Thanks, Ramneek. Both books have been on my TBR for what seems like forever. I read the 5 book Fever series and fell in love, then purchased Iced and just never got around to it. With the recent addition of Burned, I knew it was time to get back to the series before I need to start over again with Darkfever.

I read Sempre earlier this month, and I encourage you to sweep off the dust and give it a try. Loved that book so much I can't wait to see how the story continues!

Happy Reading!!

Thanks Cynthia, I'll let you know how they are!

Paris wrote: "Emma I pick and for you."

Thanks Paris, I was secretly hoping you would pick Fangirl. I have been wanting to read it for ages but it never fit into any of the challenges I was doing so I kept putting it to the side. So now I have a reason to put it front and centre :)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Pairs Posted
Pairs as of 2-20

[Alana]

Stella,

I know nothing of any of these books, so I just winged it. I picked because I'm a sucker for a modern twist on an old tale, and because I love the cover and adore anything with vampires.

Hope you enjoy!

[Wendi]

LaurLa wrote: "Here is my March Dusty Book Shelf:


Hi LaurLa! I choose for you & . Enjoy! =)

[LaurLa]

Hi Jane - Thanks for the picks! Midnight in Austenland has been languishing on my TBR for awhile... definitely need the push ;-)

[LaurLa]

Hi Turtlecollector!

First, I have to say I love your name! I like turtles a lot. I used to collect turtle figurines back in college because they were my sorority's mascot and the affinity has stayed with me these 20 years, though I don't really collect anymore.

Second, I have to say I love your name! We call my son Turtle because... well, for obvious reasons. He tends to be a bit pokey ;-)

Lastly, and the reason we're all here, I pick for you:
and

Hope you enjoy. Free Country sounds kind of interesting! Happy Reading!

Thanks, Free Country was one I was hoping would get picked since it looks like it may be more upbeat than other ones.

I have been collecting turtle items mostly since high school, but my very first stuffed animal as a baby, which I still own, was a turtle.

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Sorry, I am on my phone so no links.

Jane, I pick Maplecroft and Mean Streak for you. They are both on my TBR.

[Leo(nie)]

Hi Alana, I choose for you:

Because it sounds awesome!

and because it's on my own TBR :-)

[Leo(nie)]

Thank you Stella, I'm looking forward to it :-)

[Alana]

Awesome! Thanks! I love Neil Patrick Harris and this book looks his hilarious! I usually don't go for books in The Strain's genre but more than one person has recommended it to me so hopefully it lives up to the hype.

I've finished this one and am going to read something else before I tackle the second book on this challenge... this first one was a real doozy for me - more horror than i am used to and will definitely give me nightmares... there is a reason I prefer cozy mysteries... I am sure someone else would like it much better than I did, because it is well written and the storyline and plot are pretty tight...

I finished Unconditional Surrender - An M/M Military Bundle YIKES 904 pages! I am not a fan of anthologies. In my experience, they are too uneven. Some are good stories, some bad and that bothers me. In addition, I think it would be better to read over a period of time, as opposed to read it until it is finished (2 days) like I did.

Cruise Control - 3 stars
Arctic Fire - 3 stars, interesting setting
Storm Out - 3 stars
Civilian Master - 2 stars
His Guarded heart - 2 stars
Blood & Peyote - 2 stars? I couldn't follow this one
Desert Heat - 2stars
The Houseboy: Initation - Ummm..I don't know. I t wasn't poorly written, but it was disturbing to read.
Irristible Forces -- huh...can't even remember enough to rate it - -wait I remember now, I liked it until about 1/2 way through, then I hated the what the author did with the couple
Flight Risk - 3 stars


These I liked:
Hometown hero - 3.5 stars, very cute MC
Resilient Heart - 4 stars, it wasn't perfect, but it evoked a lot of emotions
The Only One Who Cares 5 stars-- this is part of a series that I really like, a great installment

So I need a break from the military types, so I'll read the next book sometime next week.

I'm going to be starting soon. I'm getting it as a traveling book this month so that is cool it works with this challenge as well. I've had it on my TBR for soooo long. I will listen to the audio as well, as I've heard the audio is very good.

Denise wrote: "Barb,
I pick and for you."


Ransom River, by Meg Gardiner, finished 2/28 ★★★.5
The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, finished 3/6 ★★★

I ended up reading Ransom River right at the end of February for an impromptu book discussion when some of my GR friends came to town, so I guess it really doesn't count for March, does it? :)

I read The Alchemist earlier this week, since it filled several challenge slots, and it's a book I've owned for years. I'm glad I got the push I needed to read it, and now I can move on to the next dusty book. Thanks!

[Jenne]

Penni Angel must be listened to lol.
