2013 November Pick It For Me! Challenge

[Sassafrass]

Hi Pam!

Life got in the way so I didn't get to as many picks as I wanted but I did read

Slade and Unwrapped and they were both great. I'm hoping to get Dangerous Curves Ahead next month.

Shelby--

I just finished my fourth PIFM book this month, Born in Fire, and really liked it. . Thanks for the great pick. I liked all the lovely descriptions of the scenery and art that Roberts excels at, and loved the fiery romance. I'll definitely be reading the rest of this series at some point soon. Thanks!

[Debra]

Just finished another pick- Christmas Eve in Friday harbor by Lisa keplays love it I give it 4 starts ! It's sad though at beginning and then cute !!

[Elizabeth]

Kami,
I finished a second pick and I really enjoyed it! I couldn't put it down since I started reading.
I'll start tomorrow.
Thanks for the picks!

[Jaime]

Finished finally.. Pretty disappointed. Loved the first two books... The trilogy just didn't end great.. Oh well...

[Christina]

Jaime:

So what you're telling me is even though I liked the first two books (loved the first actually) I probably should just borrow from the library.

Probably.... I don't want to tell you what to do... But I finished and my first thought was "huh" and "what the heck was that?"

[Dee]

I was the same way with allegient

Hi Joyce, with all the holiday craziness at my house I forgot to come back to tell you I finished my fourth pick. I listened to Vengeance in Death and loved it! Thanks for the push to get back to the series! And thanks for all your picks this month!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Apilif - I finished just in time. Thanks for the rec.

[Suzanne]

I finished reading and it was just as great as the first one! I thought it was hysterical and gave it 5 stars. I will definatley be reading the next one!

[Shelby]

Hey Sassafrass I managed to squeeze one more in this month, Curio. Wanted to get a m/f book in there and this fit in with some of my other challenges. I'd give it 3.5 stars. I'm not a huge fan of porn/prostitute characters and I struggled to get into this book. But I actually really enjoyed where it was headed. I liked the changes that developed between these two characters. My full review is posted here if you want to see my full thoughts. :) Thanks for the great picks this month! I've got all the others just waiting for me to have a chance to get to them.

Glad you enjoyed this one! It's one of my all time favorites. I just love the glass blowing aspects of it. :)

The challenge is coming to an end soon! I hope you guys had fun, and hopefully all the bargain and last minute shopper got a chance to make a dent in their shopping list, while the planners are already up to planning the next event. I had a blast hosting the challenge, I will put up the stats tomorrow after the end of challenge. Happy reading!!

[Dee]

i'm going to miss finishing my 4th book by just over an hour in the audiobook - I think that should count right? haha!

Hi KarenH!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving :)

I finished my 5th pick last night, Acrobat. I think Breann' s review of the book summed it up best, LOL. I liked parts of it and thought parts of it were unnecessary, repetitive (waggling eyebrows), and unbelievable. But yet I did enjoy some of it (Dreo) and it held my interest. 3.5* from me. I can't wait to hear what you thought of it!

Thanks for all the great picks this month! I plan on reading a few more in December :)

another great challenge, Thank you Hina for hosting :)

[Fran, Moderator]

Thanks so much for hosting Hina!!


I ended up getting the Galaxy s4. I'm having fun playing with it, it's so different than the iPhone, it's going to take some getting used to. But so far I really like it. I was so torn in the store, between the s4 and the Note 3. But my teen boys pleaded with me not to get the huge phone, lol. And the s4 ended up being free with my iphone trade in, that that was a real plus :)

I think I am going to get the Note next time though.....only 2 years to wait....

Glad you liked your picks, Fran! I finished Acrobat this morning, and I pretty much agree with you (although I had to go back and read Breann's review before I commented). I gave it 4 stars, but it's a low 4...I liked the characters within the core group, could have done without some of the lesser characters, and I liked the plot but not always the execution of it. Like you, it kept my interest but it sure didn't leave me burning to run right out and read something else by the author...

We had a very nice Thanksgiving, but I'm so glad to be home and have things finally getting a little back to normal. I hope you had a good holiday weekend, too! :-)

I forgot to post, but I finished breathing room on Saturday and loved it!!!

[Daffodil]

I also finished . I really enjoyed the idea and characters, but I wanted a little more from the storyline. I'm definitely interested in reading Casper's story next.

[Isa]

Well done Daffodil!!

I did, too--Nora Roberts is so good at those fantasy elements (and I could dream of being an artist in Ireland). Thanks again.

Hi, Ty!

I forgot to add that I also finished Where'd You Go, Bernadette on 11/30. I just thought it was okay and gave it 2 stars. Thanks for motivating me to finish it in time!

Thanks again for all of the rec's!
