message 209: by Diane ~Firefly~ (new)

Diane ~Firefly~ | 1511 comments Jamie

You've already read most of my favorite UF/PNR series, so I hope you find something that appeals to you in these picks.

Sweet and Gooey:
1. Chocolate Truffles - Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey is certainly not an exotic location (camping), but has a very wealthy author as the hero and is a lot of fun to read.

2. Ice Cream - Looks like MacRieve by Kresley Cole is available and seems to be one of your favorite series. Otherwise, check out Jennifer Crusie who is one of my comfort reads with Bet Me. Crusie is known for kooky characters/situations.

3. Jellybeans - The Corset Diaries by Katie MacAlister is a fun look at the past as you have the heroine starring in a reality TV show based on historical times.

Exclusively Yours (Kowalski Family, #1) by Shannon Stacey MacRieve (Immortals After Dark, #13) by Kresley Cole Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie The Corset Diaries by Katie MacAlister

Salty and Crunchy:
4. Potato Chips - Ok these are both first in series (even though one says book 2 - ignore it). From your TBR there is Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I love both the H/h in this book and the Dark Hunter mythos is interesting. Or you can check out Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells in which Sabine is a half vampire/half witch in a society where the two groups hate each other. And then she gets to deal with her grandmother.

5. Pretzels - To Die For by Linda Howard is a good suspenseful romance. The heroine is a bit flighty, but a good read. Or you could check out either of these paranormal mysteries (with romance): Opal Fire by Barbra Annino where Stacey learns some truths about her family after her business is set on fire. Or It Takes a Witch by Heather Blake has Darcy and her sister moving to their aunt's town which is just a little bit strange. The idea of crafters is very interesting.

6. Mixed Nuts - The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz has a lot of flashbacks as the narrative is different than anything else I've read as you follow Izzy and the rest of her PI family.

Night Pleasures (Dark-Hunter, #2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane, #1) by Jaye Wells To Die For (Blair Mallory, #1) by Linda Howard Opal Fire (A Stacy Justice Mystery, #1) by Barbra Annino It Takes a Witch (A Wishcraft Mystery, #1) by Heather Blake The Spellman Files (The Spellmans #1) by Lisa Lutz

Combination:
7. Trail Mix - Both of these books have a shifter in them. First up is The Accidental Werewolf by Dakota Cassidy. A cool premise that was a pretty good read. Next is Red Hot Fury by Kasey MacKenzie. I like the paranormal characters are a bit more obscure - furies, warhounds, etc.

8. Bacon Sundae - I find it a bit funny that both of these come from your TBR, but you don't seem to have read much or any historical romance and SciFi, so it seems to fit. Amanda Quick (AKA Jayne Ann Krentz and Jayne Castle) is my favorite romance writer so you should definitely check out the first book in the Arcane Society series with Second Sight. Otherwise, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a really good book and you can get it read before the movie comes out.

The Accidental Werewolf (Accidentally Friends, #1) by Dakota Cassidy Red Hot Fury (Shades of Fury, #1) by Kasey MacKenzie Second Sight (Arcane Society, #1) by Amanda Quick Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1) by Orson Scott Card

Chocolate truffles:

The Billionaire Next Door by J...."


Hi Jessica, thanks for the picks. I think I'm going to go with Blood Brothers (Sign of Seven, #1) by Nora Roberts

I'm so pleased that you like the picks I did for you. I wasn't really sure about a lot of them as they were of a very different genre from what I would read. You've made my day though.


message 213: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 4192 comments Fran! I really hope you find something that you like. If you need me to pick again let me know. We have a lot in common so I'm hoping some of the new picks work for you as well as those you had on your PIFM shelf. Enjoy!



Sweet and Gooey:
Chocolate Truffles –
Manacled in Monaco--isn't think where rich people go? Clearly I don't run in those circles. LOL
Paging Dr. Hot set in Miami, so you could be hobnobbing there for sure. And there's a spoiled character in there


Ice Cream – Friday Afternoon--this was a new read for me but I know that I'll visit it again. Great story, very realistic and I highly recommend it
The Locker Room--if you don't have the warm and fuzzies after reading this...you have a heart of stone...STONE I tell you!

Jellybeans – Three to Tango-- very cute m/m/f
Too Stupid to Live--I hear this one is good

Salty and Crunchy:
Potato Chips (betcha can’t eat just one!) –
Reflected in You
Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet


Pretzels – Run the Risk and Life Lessons are both great romantic suspense/mystery novels

Mixed Nuts – The Perfect Score
The Real Werewives of Vampire County

Combination:
Trail Mix –
Bunny and the Bear cute, funny and sexy
A Love Worth Biting For great new novel by a brand new author! I read the arc and though it was great. Comes out on 10/1/13


Bacon Sundae (don't knock it until you've tried it...) - I decided to go the UF route without any romance and recommend
Joe--this was absolutely fantastic. I couldn't put it down.
Hounded--such a great series, I was hooked from this first book. Atticus and his dog Oberon are great. If I can suggest it, audio is amazing on this.

hi, shelby.

