~Melissa~ December FWYS List

I choose Preternatural Affairs for you! Short but not sweet!!!

[Zuzana]

Karla, I pick Stephanie Plum for you because it's one of the series on my tbr list, I like mystery genre and TBH I'm not that familiar with the rest (Have heard only of the Ruby Red before).

P.S. Thanks for picking Hercule Poirot for me. I love that series. :)

Thanks Theo!! It's been on my list a really long time.

[Dee]

Stephaine, I chose "The wolves of stone ridge" for you. I haven't read any of your books so I picked the smallest series so you can cross it off by the end of the year.

Wait, we usually have until the 20th to post our lists...I didn't check on the 14th cuz the thread doesn't usually open until the 15th...I'm so confused!"

Marla, the dates for posting your shelf can change from month to month based on what holidays are occurring and the schedule of the mod posting the challenge. You can't rely that it will be the same deadline from month to month.

Ezi sent out a group e-mail around the 16th, reminding everyone that the challenge was going on. You posted your shelf after pairs had been posted for about 3 hours, and you had an abundance of time before that to get it posted. Ezi will have final say on if you get in on re-picks or not, but from the way it is going right now, everyone is pretty well on the ball and re-picks may not be needed.

Sometimes, it takes checking on Goodreads daily if you're wanting to get in on timed challenges like this. I nearly missed it myself, as I didn't notice the thread until the 15th, and it had opened up on the 12th, going until the 18th. I'd make it a point to start looking for it around the 10th, that way I don't miss it again.

[Greta]

Thanks, Elizabeth!! I'm very excited for them!

[Kelby *TwistedCactusReads*]

Ezinwanyi-Boo Boo Kitty I choose Troubleshooter for you. Enjoy!!

Thanks, ♥KathyD♥! I'm excited to learn more about Oz from the original books. I've read a couple of Gregory Maguire's Wicked books, and I feel like I'd get more out of them with a better background in the original stories.

[☀Rachael☀]

Rachael's sad she has no picks :(

[⚜️XAR]

*Rachael* wrote: "Rachael's sad she has no picks :("

Rachael, Brianna still has until the 23rd to get your picks to you. If she doesn't do your picks by then, either Ezi or I will pick for you, and her non-participation will be noted.

Rest assured, you will get picks, you just need to be a little more patient and allow for the deadlines that Ezi posted.

[☀Rachael☀]

I'm about as patient as Ezi is! Lol!

[Brianna]

*Rachel*, I haven't read any of the series that you have chosen, but I pick The Haunted Guesthouse series. It seems very interesting. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series

[Brianna]

Joyce wrote: "Brianna I pick the Divergent Series for you. I loved the first book need to get back to the series."

Thank you Joyce. I've been putting this series off for awhile. It'll be nice to try to go ahead and finish it off.

Woot! No repicks needed this month! Great job all!

[Marla]

Yeah, I think besides working 2 jobs, I can't keep up with FWYS anymore. Good luck all, I'm gone.

[Kelby *TwistedCactusReads*]

First book from my series pick done! Only 5 more to go :)

~Melissa's~ December FWYS List

*Rachael* picks for me: Preternatural Affairs

*Rachael*
I finished two from this series - was just ok for me - I gave it 3♥'s
- now this one I really liked - maybe it was the mystery - not really sure what did it for me in this one but this one got 4♥'s. I listened to both of these and book 1 end of November. Could be I don't like the narrator. Next month I'm going to try reading one and see if I like it better that way. Thanks for the pick!!

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

Karen ♐ I finally finished the Samantha Sweet Series, and must thank you for getting me back on track with this series. I'd rate the whole series a solid 4.5 stars or higher. And the Woodcarver's Secret, that is kind of like an addendum to the series is a solid 5 stars. Thanks so much for such a fun month of enjoyable reading!

Debbie (Doc) - I finished The Thirteen Treasures series and I am so glad I finally finished them. They were really good, I only wish there were more of them- LOL.

[Karen ♐]

Camylle, thanks for picking Beautiful Bastard series for me. I finished and and they were both fantastic!

[Danielle Gypsy Soul]

Skye Blue,
Thanks for the picks! I actually got really lucky and they were both on sale for $1.99.

I finished and once I let myself get past the premise (which I hated - her letting him come and go for UNPROTECTED sex whenever he felt like it without even getting his name but wanting more) I enjoyed it. I always enjoy her writing.

I also finished which I liked even better. I have read a couple of Chaos books so it was fun to read about Tyra and Tack.

Thanks for the picks

[~Melissa~]

@Danielle - yeah - most readers have an issue with Gwen and the whole 18 month unprotected sex with unknown male....only in fiction could this possibly be 'real'
