Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments Hi Carol, for you I picked 3 for you to choose from Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows, #1) by Kim Harrison , The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth, #1) by Carrie Ryan or Masque of the Red Death (Masque of the Red Death, #1) by Bethany Griffin . I hope you enjoy them.


message 55: by Candice (new)

Candice (albers485) Molly, I picked the following three for you: Obsidian, Half-Blood, or Hush, Hush. You had so many great books, I wanted to choose ones that I had read. I've read all three of these, but I should probably warn you, you may find yourself pulled into wanting to read the entire series for whichever book you choose. Happy reading! :)

Nour (noursharif) Hush, hush is awesome. I totally recommend :)


message 58: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Amy Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister
Enjoy your books. I am excited to see what you choose.


message 59: by Nour (new)

Nour (noursharif) Hello, Rachel. Well, I've got to say that your list is sooooooo rich. It was so hard to pick for you (I actually made at first a list of at least 30 books from which I chose). Anyway, I picked three eventually.

Labyrinth Labyrinth (Languedoc, #1) by Kate Mosse because I am reading it right now and enjoying it very much
The time Traveler's wife The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger because that book was just perfect!
Snow white blood red Snow White Blood Red (The Grimm Diaries Prequels, #1) by Cameron Jace because I liked the pretty cover :P

I hope you like my suggestions :)

In addition to that, there are a few books like girl with the dragon tattoo, and dracula, the claiming of sleeping beauty, the chronicles of Narnia and frankenstein (etc...) that I am reading in the next month and since I saw them on your list, I was wondering if you want to buddy read them with me. Would that be nice?


message 60: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinpickell) | 1298 comments Arena, I picked these because I think they are good relaxing reads:
The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next #1) by Jasper Fforde , The Rook (The Checquy Files, #1) by Daniel O'Malley , Real Vampires Have Curves (Glory St. Clair, #1) by Gerry Bartlett , & Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody #1) by Elizabeth Peters .

Hope these are ok - R


Melody To The Harmony (keepitsimple68) | 14 comments Missy, I have three picks for you and I hope you will like at least one of them. :)

Rift (Nightshade Prequel, #1) by Andrea Cremer Scent of Magic (Healer, #2) by Maria V. Snyder A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) by George R.R. Martin

Becca (becca16) | 157 comments Hi Zara! I'll try to get your picks up when I'm on break from work today! I would do them now but I spent too much time with one of my other groups picks and now I have to get my butt to work!! Hopefully I'll get yours up in the next 5 hours or so! :)

Tracy (tracyface) Asma, I have a few picks for you to choose from:

Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) by Leigh Bardugo
This was the only one on your list that I've read, and I loved it. I have the second one just waiting to be read :-)

Slammed (Slammed, #1) by Colleen Hoover
I have heard great things about this series.

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
I've heard both good & not so good about this one, but I have been wanting to read all of Green's books ever since I read The Fault in Our Stars, which I LOVED.

So, I hope one of these will work for you! Happy Reading!

Becca (becca16) | 157 comments OK Zara! I have 3 picks for you! I was definitely intimidated by your TBR, especially since we seem to have similar taste and I don't want mine that big yet! Let me know if you want me to pick a few more for you later in the month!

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin This one is on my TBR right now too so I would be up for a buddy read if you wanted :)
The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1) by J.R.R. Tolkien It's a classic! Cannot beleive you haven't read these already!
Vision in White (Bride Quartet, #1) by Nora Roberts I love Nora Roberts and I LOVE this series! If you choose this I can read the last two with you when you get to them! :)

Let me know if you want any re-picks or just more picks! I am going to be stalking your shelves for hours and hours (after I finish moving next week)!!

Those are awesome choices Arena. I picked Embers from your TBR list because it looked interesting & I have been wanting to read Maisie Dobbs for years but always put it off - so many books! So, I will try to read both of them.

Please choose what you'd like - it's not worth it if you don't find something you want to read and enjoy it.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen one classic romance. A wonderful read.
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin heard it's an awesome book and makes a very interesting read.
or
Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare


message 86: by Zara's Retreat (new)

Zara's Retreat Hi Becca:

You have so many great books, I had a difficult time limiting my selection to just a few. I also had to resist adding yet more to my TBR list. lol

Here are your picks:
Light from Heaven by Christmas Carol Kauffman Light from Heaven (this is an absolute must read . I've read this book so many times it's unbelievable. I don't usually re-read books but this one just drew me to read it every time. A most awesome book);
Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards Chosen by a Horse (my daughter says this is an absolutely wonderful story. She's read it a couple of times herself);
A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare A Midsummer Night's Dream (this is a really funny play);
Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella Can You Keep a Secret? (this was the first book of Sophie Kinsella's that I read and I thoroughly loved it. It was so funny).

I hope you can find a book that you would like to read.

From your picks for me, I'm going to read A Game of Thrones. This book I think is also a buddy read I'm doing with someone else from another group. Plus I just seem to be on a 'read big book' kick at the moment. Don't know why. lol

Hi Tanya.

Thanks for the picks. I'm going to go with Wings.

Here are your picks:


[bookcover:The Elite|16248068]
Eclipse (Twilight, #3) by Stephenie Meyer
The Selection (The Selection, #1) by Kiera Cass

I hope you like one of these.


message 88: by Tanya (new)

Tanya (bookaholic22) | 99 comments Hey Leonie,
Thanks so much for your picks and I will read The Selection as I have not read the Elite by Keira Cass. If I cannot get hold of it, I will have to read New Moon first before I read Eclipse.


message 89: by Becca (new)

Becca (becca16) | 157 comments Let me know when you do game if thrones and maybe I'll do it with you if I have time too :) it'd help me get that off my list if I had some motivation haha :)

Karla | 35 comments For Alyssia, I chose between three books:

The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never, #1) by J.A. Redmerski Easy by Tammara Webber The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness

I hope you find a good read in one of them!

And out of your picks, I'll be going with Paper Towns by John Green . It's actually the only JG book I haven't read yet!

Melody To The Harmony (keepitsimple68) | 14 comments Leigh wrote: "Does everyone have a pick? Can someone pick for me?"

I didn't get my pick from Missy. And I'd love to pick something for you. :)

Partials (Partials, #1) by Dan Wells
It was the best book I've read this year so far and I absolutely loved it.
Poison Study (Study, #1) by Maria V. Snyder
Was another book I've read this year and loved it very much too. Maria is in my opinion a very talented author that can write very exciting books.
A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin
It's perfection. :)


message 95: by Mollie! (new)

Mollie! (martygee) I chose Poison Study for Candice. Can't link the book from my iPad app (useless) but Maria Snyder is thebomb.com!
