Eye of the Beholder Challenge
@ Connie -- that color is exactly what made the cover get me as well -- plus purple is the color of the month in another group so Groovy!!@Agnieszka -- the fourth book in the Jack Daniels series was a lot less graphic than the third. You might be ok continuing this series.
@ Agnieszka: I pick
for you -- all that lovely cream and lace in the cover!My next five:
Thanks, Agnieszka, I'm looking forward to this book. I agree that it's a pretty cover, and that square dance looks like fun.
Thank you Jennifer - I'm looking forward to start it soon especially since it's an O-title and perfect for the obstacle course (extreme) challenge in another group :-)
I finished my last book:At Bluebonnet Lake by Amanda Cabot - 9/4/17 ♥♥♥♥
Thanks so much for the pick, Agnieszka. It was a warm and loving Christian romance that left me with a peaceful feeling.
Jennifer, I pick
because, hey, there's chocolate on the cover!My next five:

Good to know, I have this one on my Kindle as well :-)
Connie, i pick
because that drink looks delish.....My next five:
I'm going to make another pick so I have a book in reserve for the lull periods when no books are chosen:Jennifer, for you I pick
because my eye has been drawn to it the last few times you posted your choices. Love the dark background contrasted with the bright title color.My next five:
Connie N. wrote: "I'm going to make another pick so I have a book in reserve for the lull periods when no books are chosen..."That's a great idea Connie! Since I plan to start/read my book this week I'll do it the same way :-)
My pick for you Connie is:
- it's such an interesting cover I love the perspective - how do you call it in English? Is it bird's eye view?My next five are:
Agnieszka wrote: My pick for you Connie is: To Have and to Hold (The Wedding Belles, #1) by Lauren Layne - it's such an interesting cover I love the perspective - how do you call it in English? Is it bird's eye view?Yes, exactly. A bird's-eye view. And thanks for the back-up pick.

I like the backup pick thing. So far i've read five books for this challenge and have five i'm still working on including Connie's above -- that's why i like that cover too, Connie. A nice little pick list! Let's make it six. Agnieszka, i pick
for you because what an intriguing cover!My next five:
Thank you Jennifer! I'm looking forward to read it :-)
Jennifer wrote: "I like the backup pick thing. So far i've read five books for this challenge and have five i'm still working on..."Wow, 5 open books for this challenge, Jennifer? I thought I was being proactive by having 2. So I guess I'd better have another one ready to go...
Jennifer, I'll pick
since you picked an alcoholic cover for me too. Hey, maybe we can meet at a bar and read our boozy books together!I'm in the mood for a hot-guy cover, so here are my next choices:

Sounds like a drunk front is about to come through
Jennifer wrote: "Sounds like a drunk front is about to come through"Perhaps I should join and give
another chance :-)
Agnieszka wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "Sounds like a drunk front is about to come through"Perhaps I should join and give

Are there any spoilers in book 4 regarding Rusty Nail?
Nah not really. You could read it after two and there's enough past detail re relationships etc to get you caught up
I finished
- what a great book! Thank you for the pick.Connie, the next one for you is:
- looks like chocolate and who doesn't love it ;-)My next five are:
Agnieszka, I'm picking
for you -- i really like her covers.My next five:
Thank you Jennifer, I hope this second book as great as the first in series :-)
Thanks for the reminder about this challenge. Will it be continuing in 2018?
Connie N. wrote: "Thanks for the reminder about this challenge. Will it be continuing in 2018?"I hope so - I'm still working on my two open books :-) With the Christmas time it took a little longer than planned *grins*

If Jennifer will continue to host it? If not, I'll figure something out!
Oh I hope it will continue! I've still not read my book but I love the idea :)
For whatever reason I don't always get my "immediate emails" on some of these discussions. GRRRR Yes, this goes on and yes I'll host! I missed six updates!!! Now -- someone pick for me and let's get this reading year going!
I'm reposting my last five because they're starting to get buried and I've also read a couple of them:My next five:
Awww I really need to read my book because I do so know what I would choose from your books! ❤
Rosa wrote: "Awww I really need to read my book because I do so know what I would choose from your books! ❤"well get busy woman!!! :) :) :) :D
Jennifer wrote: "Rosa wrote: "Awww I really need to read my book because I do so know what I would choose from your books! ❤"
well get busy woman!!! :) :) :) :D"
yeeeees.. and I would start it IMMEDIATELY if it would just have an ice-cream or a tiger on the cover, or be a series #11, or if the MC would speak a language I don't know, or if it would have the word "catacomb" somewhere in its text, or if its title would start with an U.... it's really not my fault that this book is so very unhelpful and inconsiderate!

ok. my book STILL doesn't fit anything I would need but I finally started reading it because I couldn't stand seeing my task here unfinished any longer, lol.
Hopefully it will turn out to be a good read, at least :D

And maybe your next pick will fit half a dozen other challenges! :)
Jennifer, you can bet for my next five I will only choose books I can use someway or the other, lol!
I've finally, FINALLY finished my book
What a nice cover for such a booooooring book. It's less than 200 pages but it felt like reading a door-stopper. So dull, flat characters and I could guess the solution to the murders early, a thing I'm usually not good at.
I had the next in series on my kindle as well but deleted it instantly. Very glad I'm done and over with it!

a) Well, i'm glad you got that ruled out so that you don't have to worry with it any longer!
b) i actually read that about two weeks ago for a challenge and I recommend it to you, peacock and all!!! I'll stick the Vincenzi in the queue for this month. Did you know she died yesterday? I love her books so that was not good news...
C: For Rosa I pick
-- looks good and I love that violet color!My next five:
Jennifer... sorry, I can't remember that you recomendet a book for me! 😨
I haven't heard the news from Vincenzi, either... actually, I have never heard from her before.
Thank you for the pick, I do need a cover with fire on ig so I hope I'll get to it soon! I've read some books from another series from Meg Muldoon and I think I've liked them, lol

Actually, i was saying that I recommend "East of the Sun" -- I think you might like it!
Sorry Jennifer! How embarassing.. my family keep telling me things I'm sure I've heard for the very first time with: we've told you before!!! And now it happens with written stuff, too! I'm not yet forty, how can this happen?! I'm going to check it out now, because, peacock!!!!, you know 😄
Edit: I still love the cover, but not even a peacock will make me read historical fiction.. but thank you for recomending... twice! :D
