Thanks, Liz. How did you happen to select this one? It's not on my to-read list and actually, I!d not heard of it"I love Elizabeth Gilbert, so I'll read the Signature of all things!! I recommend Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman for you! "
"this London love" by Clare Lydon...was very entertaining,good dialogue btween all the characters,very good writing by the author,hilarious at times,love the feelings n love shown btween the 2 main characters(Kate/Meg)and love the authors perspective on the family dynamic in the story,always been a huge fan of this author and she has done a fantastic job w/ this book,kudos to her...

I'm partial to that book and want more people to read it. I was in a bad relationship when I read it and really opened my eyes to a lot of things about myself. I like the author too, seems genuine and passionate. I can pick another if you prefer?
I am paired with Heather. There are many books on your 'to read' list that I have read, that is was fairly simple to choose something for you. I've made two selections, both of which should be readily available at your local library and I have read and enjoyed them both. Hope you can get one you like:The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough or/and
The Templar Legacy by Cotton Malone
Happy reading.

Hi this is my first time. I got paired with Geri and I admit to never having heard of any of the books on the TBR so after some searching I decided to go with Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan
Hi Dana, I was paired with you & hope you enjoy!
The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty
Dana, I am waiting for you to post mine, please?
Tana wrote: "Ok Liz I found one I would love for you to read and tell me all about it, I even added it to my list to read.
Consumed by S.E. Grayson"Hi Tana ,
I have finished reading "Consumed" by S.E Grayson and here is what I thought of it:
"Consumed" found it's way to my TBR list because I had come across the author's work on Wattpad, a 3 part series (if I remember correctly) called "The Bones of the Demon King" and it was really really good!
"Consumed" was a fast paced book with clever twists and "whodunnit".
In Consumed, much like in The Bones of the Demon King, you'll keep guessing until the very end who the killer is as the author keeps giving new little hints and clues, throwing the reader off track.
There were slight problems with Consumed- some grammar errors, few repeating facts (in the beginning only) and the writing came off slightly robotic. But overall- well worth a read!

Unless I missed it earlier, I have not received an assignment yet. Thanks for checking in!

Ben pick for Lisa and she will pick for you.
Alright! Lisa, I recommend Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. I've heard the Mortal Instruments series is really good and I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks, Ben! I have read the Mortal Instruments series and very much enjoyed them! I will dive into Clockwork Angel now. :)For you, I choose Wool by Hugh Howey. I have heard it is really good and would like to know how you like it! Enjoy!
Mod

I don't know any of the books on the Sept 2015 pick it for me list and the other link didn't work for me. I just went with your oldest book on the Sept 2015 pif list - little girls lost
I hope its good!
I tried on my home computer and got the link to work - how about A Land of Ash? Once again, same logic, since I don't know any of the books you picked.
I am paired with Greg and picked Horseclans book #1 by Robert Adams for him. I didn't realize that we shared it here, so I sent him a message earlier. I'm waiting on his pick for me.
Liz--I'll read both A Land of Ash (Yellowstone Supervolcano anthology), and Little Girls Lost (mystery/thriller). Hugs and thanks for all the extra effort you went to!!Here's my reviews:

Hi Leigh,The person that I was a partner too just sent me a private message that she cannot do this challenge & I would still like to if you have anyone else without a partner, I am still ready to be someone's buddy.
Thanks!
If I were picking, Jane, I'd give you 
Rock with Wings by Tony's daughter Anne.
I've read a number of the Leaphorn and Chee books that her father wrote, but clearly not as many as you.
I haven't gotten a book picked for me yet :(
Eve, I'm in same boat as you, no picks for me either.
