October 2018 ~ Pick-for-Me Challenge
Tessa, I *might* have to ask you to pick me a new one. I didn't realize Neighbors
was a sex club book. I am going to try a few more chapters and see how it goes. After the Original Sinners series, I have had my fill of sex club stories.

Donna, if you haven't read the Thoughtless trilogy you should read that too! It's pretty angsty as well! 😬
Judy, I’ve been wanting to read Thoughtless but I have to budget my book money. The Idea of You and Beautiful Disaster are on my list as well. *sigh*.
Ela I usually go to a psycho thriller or a YA when I’m in a rut.

I'm so jealous that you have all these wonderfully angsty books to read!!!
Renee have you read the Mrs. February duet by Karen Cimms?
Not yet. But Paula told me I needed to. I LOVED her Of Love and Madness series.
Yes you definitely need to read it. It’s awesome!

Afte..."Tessa, if I remember correctly the sex club is just kind of backdrop to where the story takes place. There is one scene toward the beginning of the book that's a little over the top...but after that, I don't remember it being much of factor. Granted, it's been a while...
Donna wrote: "Yes you definitely need to read it. It’s awesome!"I'm slogging through a 3rd person romance right now. WAAAAAAY too much telling and not enough doing, saying, FEELing. If the writing wasn't good and the story didn't have potential, I'd chuck it. I'll definitely put K.C.'s duet in line to be one of my next 3.
Donna, do you have library access with overdrive? I was able to read The Idea of You, Beautiful Disaster and Thoughtless through my library that way.
Donna wrote: "Judy, I’ve been wanting to read Thoughtless but I have to budget my book money. The Idea of You and Beautiful Disaster are on my list as well. *sigh*."I know what you mean Donna...there are a few big ones I haven't read yet...I wish I could lend out books bc I'd lend you Thoughtless...do you use your library? You might be able to get some from there
PS... Beautiful Disaster is a must as well! 😁😁

My library rarely has any of the romance books that I’m looking for.
Ela! Don’t kick me out of the group!!🤣

Donna, have you at least read Twilight and 50 Shades??Cause seriously... you are losing major street cred here. 😛
Lisa, it was me complaining about
! Hee hee Tessa picked it for me. But if story doesn't center around the sex club, it should be ok. Thanks!
Ela would have to throw me out too. I have read Thoughtless (and have the scars to prove it!!!) But no Beautiful Disaster for me yet either. And I don't like PNR. I think we can take, her, Donna...she can't kick us both out!!!
Leslie wrote: "Lisa, it was me complaining about ! Hee hee Tessa picked it for me. But if story doesn't center around the sex club, it should be ok. Thanks!"
Oy...this is why I don't drink at work (or shouldn't drink at work!!!) I can't keep nuffin straight!
Lol!! I love PNR and I didn’t care for 50 shades 😱. Never read Twilight but have seen the movies like 37 times. Does that count ? I’m sweating over here ...
Lisa wrote: "Ela would have to throw me out too. I have read Thoughtless (and have the scars to prove it!!!) But no Beautiful Disaster for me yet either. And I don't like PNR. I think we can take, her, Donna......"WELL I'M AGHAST

Donna wrote: "Lol!! I love PNR and I didn’t care for 50 shades 😱. Never read Twilight but have seen the movies like 37 times. Does that count ? I’m sweating over here ..."Donna, those books were 100x better than the movies!!
I thought BD was a prerequisite? lol

Oy...t..."
Yeah, I don't believe it centered around the sex club. It was far more detailed and deeper than that. I think. :P It has been a while. I read it as soon as it came out.
Judy.Ca wrote: "Tessa, I've only read one on your list so it was hard...but I went with an author I really like...On Every Street
"Alright, tried to read On Every Street but I realized that the name sounded familiar. It is the prequel to the Artists trilogy so I do want to read it, but this is basically a no happy ending book. So, I DNF'd it, BUT! I really want to read the Artists trilogy because it really did catch me. I just didn't want to read the sad ending. (I'm a wuss, yes.)
Oh Leslie, if that doesn't work, I second pick
because I read book one and loved it and am curious if it holds through the series. :D
Tessa wrote: "Judy.Ca wrote: "Tessa, I've only read one on your list so it was hard...but I went with an author I really like...On Every Street"Alright, trie..."
Tessa do you want me to pick another for you?
I am freaking out over all your comments! Poor Donna! But yeah, there are some books she MUST read.....Tristan and Danika especially!
Tessa, I actually liked the later books in series better than book 1!!
were all 4.5 **** reads!!! The H in Steadfast is TO DIE FOR!!!
Judy.Ca wrote: "Tessa wrote: "Judy.Ca wrote: "Tessa, I've only read one on your list so it was hard...but I went with an author I really like...On Every Street"..."
Sure! I just don't like prequels about the failed relationship. It just makes me feel bad.
Leslie wrote: "Tessa, I actually liked the later books in series better than book 1!! were all 4.5 **** reads!!! The H ..."Oooh good to know. I did like the first one.
Tessa wrote: "Judy.Ca wrote: "Tessa wrote: "Judy.Ca wrote: "Tessa, I've only read one on your list so it was hard...but I went with an author I really like...On Every Street
I pick this one...I haven't read this series but have heard good things! ;)
Tessa wrote: "Leslie wrote: "Tessa, I actually liked the later books in series better than book 1!! were all 4.5 **** ..."I have only read book 1 of this series...I think I have them all but #3...more for the tbr pile -_-
Mod
Show of hands... who hasn't read Twilight? Thoughtless? ACOTAR? Black Daggar Brotherhood? Bad Things? Next you'll be telling me you didn't read Arsen? Grounded... you're alllll grounded! *are you ready...* Who hasn't read the *C* book? *runs and hides*
Grey, you also forgot Beautiful Disaster, 50 Shades and The Opportunist. I think all of those are rites of passage for all romance readers. Even me, miss picky pants has read them all. (Well, I never finished ACOTAR & BDB but I "tried" them)
Ok you already know I haven’t read Bad Things — I should also confess I’ve also not read The Opportunist...but I’m gonna!!! I’ve ready everything else you all listed just now ...except for maybe the “C” book — what is that?!
ok, here goes...I will just confess to those I have yet to experience ...but first I'm not connecting the dots on ACOTAR???I did read 'C' recently so that gives me bonus points because the Opportunist and Arsen I still need to get to, HOWEVER, I have them both borrowed on KU just waiting for me :-)
Wait!!! I haven't read "c" book because when I first met Ela, she told me not to. *whispers to Michele* The c book is
I volunteer as tribute to unread the "C" book. I couldn't do Arson or ACOTAR, I finished Thoughtless, The Opportunist, and Beautiful Disaster--but just barely, and I wanted to read BDB, but the series is $$$. Loved the other 3!
Wait what's the right of passage book you guys all read that Manny stemmed from? I can't remember the name!

Night Owl was a trip. The stuffed manatee was adorable (and the pet rabbit).Why am I banished to my room?
