SQUEEEEE So many goodies. Did you see? Corrrupt! The Affiliate, A Court of Mist and Fury, The Iron King, The Curse of the Tenth Grave, The Bandit, Etched in Bone...

I'm so..."

I KNOW!!! I looked at Niki's list and thought... thank God, I didn't have to pick for her... LOL!

[Robin]

Ela, since you're already reading TMIL, I'm picking Hausfrau!

Is it bad that the books I mentioned are either dark or fantasy? I'd be hard torn between The Iron King, The Bandit, and Corrupt. :)

[Niki]

Thanks for the nice welcome and for letting me join in the fun!!! This is a great idea since i have so many books to read!!! Thanks Fabi and Grey!!!

I've been following Maryse's blog ever since 2011 I think...and I like to think of Tessa as my book twin since we have pretty similar taste :)

[Tessa]

:D I noticed that when you friended me. However, to see that list... *swoons* I wish I could re-read all those for the first time again.

From Rags it is and don't let the low rating full you it's really just glamour

Also, I love this author's PNR series....

[Leslie]

So EXCITED I got Nay because I get to pick Rush for her to read!!! Yippee!!!

Perfect pick...and I think that leads into Preppy too, right? And I want to read that too. Fun fun fun!!!!!

[Leslie]

Jean, I love that what you picked for me (53 Letters for My Lover) is one of YOUR faves!!!

[Nay]

Yay, Leslie! Thank youuuuu!!!! I finally get to find out what all the fuss is about!

Now I need to get caught up and look to see what Anna's going to read...

[Jean]

Yes Leslie! I hope it becomes one of your favs too!

[Grey]

In Niki's honor, I went through her favorites shelf and added another to my pick-for-me shelf. Obsidian by Jennifer Armentrout.

Not sure if you heard the story, Niki...but I'm totally cheating and combining challenges this year. The 5 star favorites challenge and the monthly pick for me challenge for me are the same shelf. What I did was go through and picked one 5 star favorite from each of all of you for my pick-for-me shelf. Pretty brilliant right? I do plan to read all of these books by the end of the year, so knowing that they are winners to each of you seemed like a no-brainer to me!

[Grey]

Nay, see my post in the freebie thread! Emma Scott has Rush listed for free for the next day or two. I snagged it to read, too.

[Nay]

Niki--I just sent you a friend request. I meant to put a note on it, by since I'm Ms. Clickety Clickerson, I clicked before I remembered to put the message!

[Nay]

I saw, Grey--thanks! I've got KU, but I still click on those books when they're free because I know sometimes authors take them off. I've gotten burned a few times in the past when I've gone back to check out a KU book for free, and it wasn't KU anymore.

OK, since I haven't seen Anna around today, I've been getting caught up on the posts I missed, but I'm really going to pick her book now. BRB...

[Tessa]

Grey, you know that Amy will be screaming with joy over Obsidian right? I am too right now. That's... that's...

Seth is mine, K? Aidan is Amy's. Seth is in a heated fight with Mason type mine, and Aidan is Amy's Mason. :D

[Nay]

My pick for Anna, because DUH!

It Ends with Us

[Jean]

I love everyone's picks so far!

[Tessa]

I did the same as Grey. So many goodies, but I picked the one I wanted to read most, Daughter of the Blood by Anne Bishop.

[Jan]

I'm late to the party since this is only morning here. This is gonna be fun.

Grey wrote: "Ooooh, I get to pick for Lisa.... *shit* I have to pick for Lisa... I'm scared. I was a shitty book picker last time..."

Nooo Grey, you weren't a s****y book picker. I just put a book on my list I was recced and took and chance on it and I turned out not to like it. It happens, sistah!

But now, My sweet Grey, NOW I GET TO PICK YOUR BOOK. Oh the sweet irony. Haha. Let me look at your list then I'll get back to you.

Thankyou Paula. I was kinda looking for an excuse to try that one cos I'm on a bit of a Katy Regnery kick at the moment (with her CRs). I do like a good pnr/shifter tale, so we will see!

[Jan]

Ha Grey. You're so easy. I've only read 2 of your books, Carter Reed (which I only 2-starred) and THE TURNING POINT which as we all know I FLOVED. So, da-da, my pick is THE TURNING POINT. And it's a marmee book, I guess, but I still loved it, even though I'm not into marmees. It's so beautiful. The writing style is a bit different till you get used to it (the writer is English) but you have to hang in there cos it's a beautiful story of true, real, deep love. And the end OH MY GOD. So beautifully written. One of those books you never forget. One of my rare 5 star reads.

I hope you like it too :)

[Jan]

Hey Niki I sent you a friend request :)

[Robin]

Jan I have that one on my TBR too! I bought the hardcover after seeing you talk about it with Amy!

[Jan]

:D

Wow! This is a blast from the past! I know I used to have it on my tbr because I considered reading it 4-5 years ago when I got it free from Amazon and all my book friends were reading it, but when I looked, it wasn't on any of my shelves. I'm also going to try one of her pnr series...finally... click, clickety, click! lol

[Jan]

My pleasure Grey :D

[Niki]

I am Ela!!! But I am waiting for the library version....so I will skim the first one while I wait!

[Niki]

Grey, I really need to update that list!!! Great pick though!!! I could reread that book all the time..Amy wil be happy with your pick!!

Thanks for all the kind words and friend requests ladies!! Mwah!!!

Michelle, Robin, did ya'll know Anna is nearby?

We all REALLY need to meet!!!"

Sorry I'm late Fabi. My Pick for you is Go to the courtyard!

[Anna]

Renee wrote: "My pick for Anna, because DUH!

Good choice. I'm in the mood for a book to make me cry. I think this one will.

[Leslie]

Some of my faves are being read this month ! Woot woot

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

Mucho thanks Anna. I'm looking forward to it!

Cool beans...BR

Edit: I'm actually going to put this one on hold for now since I'm not liking the turn it's taking....

[Ela]

So I should probably get Hausfrau over and done with, huh? Notice the enthusiasm 🙄😒😕🙁

[Nay]

Ela--why do you even have Hausfrau on your PFM list?? lol

[Ela]

Because I really want to read it but that title scares me!

[Lisa]

I finished my Pick for Me - King by TM Frazier (selected by Grey). I looooved this book. A 4.5 for me, which I rounded up to 5...because Pancakes! And, of course, I immediately dove into the rest of them. I also finished Tyrant and am working on Lawless/Soulless. Then I will read Preppy's books because Preppy is the best character I've read in a long time.
