Pick For Me challenge
Michelle, guess what Grey has on her list...
omg, bev, you always make me laugh!!!
Mod
ME!!!! *rubs hands together with glee*
This was hard for me actually... but, I had to do it! Night Owl, by M. Pierce

You have a certain book on your list that is honestly one of my all time favorites.
But...iit doesn't really match any of the other books on your list.
and...I remember not too long ago, everybody saying "Robin, Robin, read Surviving Raine, we loved it and it's one of Fabi's all-time favorites. So...Robin, trusting soul that she is...dives into Surviving Raine. !!! Once she resurfaces, her reaction to the H is "I WISH A SHARK WOULD HAVE EATEN HIM"
so, ummm, as much as I'd like to pick my all-time fav on your list, you must realize that I'm a little (A LOT) hesitant. I'm not really sure it's "your thing". Plus, I think all the books on your list are my favorites in one way or another. So...we need to talk...."
Fabi! I trust you girl!!!
Extrapolate away!
oh Jan, you lucky lucky girl!
I may have to revise my list for next month. I love so many books on all of the lists that I want to add them to my list. There's 15 of us, so if I pick just one book out of everyone's list, then I still have 5 spots to pick at random.Oh my god, why is this so much fun?
Thanks Renee! I love learning something new and that is in my face!
Ela, Are you good with adding the book cover? Michelle, I am not a KA fan. I have read two of hers (Knight & Rock Chick) and disliked them and have DNF'd The Gamble. I desperately want to like KA though so I want to try Heaven & Hell and Motorcycle Man as I've been told those are faves.
I suspect it probably won't be my thing, but I will give it an honest shot.
Wicked funny about Robin and Surviving Raine! (I really liked that one!)
Why am I seeing big words like ominous and extrapolate?
Extrapolate??? What does that even mean?Enough with the big words already!!!

Yup! Got it! *gasp* not a KA fan? Are you sure you have the right books and author? Surely that can't be right? Oh and I wouldn't base KA on the Rock Chick series...
I kinda agree with Robin and Raine....I lied in my rating! And then when I saw who Shey has representing him I almost gagged, even saw him in person at Maryses Book Bash....no just ick no!

Michelle, I need your help.
I just saw, Fabi. Two awesome books are there glaring at me on hers.
I know Tessa! But her whole list is awesome.
Mod
Well, don't I feel stupid. I haven't narrowed it down to two yet.
Grey, 1. do you read/like m/m romance?
2. do you read/like dark themes?
3. do you read/like bdsm themes?
Renee wrote: "JEEAAANNN!!!"OMG! you guys are so much fun!!!

Fabi, you are cracking me up.
You totally need to open a book dating service.

Alright, I've eliminated 1 out of Grey's list. Down to 19. *phew*Grey, are you in the mood to have your heart ripped out or just mauled a bit? Adult or NA?
Tessa?! Are you really interested in reading Game of Thrones? Love that book.

I didn't cry much, but I always cry. It has some emotional moments, some intense moments, but it isn't a snot fest like TMIL is!

and...I remember not too long..."
I love you though, does that count?

Thanks Tessa! I'm on it!

hmmm, now see? I don't remember crying during TMIL. I DO remember being so distraught that I kept having to leave it and come back to it after I'd calmed down.
Lisa, I'm going with Comfort Food because it was on my TBR too for a while! IDK why it isnt anymore! I need to add it back. It sounds really good.
