Pick For Me Challenge - June 2017
Definitely a woman with short reddish hair pushed back by tortoise shell glasses...that sounds way cool
Lisa, done! And convenient, because that's what I went with originally! Leslie, no on the VS model, but perky cheerleader type? Yes, but not until book 2. And I emailed you.
Please please please make Ela a pole dancer, Robin!!! Surely there's room for a pole dancer in your story somewhere!
Ela the pole dancer? *scrunches nose* THAT sounds funny...
I'd read a story about Ela the pole dancer and her friend Lisa who wears slutty high heels that she cant walk in and trips all the time. Hee hee
I'm going to have to ix-nay the pole dancer!

What was the original plot? I believe we wanted a bad ass woman who kidnaps the guy and tortures him??? While he falls all over her?

Yes Ela...that is it. She kidnaps him...and instead of her body betraying her by always being wet and ready for the big brute of a bad guy, he would just be perpetually hard for her (cuz otherwise the physical logistics just ain't gonna work). And she could be a pole dancer in a club that she lures him into...then drugs him and kidnaps him, chains him in her dungeon of pain, and has her way with him over and over and over, until she completely breaks him down, and he falls madly in love with her and willingly follows her around on a leash if she says so...

Hee hee"We're like Cagney and Lacey, but way cooler...and we can fight crime, or kidnap men, or whatever we want!! Mostly because we are cute and adorable and can get away with stuff like that and no one would suspect us!!!
Hmmmm...perhaps Lisa is one part of the Max Monroe authors....

I'm in too even though I still haven't completed my May "try again" book..... but I still have a few days right?
I'm in for June, but I missed May apparently so can I get a double pick? Sheesh, I still have to read End of Day for bev's "try again" May challenge...Here's my (non-updated) pick-for-me list:

Amy, did you participate in the May one?
Nope Tessa, I forgot to post my list. That's why I'm hoping for two picks for this month.June should be less hectic for me. Yay!
AMY!!!! Why didnt you BR End of Day with us??? A bunch of us just read it.Of course every one but me loved it.
:D A few of us are just adding books because with the TBR one. I have my book, Obsidian and I want to join in on the Stone in the Sea because I own it and haven't read it. :D
*grabs megaphone*Fabi!!! Yoooo hoooooo! WHEN ARE YOU DOING PICKS????
*wriggles with impatience*
Need to find the list... but I'm in ...
Yay, Michelle's here! Is there anyone else who hasn't joined for the month yet??
Well Kate said she would join but then THEY started fighting over her and I haven't seen her on here since...
Ela... she likes BULLY BOOKS! Of course we fought over her. :)

Same as every month --- last day. Which is tomorrow.
That's great.
Though I bet even Yoda lacked book patience.

*pouts*I don't wanna wait til tomorrow.

The force is NOT with me.
I may NOT be a Harry Potter nerd, but I am a Star Wars nerd.🤓

I've been so out of the loop, I didn't even know y'all were reading it. Besides, it was a go-back-later for me (couldn't bring myself to label it DNF) so I was going to use it for bev's May challenge of Try Again.
But you may not be the only one who didn't love it if I have the same experience I had last time with it...
I had a lot of trouble with EOD at first too. Just wasn't at all what I expected and the heroine majorly got on my nerves--too much snark for me to think of her as sexy in the men's eyes. But, luckily, I was able to adjust after a while.

Sorry bev... Sorry Fabi...
But YAY!!! It's the last day of May, I'm excited now, too!
I don't know if I'm more excited to pick for someone or have someone pick for me....I am excited though!!!
@Ela, please refer to the picture in message #77;-)
Just got to work. I'll try to get the pairs posted at lunchtime.
Lisa wrote: "I don't know if I'm more excited to pick for someone or have someone pick for me....I am excited though!!!"Yes! I never know what I'm more excited about!
If anybody else is too buried to participate this month, we can pick for each other and just pretend we'll read them!

Well Yoda lost patience quite a bit if I recall, he just happened to be poised! Do you need help???
Lisa wrote: "I don't know if I'm more excited to pick for someone or have someone pick for me....I am excited though!!!"I'm excited when someone is picking for me since it appears I have a bad rep of picking for others....

Me too Ela. Bev didn't rate hers very high and I don't think Jan has finished this months....oh well, the books were on their TBR - so they ultimately chose them first lol

It was Figure Eight - and I picked it for her, darn it. I was dying to hear what she thought because it's on my TBR too!!

Same here!!!! I guess we'll just have to buddy up and read it ourselves!

Alright, I'm going to assume I didn't miss anyone and go to the randomizer site to generate our pairs.
