2014 January Pick-It-For-Me! Challenge
Picker: Daffodil

1. Lose Weight
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger -- I enjoyed the book even more than the movie.
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare -- You gave high marks to the first three books in The Mortal Instruments series, so this might be a good time to start her prequel series.

2. Get in Shape
It Had to Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips -- I've not read this series yet, but it is on my list.
Simply Irresistible by Rachel Gibson -- I've not read this series either, but I've seen it recommended a few times.

3. Save Money
The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole -- I've only read the first couple books in this series so far, but I distinctly remember Cole's Valkyries are extremely acquisitive. So I would say money is important.Finished: 26/1 Rating: ★★★
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen -- This is on your library-copy shelf (& many libraries would own a copy of this classic), so I'm assuming it is one you can borrow.

4. Eat Better
[boook: Spice & Wolf V.1] by Isuna Hasekura -- Holo is an harvest goddess, so I'm guessing food is important.
Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec -- A few of my friends have given this book high marks, but I haven't had a chance to track down a copy of it yet. I'm hoping I can read it sometime soon. In the meantime, maybe you can try it out and let me know what you think.

5. Travel
Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa -- I notice you've enjoyed a lot of Manga, which I know nothing about. For this category I used your books as a jumping off point and located a list titled Best Manga/Anime Book Ever. This is the #3 book on the list. Finished: 2/1 Rating: ★★★
Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba -- This is the #1 book on the same list.

6. Spend Time with Family and Friends
[boook: Lover Mine] by J.R. Ward -- If you're going to spend New Years with the Brothers ...
Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews -- One of my favorite series. I would definitely recommend starting this one soon.

7. Enjoy Life More
Touched by An Alien by Gini Koch -- Another of my favorite series. I love Koch's humor. I'm actually further into it, but you'll definitely want to start with book 1.
Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk -- You already had my most recent highly rated reads on your shelves, so I really had to hunt to come up with another new to you recommendation. Monk's concept of magic usage and the price it exacts in pain, illness or memory loss (Allie's particular weakness) makes for a very interesting world.

8. Get Organized
Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris -- This was added to your shelves in fall 2009 and you really enjoyed book 1, so I would recommend continuing the series.
Nightfall by L.J. Smith -- Another book added to your shelves in fall of 2009. I've not read this book, but I know it is the first in a popular YA series.