Just For Now (Escape to New Zealand, #3) by Rosalind James Wicked Games (Games, #1) by Jill Myles Mine by Mary Calmes

Zara's Retreat | 932 comments Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "My picks for Zara.

Ok, please let me know if you want me to re-pick something. Of 3000+ books we only had 56 in common, so I guessed a lot.

Sweet and Gooey:
Chocolate Truffles –Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband (Daughters of the Glen, #1) by Melissa Mayhue and if I get time I'll try Etiquette & Espionage and then maybe The Viscount Who Loved Me

In case you were wondering I don't read paranormal books at all which is why you don't see any books like that in my lists. If there are any they've probably slipped in and I've not been aware of it. lol



message 216: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12271 comments Sassy!

Thanks so much for the great picks! I want to read a whole bunch of them! I am leaning towards Paging Dr. Hot by Sophia Knightly , Friday Afternoon by Sylvia Ryan , The Perfect Score by Beth Williamson (bowling!), Three to Tango by Chloe Cole . Hoping I can get to a few of these. The rest went on my tbr to definitely read another time :)


message 217: by Jaime (new)

Jaime Mccurley (jaimemccrl4) | 76 comments Thanks Diane.. I think I am going to start with Night Pleasures (Dark-Hunter, #2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon because I actually have that book on my pile. I had actually had my eye on The Accidental Werewolf (Accidentally Friends, #1) by Dakota Cassidy and Opal Fire (A Stacy Justice Mystery, #1) by Barbra Annino , I just wasn't sure. You know, I will probably end up reading all of the books on your list because I have no will power when it comes to books :)

Sweet and Gooey:

Chocolate Truffles:

Ice Cream: Giving Chase A book that is a comfort read for me.
Jellybeans: Melody Bright cover! :)

Potato Chips (betcha can’t eat just one!):
The Gamble The first book in a series that I love and is on your Tbr!
Pretzels: Twinsequences A book with a character who has a twisted personality
Mixed Nuts: Lovers Unmasked An anthology

Combination:
Trail Mix:
The Girl's Guide to (Man) HuntingA book where a significant portion of the story takes place outdoors
Bacon Sundae (don't knock it until you've tried it...): Ok, I had a hard time with this one since your tbr shelf had quite a variety of genres, so I chose Perfect Mate since you only had three zombie books! I actually really enjoyed this one too! (zombies aren't typically my thing...)

message 223: by Joyce (new)

Joyce (eternity21) | 739 comments Hi Apilif, Here are your picks, I hope your find something to enjoy.


Chocolate Truffles
From your TBR list- The Queen's Librarian- this looks like a hoot.

Ice Cream
From your TBR list -Under the Rushes I see Amy Lane is a favorite author of yours.

Jellybeans
from your TBR list Kamikaze Boys This has a bright cover and is in the LGBT genre

Potato Chips (betcha can’t eat just one!)-
From your TBR list -Not So Innocent This is the 2nd in the Shattered Glass series. You enjoyed the first one.

New To You - Naked in Death I see you have read many of Nora Roberts books and have enjoyed them and have not enjoyed them. This series is really good. Maybe give Nora Roberts alter ego a try. I know I prefer J.D. Robb to Nora Roberts maybe you will too.

Pretzels
New to You - The Eyre Affair I see you liked Jane Eyre as much as I did which is why I first picked this book up. I really enjoy the wacky and sometimes hard to follow story. The next books in the series are equally good.

Mixed Nuts
From your TBR list- Ghost from the book description and the reviews this has many flashbacks.

New to You -The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane This was such a good book. Interesting story about the witches during the witch trials and present day.

Trail Mix
New to You -The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon This book entirely takes place outside. I loved this book and I am not a Stephen King fan.

Bacon Sundae (don't knock it until you've tried it...)-
New to You - To Your Scattered Bodies Go This is way outside your comfort zone. It is Science Fiction but also has many different figures from all times of past history all put together in a single book or series.

Kamikaze Boys by Jay Bell The Queen's Librarian by Carole Cummings Ghost (Wolf's-own, #1) by Carole Cummings Under the Rushes by Amy Lane Naked in Death (In Death, #1) by J.D. Robb The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe The Last Grand Master (Champion of the Gods, #1) by Andrew Q. Gordon The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next #1) by Jasper Fforde Not So Innocent (Shattered Glass, #2) by Dani Alexander To Your Scattered Bodies Go (Riverworld, #1) by Philip José Farmer

Oh My what a great choice of books, the few I don't have on my list have been added to my list. Like it wasn't long enough. I think I'm going to start with Blood Trail (Victoria Nelson, #2) first but it is a hard choice.

