? picks for me

1. Porn Star by Laurelin Paige 2. The Bourbon Thief by Tiffany Reisz 3. Naked in Death (In Death, #1) by J.D. Robb 4. ..."


Shari Lee, this was a bit of a hard choice for me, but I'm going to go with Porn Star by Laurelin Paige and Opening Up (Ink & Chrome, #1) by Lauren Dane . Should you feel ambitious, I will also recommend Naked in Death (In Death, #1) by J.D. Robb , as there's a massive series buddy read going on right now, where we're about to start Imitation in Death (In Death, #17) by J.D. Robb , but the members are reading the books at their own pace. I'm sure you'd be welcome to join us, if you wanted to!

Also, I happen to have both of the books I picked for you, but have not read them yet. Give me a holler if you'd like to Buddy Read them for extra motivation to get them done!

Karen D | 111 comments Jayme:

I pick these for you:
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1) by Stephanie Perkins

The Great Gatsby is just a classic that everyone should read at least once! And then the other book seemed lighter, so that should balance out. Hope you enjoy them!

For Trea I pick:
Summer Wine (Tastes of Seduction, #1) by Jess Dee and Mortal Heart (His Fair Assassin, #3) by Robin LaFevers

Thanks, Kay! I also love Japanese lit. I haven't read much from this early 1900s period, really looking forward to it.

And I couldn't resist a book with a title like Asteroid Made of Dragons ;) Should be fun!

Hi VampAmber,

I thought it was interesting that we both had On Writing by Stephen King on our bookshelves. I had to choose that one for you to read this month! I also chose Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Although I haven't read the book, I thought the movie was very interesting. I can only imagine that the book will be better! Happy reading!

Water for Elephants was such an amazing book! I cried when I got to the last page simply because it was over!

Thanks for the picks. I've been dying to read On Writing (I already have it checked out from the library, and most likely would've read it soon if it hadn't been picked), especially because what little I've heard of his writing tips, I'm in love. I already do the one where you write something, then set it aside for a long time before going back and edit, though I never seem to make it the full year like he does. :( And as for Water For Elephants, I adored the movie. That was why I bought the book, all those years ago. And it's been setting on my bookshelf since, not being read. Poor baby.

I read Water for Elephants for book club. I had no interest in it and was going to skip it. Well I sucked it up and read it, and I LOVED IT!!! I cried like a little baby through the book and I am so happy I read it. That is what a book club is for; to expand your reading. If you love it, check out her latest At the Water's Edge. Also great.

Thank you! And, the Dresden Files are good and fun. If you can, opt for the audiobooks as James Marsters (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) reads them and does a marvelous job.
