended to me several times.

Twix: You have quite a few second books Blood Bound a series that improves with each book or Rules of Attraction or Magic Study or The Apprentice in case you want to read Rizzolli and Isles in order

Laffy Taffy: These are two old books but both of them made me laugh out loud The Princess Bride or The World According to Garp

Good choices Gea-not sure what I'm going to read. I've read the Lindsey and the Garwood in my preGoodreads days. I'm thinking Playing for Keeps because this is the third time since December it has been recommended to me. Otherwise it will probably be something from the already owned but not yet read pile.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I have no idea what to pick as I have most of these on hand....think I put them in a stack & work my way through...lol. Thank u

[Shatan]

Again thanks for the lovely recs.

Awesome Sunday it is, for Devoured. I'm glad that you liked Down on London Road. I enjoyed Jo's story as well. It was nice to see how the other characters were doing as well. Joss & Braden's relationship really flourished.

Hi Inge,

I have a number of books I could choose from. I'm going to start with The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough and hopefully I'll get it early enough to be able to read it before the end of the month. I saw the movie of this many years ago so it will be interesting to see what the book is like.

Thank you for the picks - they will work great. I am not even sure where I'm gonna start yet and I am not gonna think about it until Monday. Tomorrow I am running in the SD RockNRoll Marathon (just doing the half) but still I am freaking out a bit and won't be back online until Monday. Although I will probably be reading in my hotel room tonight ;)
Thanks again! P
