Michelle, do you have a recommendation for my OPQ? Or a way to shuffle things around to fit a different recommendation? I have a mountainous TBR but I'm feeling a little lazy at the moment.

[booklovinrn]

I got lucky this month with my list. I either already had 8 of the books on my shelf at home and I have already requested the last from the library. I am ready to go, come on November!

Because Michelle's been talking it up all over town. :)

I guess it's just plain ol' luck that I've had it for a few weeks and have been wanting to use it in a challenge :D

1.A/B-Destined for an Early Grave-Bones
2.C/D/E- [book:At Grave's End|3..."

Oh come on Lisa!! I know you, you are the only person in the world I know who has a book for every room she enters. You make fun of me for reading so much, but I do not have a book in my work bathroom waiting on me!! LOL!! I love you Lisa!

[Sandy]

Here's my updated list now that I found a book for X/Y/Z

1. A/B -Adam in The Devil's Due by Jenna Black
2. C/D/E -Dearly, Sarah in Tall, Dark & fangsome by Michelle Rowen
3. F/G/H -Harper, Connelly in Grave Secret by Charlaine Harris
4. I/J/K - Josephine Wilan in The Renegade Hunter by Lynsay Sands
5. L/M/N -Merit in Friday Night Bites by Chloe Neill
6. O/P/Q -Ogletree, Leanne in On The Edge by Ilona Andrews
7. R/S/T -Shen An Dua in Redemption Alley by Lilith Saintcrow
8. U/V/W -Wilder, Luna in Witch Craft by Caitlin Kitteredge
9. X/Y/Z -Zayvion in Magic in the Shadows by Devon Monk

[The Flooze]

Nichole: Well, there's a Peter in Succubus Blues. As well as Cody, Hugo, Seth, Jerome, Roman...

Soulless has Conall Maccon and Ivy Hisselpenny, if that helps you in rearranging. There's a lot on your TBR I haven't read!

Though I do notice you have Rebecca on there, which I heartily recommend.

Is there anything you want to try to fit in?

Welcome to the Psy-Changeling world, Laura!

[Arcadia]

Is the Psy-Changeling series any good? I just ordered book one, so I'll probably be reading it soon :)

[new_user]

Very good. :D

[Arcadia]

new_user wrote: "Very good. :D"

Good to know :)

[new_user]

LOL. Just keep in mind, she wasn't planning a series when she wrote the first book, so there's less of the juicy plot that she introduces in the next books. There's also less romance, although her world is still very creative. But read it so you can get to the good stuff. Hehe. >:D

Erin wrote: "9. X/Y/Z - Yaslana, Lucivar, The Black Jewels Trilogy Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness "

Erin, this one is actually a trilogy with all 3 books bound together. They were originally available separately, so since the trilogy is 1200 pages, you might just want to include the first book in your challenge so you have a chance of finishing. :)

Here they are on their own--

Daughter of the Blood #1
Heir to the Shadows #2
Queen of the Darkness #3

Or if you want to read all 3 this month, here are some more characters if you want to change your Nov list around.


Jaenelle Angelline
Daemon Sadi
Saetan SaDiablo
Surreal SaDiablo
Heketah SaDiablo

[Tonya]

I may have to change my list around as I just looked and I have 4 books that were on hold at the library that have been shipped to my library. We shall see though, a couple of them are non-pnr. I am excited to read which is on my list.

I didn't notice that I put the trilogy in there instead of just the 1st book, thanks for pointing that out.

[Tara]

HMM... Okay, So I haven't read these books I'm not sure how to fit them in, but I'm certain there are at least 2 main characters in each one, so I'm going to read the books and then place them accordingly!

1.A/B-
2.C/D/E–
3.F/G/H –
4.I/J/K –
5.L/M/N –

9.X/Y/Z –

[Lara]

Ok, so since I'm new to goodreads I decided to give a challenge a go. It sounds like fun... but as I put my list together I wondered if someone could explain how you guys type in the titles as links to the books and add the covers in the thread as links as well. I love how easy it is to check out a book on someone's list just by clicking on it. Appreciate any help - thanks!

[Laura Lulu]

Welcome to the group Lara!

To add links, click on "add book/author" right above the comment box--it will open a search box. After you find the book you'd like to link, there is the option on the bottom to either add a a text link, or the cover art link. Click your choice on the bottom then click "add" next to your book & voila. :)
