The Marquise of O - 5 stars
The marquise gets pregnant and decides to search for the father of the child over a newspaper (that's what the author says in the first sentence so I'm not really spoiling anything). The happy ending earned this book 5 stars.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - 4 stars
Not so action-loaded as I remember from a cartoon I used to watch, but with enough mystery, suspense, a little bit of philosophy and eternal questions about human nature.

So I don't know how to describe After Dark, its a SciFi/Futuristic/Paranormal/Romance/Mystery. It was very interesting, but I felt a little lost in the world. I'd definitely tell you to give it a shot though.

As always Ezi you were spot on!!
(Uh.. except with Crazy Girl on the Train. LOL!)

[Cait S]

I finished my first book . Ummmmmmmmm...

I have some serious bones to pick with Ann Aguirre. It was okay and I'll read the last one just to see how the whole series ties up (and because Fade <3). But yeah. Yeahhhh... I could rant for a few days on some of the crap she pulls.

[Snowtulip]

Yippee Kristin!! So glad you loved them :D

I think I'll probably read AReason to Believe again (loved it) and I'm on the hold list for Half Bad since you and Emma piqued my interest!

That's one of the best books I've read in a long time.

Did you read or listen?

Well...I fear you will be disappointed. There is no SE Jakes novella in Unconditional Surrender - An M/M Military Bundle

Hold The Line by SE Jakes is part of this anthology Danger Zone: Tales of Military Passion

I'm looking forward to reading on in this series and the best thing is that our local library has them all, so I don't have to hunt for them. Now I just have to make time between all the others to fit them in.

[Debbie (Doc)]

I finished my first dusty . I really enjoyed the start of this series. Thanks Jodi for picking it.

I am hoping to get to my second book before the end of the month.

Theo wrote: "Colleen

I choose for you and "

These were great picks! I enjoyed both of them but especially The Cold Dish. Thanks!

[~Melissa~]

Christina T - finished up a couple of days ago - loved it. Trehan was delish! Probably should have read these in order as I was a little confused by reading this after the rest of the IAD series but still loved it! Thanks for the pick - I won't get to until first week of April as I'm buddy reading with a group and audio just came out. I'll let you know in April how it was

[Alana]

Finished The Strain, can't wait to read the next book. I really enjoyed this one!

3/19/15 ✿✿✿✿

[Jodi]

I finished my two reads for March.

was a bit slow in the middle but other than that I liked it, I will continue with the series.

was a good sequel!I love the humor in Alice Clayton's books. I will continue with this series too.

[Leo(nie)]

I finished and I really liked it! It didn't sweep me of my feet like a Discworld novel, but it still surprised me and had great elements and characters!

R.I.P. Terry Pratchett, you will be missed.

[Shy The WidowMaker]

Skandia I read and loved it. I can't wait to read the next one.

[Emma (M)]

Managed to fit in my second dusty pick before the end of the month. was a typical YA but fun nonetheless.

[Theo]

Finished one of my picks for the month:

While this was not my high school experience, the author creates a realistic, if gritty world that never falls too far into angst.

Hi LaurLa! I choose for you & . Enjoy..."

Hi Jane❀ - I finally got to these this month!
- 3 stars - I enjoyed it but the heroine was a little too much in her head for me. It took a left turn (but maybe not so left if you consider the inspiration) that I didn't necessarily like - it worked for the book, but it disappointed me.

- 4 stars - I liked this one better than the last book (or at least the last one I read which was The Finding). I loved that the heroine was kick-ass and went after what she wanted and also allowed herself to be vulnerable. And I've loved Damien from the beginning!

Thanks for picking these!