Fi | 379 comments Joyce wrote: "Hi Apilif, Here are your picks, I hope your find something to enjoy."

Thanks for the great picks, Joyce. :) Don't know which yet, but I'm definitely reading a few. And even though I mostly read m/m now, a few of those non-m/m are making their way to my tbr. They just look too good to pass up. Thanks again! :)

Unfortunately Not So Innocent hasn't been published yet, but no worries, I have plenty to pick from. ;)


message 227: by Susan A (new)

Susan A | 2160 comments Laurala - - you did a great job!

I'm definitely going to read Rentboy and Love, Hypothetically.
I like to pick one new also, but I am having a hard time deciding between Glitterland and Welcome to Temptation. If the library has the J Crusie book, I'll go with that one. I'll post again.

Thanks so much for these great picks. I'm sure it was tough dealing with a different genre, and I appreciate the obvious effort you put into it.

Hope you enjoy this challenge enough to come back next month!

Oooh yay! More books is always fun, though looking at my personal challenge thread kinda makes me shudder. I am a glutton for punishment apparently. But I'm going to try to get through as many as I can.

I'm already planning on Red+Blue, Sixty Five Hours, and Lair of the Jaguar God for other challenges so they'll double beautifully. I want to fit in at least one of the MF books as well though. Yay! Is it October yet?

It Had to Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips – the heroine owns a football team
Ice Cream
Lover At Last by J R Ward – you.ve read the rest of this series hope this is as good
Sweet Dreams by Kristen Ashley – I Love this book. It’s not the first in the series but it doesn’t refer to it at all.

Becky
I hope you'll like what you're going to read! I liked Hard and fast more than the first book.
Actually, I have read the first 4 books of the Kowalski's and was considering to read #5 for a couple of weeks now! Maybe I'll get to it this month:)

Becca (ladybeccaboo) | 40 comments Hey Jojo,
You have a ton of books!!! I spent so much time going through your shelves, so hopefully I’ve got some good stuff for you. Fingers crossed!

Sweet and Gooey:

Chocolate Truffles: Recommend a book with a wealthy or spoiled character, or that is set in an exotic location or somewhere you might expect to rub elbows with the rich and famous.
The Grey Tier: A Dead Celeb Mystery by Michele Scott (your tbr) – rub elbows with dead celebs, spoiled pop star boss
- Beauty and the Feast by Julia Rachel Barrett (your tbr) - wealthy hero
- Just Ask by Mia Downing – exotic location

Ice Cream: Recommend a book by an author that is a favorite of your pickee, or a book that is a comfort read for you.
- Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec – one of my favorites! funny, quirky, light
- Easy by Tammara Webber – another of my favorites!

Jellybeans: Recommend a book with a bright, colorful cover, or an LGBT themed book.
- Stuck with You by Trish Jensen (tbr-wish-list shelf) – colorful cover
- Saddled by Delilah Devlin – LGBT theme
- Flesh by Kylie Scott – LGBT theme, ménage

- Iced by Karen Marie Moning (your tbr) – Fever series #6

Pretzels: Recommend a book with a confusing plot, a mystery, or a character who has a twisted personality or is misunderstood.

Mixed Nuts: Recommend a book with multiple timelines (flashbacks or time travel) or multiple storylines, or an anthology.
- I Think I Love You by Stephanie Bond (on tbr-wish-list shelf) – I haven’t read this, but from the description I think it has multiple storylines, maybe flashbacks?
- Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - flashbacks, time travel and SO GOOD

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 86 comments Tiff TowelsandHearts, here are my picks for you. I hope you like. I had a hard time figuring out what books to recommend that are 'new' to you because we have such different tastes and I didn't want to recommend something you have zero interest in.

Chocolate Truffles:
The Marriage Bargain - From your TBR and it has a wealthy character, plus it sounds good.

Trail Mix:
Wallbanger - This is on your TBR, plus I've heard great things about this one. It has a cat that apparently has entertained many who've read this one.

Pretzels:
Pushing the Limits - Your TBR, character seems to be misunderstood and there seems to be confusion in the story so I hope this one fits.

Potato Chips:
Rock Chick Revolution - Your TBR. This is next in a series you have read.
Naked in Death - First in one of my favorite series. I love it and hope you do, too!

Ice Cream:
Fire Inside - Your TBR, a favorite author of yours. Sounds really good!

Bacon Sunday:
Daughter of Smoke & Bone - Out of your comfort zone, I think. I really liked this one.
The Fault in Our Stars - One of my favorites.
