Pick For Me Challenge - May 2017

[Lisa]

Ela - if you want someone to read Hausfrau with you, I chose it as my pick off of Robin's 5 star list for the month. I plan on finishing Lawless/Soulless, but I can start whenevah!!

[Ela]

You are just a peach! Yes, that would be much appreciated! Perhaps tomorrow or Wednesday?

Let's go with Wednesday if you don't mind waiting until then. This is gonna be so much Ela-y fun!!!

[Ela]

Wednesday it is! I'll create a spoiler thread because I'm pretty sure this one needs it!

Lisa, yes!! Preppy!

[Jean]

I would join you on the Hausfrau BR, but the new Mia Asher book comes out on Wednesday!

[Ela]

Well Jean, we all make sacrifices! The new Amy Harmon comes out tomorrow and WE ALL KNOW I'D RATHER BE READING THE QUEEN AND THE CURE but alas I shall need something great if Hausfrau destroys me.

[Ela]

AND YES THE NEW MIA ASHER....PLEASE BE CLOSE TO ARSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh hells, that looks amazing, Jean. I can see why you'd want to read that the minute it comes out!! If you change your mind, you'll know where to find us - hiding in the Hausfrau corner, rocking back and forth to soothe our torn souls!!

[Nay]

Jean wrote: "I would join you on the Hausfrau BR, but the new Mia Asher book comes out on Wednesday!"

I'm ALL over that! I didn't realize it was already time for it -- SQUEE!!!

[Nay]

I have read SO many CRAPPILY written books lately that I'm ready for some good reading! If I hadn't gotten these books for free with KU, I'd be PISSED!

Just remember, we'll be enjoying this gem along with The Queen while Jean will be alone with Hausfrau!

Shit! I forgot about The Queen and the Cure!

That would be amazing!

[Jean]

By the way girls, I'm at the very end of Convicted.......

[Nay]

Shoot Fabi, you're making me want to squirrel from the new Mia Asher book......

Revealed - The Missing Years comes next, right? You gonna do it and Beyond The Consequences?

[Jean]

I don't know if I will read Revealed.....it definitely won't be right away. I need a break from these two assholes!! Haha!!

And, there's so many new books calling my name!

[Nay]

Gaaahhh! That puts off the M. Asher book for even longer if I do Hausfrau. But...I've been thinking that I may want to see the reviews of M. Asher's book first. A few bloggers who may not be fangirls gave it 3 stars--said it wasn't very angsty--and one person called it 'sweet'. Which is fine, but I wanted angsty and NOT sweet. I know I shouldn't base my expectations on her other very angsty and not-sweet book, but I can't help it!

[Nay]

Jean--I'm so jealous! I want to finish that series, but I just can't commit! I've only read the first two, but I'm definitely going to finish it, especially with the way everyone raves about it!

I didn't realize The Queen and the Cure was coming out so soon! Fabi can tell us how good it is!

[Grey]

First, YAY! I dont suck as a book picker! so glad you loved King, Lisa!!! I loved it, too.

I'm kind of in a funk. I really want a wow. Like an Arsen wow.... I want in with the Mia Asher BR... but... if you guys are doing a Queen and the Cure BR, I want in on that too...

Jean! Consequences... wait for it...

[Leslie]

Jean, I have sympathy pretzel tummy for you. I hope you love it!

[Jean]

OMG Leslie! Why are you saying that? Now I really need to finish! F#$k this work shit!

ha!!!!

[Leslie]

Sorry Jean...but I am all excited for you.

[Nay]

Grey--I'll BR the Mia Asher book with you if you want. We weren't doing the QatC BR until after Hausfrau, and I was on the fence about joining the Hausfrau BR because I'd rather read the M.A. book!

[Nay]

Does that even make sense??

I'm just saying that I'll be happy to read either, but the Mia Asher book was originally my first choice!

[Ela]

NO Renee....you WANT TO READ HAUSFRAU..... *look at the chain, focus on the chain, repeat after me...."I want to read Hausfrau before all others...."*

[Jean]

Why does Hausfrau just scare me......is it a long book?

[Leslie]

It scares ME because I remember Amy's reaction after reading it...and she has waaaaaay bigger book-balls than me.

[Robin]

For me it was more shocking than anything. Amy's experience was different, but I wasn't invested so much in the characters as I was just watching them.

[Leslie]

Robin also has big book-balls.

[Jean]

My first thought was....."I love big book-balls"......but that doesn't sound so good.....

[Ela]

*starts singing* I like big balls and I can not lie...

[Nay]

Oh, Jean! You just made me horse laugh because I was thinking the same thing Ela said!

I'll read Hausfrau if Grey isn't up for a M.Asher BR on Wed. --does anyone besides me keep forgetting the name of that book???

ETA: Love Me in the Dark--Yes! That's it! lol

Yes Renee, I keep forgetting the name too!

*snort* I love big balls and I cannot lie...

I'll do whatever just gimme a good book to read.

LOL. I feel your pain.

[Tessa]

Fabi, thank you for picking Night Shifts Black! The story is so unexpected and going in a way I didn't see, but is so great.

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

That's awesome Tessa. Thanks for the feedback. I've had that one on my radar.

[Tessa]

It was wonderful. Sincerely wonderful. On my update, I almost said slow, but it isn't. There's so much happening, though not much in romance. Yet, I can't call it slow burn. It just gently moved you forward and takes it where you don't expect, but in a very good way. Lots of emotions but, as Amy would say, it was very beautiful.

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

Yeah! I'm adding it to my reading schedule now.

[Lisa]

I've added it to...because hello, a damaged, quiet, strange man!!

[Jean]

Guys! I'm loving the love for Night Shifts Black! I loved it! You have to read the second book to get the full impact......

[Tessa]

I plan to! That's high on my "next" list. I just have so many "next" books right now. Queen and Cure had to be next. Plus, Avoiding Commitment, The Knight, Wicked Abyss... *grins* So many goodies, so little time.
