PIFM - Chat/Banter/Review Your January Read
I love how you picked Alloria for me in the sample, Janet :)
She can use any of the 1K+ books on my TBR list if she ever decides she wants to post my name in her example, even one I've already read, Perri.

Black Ice is off to a strong start-works for me. Been a real since I read Bosch. Melanie, don't forget to add my Die Trying vote to you list. I don't want Reacher coming after me ;)
I currently have a tie of 3 votes each for Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zooby Lawrence Anthony, Graham Spence, The Art of War
by Sun Tzu, Thomas Cleary (Translator) and The Sherlock Holmes Book
by DK Publishing.
@ Perri - I suppose you voted for Sunshine Hunter :-)@ Melanie
I need another week for your vote. Your have again such great books I really struggled to get down to three :-) Now the final decision will be between: The Face Of Deception / Die Trying & Three to Get Deadly
Into The Darkest Corner seems to be pulling ahead for me this month. It sounds very unnerving but I can't wait to read it!
Sorry I was late to post and vote. Busy month.
Happens to us all.Closing my list tomorrow. That way I have plenty of time to order. So far, it looks like I'm ordering THE SHERLOCK HOMES BOOK (6 votes, including Darkslyric) by DK Publishing and BABYLON'S ARK (3 votes).
Melanie, Melanie-DIe Trying from me! Jack Reacher and Lee Child! No contest. Oh, and Agneiszka, I think you should swing your vote that way too for the WIN!! :)

Looks like William Monk is going to be the winner for January, unless more people vote.

Oh, and Agneiszka, I think you should swing your vote that way too for the WIN!! :)"I love Jack Reacher - and Die Trying made it into the finals :-) though if I vote now for it there will be a tie so I'll wait some more days just in case ;-)
BTW: Why didn't you vote for Reacher - you are to blame if he won't win now ;-)

I DID vote for him, And if you do too there won't be a tie ;)
@ Darkslyric:When I've seen your list I thought easy choice - The Girl on the Train - cool I'm not the only one on this planet who didn't read it :-)
But than I thought wait a sec - check the other just in case. So the first eight were horror and I already thought right why did I waste the time no hidden gems and then came: Nobody’s Girl
And now I can't decide. Grrrrrr
Sorry I need some more time ;-)

Since your name is behind The Quiet Game I was convinced you voted for this one. In that case: Sorrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy
Since Darkslyric voted for Black Echo - my vote would still create a tie :-(

I've never looked twice at Penn Cage ;) And I see now that Melanie hasn't recorded Darklyric's vote yet.

I have only read one Reacher novel and I LOVE Bosch....read every one in the series I could get my hands on one summer..but not in order.

Thank you Agnieszka...I was wondering if maybe it was the opposite problem and you were thinking.."what horrible choices;)"
I will be excited to see your vote.

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Oh my goodness ladies! I have been busy and the Jack Reacher debate/voting has been very busy. Thank you for all of your opinions. Perri I think I have it all recorded correctly now!

I have her vote down for Die Trying.

And I'm still trying to learn mistakes are no disaster so it's good to make them so we can learn to be more patient with other people or ourselves - depending where your weakness is ;-)
Today is the last day anyone can cast a vote for my PIFM list.
Looks like my book will be Awakening by SJ Bolton. Excited as I've been itching for an excuse to read this one!

Chelsea wrote: "Looks like my book will be Awakening by SJ Bolton. Excited as I've been itching for an excuse to read this one!"I loved this one too, I think it was the first Sharon Bolton I read and I've read every other one since!
Really Mandy? That makes me even more excited to read it!

It was my first too and I loved it so much I wish for a sequel :-) - hope you don't mind snakes ;-)
Eek Agnieszka you've got me really excited to read it now!
When I get back on Saturday, I'll send requests through my library for my two winning books.
@ Melanie: I'm so sorry - but you have a tie now. Even if I'm a really big Evanovich fan - I still think or hope at least Die Trying is the book you'll enjoy most :-)@ Darkslyric: I voted for your book too - Nobody's Girls - even if I think The Girl on the Train will take the lead :-)
As for my books looks like it will be The Lake House Secret and I'm really looking forward to check this one out :-)
Mod
The Awakenings by Sharon Bolton.. great book
Merry Christmas to all of you and I hope you'll enjoy the holidays :-)
Merry Christmas! I started
which opens on Christmas day :)
Merry Christmas & a productive New Year.
Merry Christmas everybody. Hope you all have/had a wonderful day x
Don't forget! If you haven't voted there's still time, I don't make a final tally until first thing 1/1/16.
Agnieszka wrote: When I've seen your list I thought easy choice - The Girl on the Train - cool I'm not the only one on this planet who didn't read it :-) Lol - so many books and so little time. I see many books that everyone raves about and I add them to my list if it looks like something I might be interested in. The last book I read that everyone raved about was not so great in my opinion, nor my book pals opinion. Sorry to have to say that.
I am also really bad if the book is bad I will read it to the end no matter what, in hope it might just get better. I just can not quit a book once I have read the first page. It may sit on my nightstand all year but I will eventually get through it. As a writer myself I know the hard work that goes into every word in the book and I feel as the reader I have to give it a fighting chance.
With that all being said I officially close my PIFM book list for January 2016 with a landslide vote for:
I hadn't checked my results in a while. You know, the busy holiday season and all. Plus I had a tooth extracted a few days ago and the pain hasn't eased up at all. Anyway, I have a new leader thanks to Daisy and Dana!!

PLEASE NOTE:
PIFM is meant to be FUN and not to be taken seriously. I would appreciate it if all participants just chilled and not get worked up about voting, who votes, who doesn't, etc. Please bear in mind that some will just want to vote, many don't come on everyday and most of us have time constraints. I just want a relaxed approach to it all and for you all to just enjoy the process! I'd really appreciate your courtesy in this matter. Thanks.
