okay with you? :)"Hi Vendea. Cinder is fine with me but would you be able to pick something else as well please? I only ask this because when I've requested this book from my local library it's taken absolute weeks for it to come in (I was meant to read this book this month and I'm still waiting for it to come in!!).
I'll get your pick soon.
For Melody I have chosen the following to pick from.

Alright Joeera, I choose Hannibal and The Darkest Night. I'll link them when I am on a device that can do so.Hannibal
The Darkest Night
Hi VendeaHere are my picks for you. I hope you find one that you like.
1.
- this is an interesting but weird read. I liked it when I read it.2.
- this book had me in fits of laughter when I read it. I really thoroughly enjoyed it.3.
- my daughter read this and loved it.4.
- this book seems to keep following me around and 'calling' to me to read it. Have you ever felt 'stalked' by a book before? I think I'm going to have to read it one day to see why it's 'stalking' me. lol
I am going to go with before I fall! Thanks for the good choices. I will start this as soon as it gets to my house, just ordered it from amazon
Zara, Sure :)Except Cinder:
1)
- I absolutely love cats and this book looks really good2)

Hi Janis. If you still haven't heard from your partner within the next day I'd be happy to pick for you.
Sorry it's the 1st in Australia! I'll wait, thanks.
My partner hasn't chosen for me either. And I can't send her a message! :(

Thanks for the picks Zara. I'm gonna try for all of them. Though I was wondering, don't I have to read The Earl's Inconvenient Wife before I read Her Counterfeit Husband?

I thought you had read the first one in that series. Sorry. If you haven't then by all means read the first book. There's nothing worse than reading a series out of order. lol

as selected by Robin.Thanks Robin and thank you to everyone else who offered to pick for me!
Hey Zara, I finished reading
and really enjoyed it. Thank you for the pick.

I've nearly finished
. I'm really loving it. Dewey reminds me somewhat of our own ginger tom.
I finished Sanctum and I really liked it! It was imaginative and I liked Malachi/Lela and Lela's friendship with Nadia.
I finished
(thanks Robin, good choice). It was good, kind of like Hornblower meets the Dragons of Pern.

I am glad you enjoyed it Belinda. I am huge Hornblower fan myself :D. & you reminded me I need to catch up on that series (Temeraire, I mean), I think I am 2 behind.I just finished
& gave it 3 STARS. Sadly, I think I have petered out with this series and do not think I will continue should she release another one. Although I highly enjoy mysteries & the first few in the series were amazing, I am not a huge Hitchcock fan, so maybe that is why I didn't enjoy it. If you're a fan of Hitchcock, you might enjoy it though. The references and Hitchcockian feel to the book might be to your tastes.I did get
from the library, but am going to hold off on reading it for a bit. While trying to get into Dial H for Hitchcock, I cleansed my palate kinda with Betty Neels - after all, it's Christmas time and her short (only 9 Chapters!) stories usually revolve around Christmas time, so. Plus, I finally located an old favorite and bought it for myself on ebook for Christmas - shhh don't tell Santa ;D.Hope your Holidays are going well & will read the next book in a few days or so.
I just finished reading
I loved it. I can read this over and over again and still love it.
I finished Storm. This one was creative, but I didn't like the characters so much and some of the things in the book bothered me :/
Hey Zara, I finished
and I really liked it. Though I felt the whole falling in loved was quite rushed.
@Belinda -I just finished
, which I gave 4 STARS. I really enjoyed it, so thank you for choosing it for me.If you're interested in my thoughts, I actually tried to review it: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanx again - R.

Sorry i'am not interested in reading the host I keep forgetting to take it of my list. And the second book I still don't have a copy of it. If you wouldn't mind could you pick 2 more books please and could you pick them from my owned shelf that would be better.
