Renee ❤️My heroes are ordinary wrote: "Leslie--I was going to pick one of the oldies that I loved, but I'm afraid they won't stand the test of time. Soooo I'm going with something I think will be a much better bet, even though I haven't..."

Ohhh great choice Renee...fingers crossed for you on this one Leslie...and it’s on audio on Hoopla too!

[Michele]

Ok Miss Donna...you’ve got lots of goodies on your list. I do think you should read The Bronze Horseman sometime but it might be an aggressive undertaking for January and I didn’t want to “saddle” you with it...no pun intended. So I’m going to give you . Enjoy!!

OMG I listened to The Hollows on audiobook and I went through the entire series of 13 books in less than 3 weeks. Loved it!

[Robin]

HAHAHA Grey! I'm sure you know what I'm going to pick, but we only have a couple books in common on your list! But I LOVED this one! It even made one of my year end lists! Cards of Love: The Devil! Have fun!

I told Marissa, that she could still participate... but that I'd let her pick for my pick and I'd pick for her, because I hadn't chosen yet... So... on that note.

Yep, you're right, Robin. Robin picks for Grey. But I was originally supposed to pick for Kim. I let Marissa take over picking for Kim, and I'm going to pick for Marissa, so she can play this month too. :)

[Grey]

Marissa... omg, *blink, blink* how did you stop on book 7??? Can. Not. Compute. You simply must finish. My pick for you is . Say hello to Nora and King for me... and Søren, if you must.

[Marissa]

Grey!!! I’m so excited to dive back into that world!!!

Eek Nay. My link to your list isn't working. So I just went into your shelves and found your pick-for-me shelf. Man, you've got a LOT of shelves. I love the way you have shelved things. Some very creative shelf names! LOL.

Welp, I haven't read that many of your choices, but I enjoyed browsing your shelf. For you I pick one I really liked, in fact it was in my top picks list for 2018.

Look the Part

ENJOY!!!!

[Lynette]

Hi Bev!!!!! This one caught my eye right away!!!! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Lynette]

Can someone tell me how you got the pic of the book to go in there? Not sure why I am not able to.

[Lynette]

Enjoy the read Bev!!!!

Thank you. That has been sitting on my shelf for over a year. Kind of excited to finally read it.

Lynette, when you are writing a comment, there is a tiny thing above the comment box that says *add book/author*
If you click on that while you're in the comment, you can search for a book then it will add a link to the book or its picture (or both if you want).

[Leslie]

Paula, I haven't read this, but it's gotten so much love and it sounds right up your angsty/emotional book alley. 🤓

The Man I Love

Jan, I think I fixed Nay's link... can you test it for me?

Working now. Thank you! *hugs*

Lynette, if you're on a laptop/desktop computer, directly above the comment box, you'll see a little hyperlink that says add book/author. Click that. Then in the search box, type in the name of the book you're adding, or the name of the author you're searching for. Down on the bottom of that little box there is a little toggle dot that says Add: Link or cover. Make sure you always switch it to cover. Then click on the search button to search for your book. Then when you've found the right book, click add and it will insert the proper link into your post.

Excellent, thank you for letting me know! If anyone else's links are broken, please let me know!!

[Nay]

Sorry, Grey and Jan. I meant to provide my link to my shelf the other day and forgot.

Thanks, Jan! I've looked forward to that book!

I need to overhaul my shelves a bit. There are probably about 40 that are out of date or that I don't use. Thanks for reminding me! I'll have to do that while I'm cooped up.

[JudyCa]

Sorry I'm late picking 😵 I've been buried in a book lol... anyways, Jenn I pick for you,
I'm assuming you read Bright Side first, but if you haven't, do NOT read Gus...let me know and I'll pick something else 😁

[JudyCa]

Thanks for my pick Kim! I'm looking forward to reading that 😁

*hands Jenn a box of tissues* Tell me if that's enough. The first half hurts, but by the end, it truly heals.

Ok great! I don't know how you waited...I had to dive in there immediately after BS 😬
Tessa was right...tissues required...along with alcohol...but it'll be ok in the end 😍

[Grey]

We're doing great girls! Only a couple that weren't able to check in and pick today...and with it being a holiday, I think we are off to a smashingly good start!

Thank you! I hope I love it or else the pitchforks will be out!

Oh Jean - what to pick! It is a toss up between and and .

I have chosen as I really enjoyed it - will be good to hear what you think!

Donna wrote: "Lisa , I pick Silenced by Leddy Harper.

5 star read for me and I can loan it to you!

Oh yay, Donna! I can't wait to read this one. It's right up my alley!!!!

[Lisa]

Jan, I pick for you . I have heard so many good things about it, and it's on my short list to read!!! I actually have it in Audible and started it, but got sidetracked! Can't wait to hear what you think of it. Enjoy!!!

Anyone else feel like Paula just put herself up as “tribute” in The Hunger Games” with this book choice? However, you know I loved it too! So, I definitely appreciate the strategy... May the odds be ever in your favor Paula 😉
