2013 November Pick It For Me! Challenge

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

Nadine, here are my picks for you. We have different tastes so I really wasn't sure which way to go so I stuck mainly with your shelf. You have so many books on your shelf that sounded good!

1. Foodie:
- Okay, this sounds hilarious!

2. Techie:
- Not on your shelf: futuristic thriller with a romantic bent.

3. Fashionista:
- Love the suit on this cover! Plus, the book sounds good.

4. Kiddies:
- Not on your list - sweet family story
- your list. Sounds like a good book.

5. Traveler:
- your list: Seems like a cool location.

6. Artistically Inclined:
- your list: What's not to love about this cover?!

7. Book Lover:
- your list: high ratings
- Your list: Billionaire novelist? Sounds great!

8. Stocking Stuffer:
- your list: sounds like a great holiday read.
- not on your list: sounds like a funny book. It's on my list so I hope to read it this year.

And I'm always happy to see new m/f books on the list for me. I know my shelves look super heavy m/m but if I ever manage to get all my physical rather than just my digital books updated on GR I've probably read more m/f than anything else. :D

I'm for sure going to go with Among the Living and Between Sinners and Saints, though I'm sure I'll fit a number more in as well! "

I'm glad you like your picks, Shelby. I can't wait to hear what you think about Between Sinners and Saints since it's one of my favorites.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Sandy

We don't have a ton in common on books, but you have a lot of options to choose from so I hope you like these picks as much as I did your's a couple months ago. :)

1. Foodie: Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts is my favorite book of this trilogy. Nell comes out of her shell to take her life back and fall in love while learning a few new skills. Of you can check out Fool for Love by Beth Ciotta which has a similar theme, but with a bit more humor, plus I just love the idea of how the cupcake club was started.



2. Techie: Both of these are sort of in the future and from your TBR. After Dark by Jayne Castle is in a future on a different planet where people have gained powers (and find dust bunny pets). Lydia has had a major career setback and is trying to work her way back to respectable/academic standards when she finds a dead body while meeting her new client. Or continue on in the In Death series with Holiday in Death by J.D. Robb and enjoy Eve and Roarke's holiday case.



3. Fashionista: The dress makes this cover - My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent and you seem to like YA, so hopefully you'll enjoy this take on banshees. Or check out this light and humorous romance about a klutzy model - Risky Business by Suzanne Macpherson.



4. Kiddies: You have some great choices on your TBR. Charming the Prince by Teresa Medeiros has a veritable brood of children that are overrunning the castle. Or Smitten by Janet Evanovich has a single mom desperate for a job seeking out nearby construction work.



5. Traveler: I had a difficult time remembering if books took place in multiple countries, so I went with Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips which is set in England and had a chance of visiting nearby countries, plus is a very interesting take on the Greek gods living in current times.



6. Artistically Inclined: The first features actors as the heroine heads to England to star in a reality show about life in historical times. I really enjoyed this story as it was humorous with heart. I really like this cover and think all young girls should read this after any Disney princess story to put things in a more realistic place. Princess Academy by Shannon Hale.



7. Book Lover: Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep is at a 4.0 and my favorite YA series right now. I love the mix of mythologies and the main character as she learns her place in this strange to her world. Or you can read historical where the heroine is a novelist in Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick. Evangeline is curious about the nearby manor and the rumors and she and Lucas discover a greater plot.



8. Stocking Stuffer: Fun take on one of Santa's hunky son's who is a baker in Sweet Inspirations by Penny Watson. Or check out this really good short story (that you rec'd to me) Love at First Date by Susan Hatler.

Debra,
These look great! Thank you so much. There are several on here that I want to read right away - the Pink Carnation one, the Just This Once one, as well as the J.D. Robb and Miranda Bliss ones. (I have already started the both those series, so I can read the next entry in each if I get that far.) In fact, a few minutes ago, I just downloaded the Grosvenor Square one onto my tablet, because I am traveling this week and needed some to take with me on my e-reader. I would love to do a BR for the Kleypas one, but I can't start it until about mid-month, if that is okay.

Thanks again for such great picks! I am going to see how many of them I can read this month because they all look good.
