I'm glad you enjoyed it, I did too. I believe there's a follow-up to their story Marrying Her

I read Sweet Little Lies and I loved it. I can't wait for the third books to come out next year, it's about Elle & Archer. "

:D So glad you enjoyed it! I've only read a few books in her Animal Magnetism series before joining GR but I loved them. I should look into reading more from her soon!

Nora,

I have two more read,

10/25/16
Loved this book!! I gave it 5 stars!! I also learned that HBO with the help of Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, Big Little Lies is going to become a mini series in Feb. 2017, and after filming that they got back together and also got the rights for Truly, Madly, Guilty! I am so excited!! I felt while reading this that there are a lot of smaller details that I thought the book could do without like I was thinking "is all this really necessary?" However, everything comes together at the end! So Great!

10/27/16
I enjoyed the first half of this book immensely, but after that it dragged a little bit for me. I am glad that I read it but it was pretty predictable.

I have a copy of but I probably won't have it read by tomorrow, and the end of this challenge.

[Kaity]

Hi Zorina :) I finished two more picks! Wish I had time for more but I'll definitely be keeping your new-to-me picks on my mental tbr for later since they all looked great.

Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning - :D Loved this story (except the parts about Mac's nails, outfit, hair...grrr). Thank you so much for suggesting it, I'm excited to know what happens next.

On the Edge by Ilona Andrews - Wonderful reread! It's been years since I've read this and I originally planned to jump in at book three. So glad I put the first on my tbr instead and got to enjoy it again.

Aneerah wrote: "Ezi - wow! Thank you for recommending Coincidence of Callie and Kayden! I loved it and onto the next book in the series, I just ended the book and bought the next one and started reading!"

I have to be honest. The subsequent books are the author trying her best to stretch out that angst. I didn't love them as much as book 1. But that book 1 is an alltime favorite. When I read that book, we had to wait almost a year for the sequel. It was horrible waiting through that cliff hanger

Here are your picks and thank you for your patience! I have tried to choose some from your shelves as well as some new to you, but if you don't see anything you like, please let me kno..."

Hi Nancy H,
Here is what I've tackled this month: ★★★½; ★★★★
I can't decide between or for my tomorrow listen, though I am leaning towards the latter since Lisa Kleypas is my favorite author.

I'll still read from this list next month because I bought 3 other books to read. Thanks for an awesome list of recommends

Anything but Minor ★★★★★
Lick ★★★★

- Just ok. Very drawn out and for a romantic suspense, there wasn't much suspense.

Glad you got to enjoy so many of your picks! Yeah I can imagine Nora Roberts book might annoy someone actually from Ireland. I loved the glass blowing elements of that story, but as Ireland is still on my bucket list of places I can't wait till I can go to I don't have that frame of reference. :)
