+ recommend 
Harry potter because it's just the perfect cold weather classic that if you haven't read it yet, you should haha, Girls waits with gun I also have it added to my giant tbr and it sounds like perfect mystery type of novel for the days getting shorter and darker and then I recommend Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor as urban fantasy, because it's personally 1 of my fave's and you might like it as well.

The second one is the third book in my favorite series (the first book is John Dies At The End), so it'll be great to finally getting around to reading it.
As for the bonus pick, it's actually been on my to read list for years, and this'll be tbe perfect kick in the pants to read it already.

"Danielle, I decided not to read
right now, because I haven't read any of the Night Huntress novels yet. I didn't realize it was part of that, but I thought it was a completely new series. A friend of mine really very strongly recommended to read the books in order, so I'll take her advice :-) I don't know if you want to pick again? Or I could just read
, the first book in the series.

Cool, that works.
Finished the last book in the Shopaholic series!
read 11/13I really enjoy entering Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood's world). It's a joyous world of misunderstandings, over shopping, and great friends and family. This time she is in Hollywood trying to make it as a Class A fashionista for the stars! Of course, nothing is simple in Becky's world and things turn awry very quickly.
Progress: 1 of 3 down
Finished the last of my three books today, and realized I hadn't said anything about any of them yet. Oops.And Then There Were None turned out being really good, and quite a bit more interesting than I was expecting. Glad I finally got forced into reading it, and now I definitely need to read more of her stuff.
What the Hell Did I Just Read ended up rocking, but I kinda knew it would before I even started it, cuz I loooooooooove the series so much. Hopefully he eventually brings out a fourth one. ^_^
And for my genre pick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, I'm also glad I finally read it. The movie was kinda meh for me, but the book was much better. I might continue the series, but I'm not sure yet.
Theo, loved your picks.
It finishes one series for me and UTD with another.
Managed to finish one:
- it was a cozy, charming romance about a young librarian who turns the loss of her job into an opportunity to start her own mobile bookshop in the rural Highlands of Scotland. Using deaccessioned books from her library branch, she purchases a van and begins a transformation of the small community she serves, which in turn transforms her. Along the way, she learns some hard lessons about the reality of romance vs that she finds in the covers of her novels. Very enjoyable. Four stars.The other two books have been on order at my library for a couple of weeks, so I doubt I'll get to them this month. Sigh. Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Finished: 
22/11/18 ★★★★★I love this book, there is so much history and descriptions of the land and everything on it.
I finished
- Pisces Hooks Taurus - 4 stars! I really like this author's style and the story made me laugh, especially in the beginning. Didn't love it quite as much as Leo Loves Aries though - the first in the series. Thanks for picking it, Danielle!
I went off list this month. While I did read books from my original list, they were NOT the ones picked for me.
(Finished ★★★ 1/2. Litsy BookClub Read. #LMPBC #GroupC)
(Finished ★★★. I'll be continuing this series.)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thanks for my picks.
Ezinwanyi
I managed to finish two books.
★★★★½I liked it way more then I thought I would. And it really has a nice fall feel to it so I'll probably save the rest of the series for fall months in the next year.
★★★★I had this one for 3 years now and I'm glad it got picked. It is historical fiction based on the story of a real woman who became the first female deputy. Interesting characters, very readable style of writing with just enough humour.
Didn't have the time for the Daughter of Smoke & Bone, so it gets straight to 2019 tbr. :-)
Thanks to Damselflies for the good picks.
Finished all 3 books:The Family We Make 11/24 - really well written but I'm not a huge fan of YA
Illegal Contact 11/14 - just okay
In the Requiem 11/30 - Brilliant - Love this series and I'm sad this is over. This book made me cry, smile and left me wanting more.
