I finished by Anya Bast today.

Thanks for getting it off my TBR (and giving me an A for the monthly challenge)."

Oh no, that means you didn't like it. Oh well, glad it's off the pile, sorry it wasn't a great read.

[Stormy]

I have started both Something About You and Some Girls Bite. They both take place in Chicago...interesting. I drove 5 hours round trip to a business meeting today and listened to about half of Some Girls Bite. I was laughing out loud at some parts and reciting other parts with the reader because they were so incredibly predictable. It's been a good way to pass the time and I look forward to listening to another couple hours of it over the next two days on my way to other obligations. Thanks for the recs!

[Dee]

I really like Some girls Bite - Chloe Neill is on my auto-buy list right now (for this series at least)

I loved it too. I still need to read Shadowfever. It is sitting in my pile. So many books to read, so little time. If I just didn't have to work or sleep.

Yep~ I love Moore books. Pratchett and Gaiman are pretty up there along with him. There is nothing more delicious than sarcastic dark humour (IMO) is my fav kind ^_^

[Dee]

I have lamb to listen to, but i listened to Fluke a few months back and found it hilarious!

for everyone buddy reading Darklover...enjoy! and Mac does get better ;)

[Penney]

Hi Inga, I was finally able to pick up Pride Mates from my library today, so I'm going to start reading it tomorrow. Somehow it's been 'in transit' to my library since April 1st from a library only 10 mins away...wth! Whatever, I've got it now so that's all that matters :)

I'm so glad you're enjoying your picks! I'm right in the middle of a book which I should be able to finish tonight or definitely, and then I'll pick up Something About You.

Hi Gigi - I plan on starting The Black Lyon week of April 18. I'm going to do a Buddy Read with Rebecca next week. If I can start earlier, will let you know.

[Cathy]

BJ Rose,
I read Frostfire and really enjoyed it, not surprising since I've liked all the other Kyndred and Darkyn books.
Thanks for putting it in the list and giving the push to pull it out and read it.

Yeah, she is kind of annoying in the beginning but then she goes through a huge transformation.

[Caroline]

I just finished my 1st Buddy read of the Gargoyle! Quite a interesting book!! Check out my review if you fancy a read! Thanks Christina S for being my buddy! Still waiting for my next book from the library so I can start my 2nd buddy read with D.G sorry it's taking so long!! x x

Sorry for the late reply.

Great recs. I'm torn between Changeless and Seduce Me at Sunrise. The rest get added to my TBR.

[~Megan~]

Valerie,

I finished A Discovery of Witches, and it ended up pretty good after a slow start! I'm excited to see what you think since we're doing the buddy read. Thank you for the awesome recs....I'm going to try super hard to get to Simply Irresistible and Practice Makes Perfect. All the others are on my TBR! :)

[Laura]

I just finished Just the Sexiest Man Alive, it was really cute. As I was reading I had a smile on my face the entire time!! I liked it so much that Melissa** is going to read it before I return it to library. I am about to start my second PIFM rec, The Book Thief. I am very excited to start this one since it has amazing reviews!!

What Happens in London is one of my all-time favorites. I just remember sitting on the beach, laughing out loud (which means my children were mortified).

Keep the great recommendations coming, I'll keep reading!

[Amy J.]

I bought my copy of Darkfever today can't wait to start reading

[Debbie]

Jane, I finished Pleasure Unbound this afternoon. Really enjoyed it, can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks for the push on that one. I have been reading so much I am behind on my reviews, but soon those will be up on too.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I finished Shoulda Been A Cowboy today! I love this series and really enjoyed this book. I enjoy how these books can have a lot of steam and still keep the emotions in them. I always care about the couple involved. That said, considering the hero and heroine's pasts, I expected more emotion than I got in this book. It still got 4.5 stars from me and I am looking forward to the next one!

YAY! I'm glad you liked it! It's on of my fav. series, and it just gets better with each book:) In fact i'm getting ready to start the first book of the new spinoff from that series.

I remember you said you were going to read a couple more from your list... Catching Fire and I can't remember the third. I hope you enjoy your next pick as much as Pleasure Unbound.

Happy REading:)

Hey Becky, I'm going to start my pick, , Hopefully this weekend!!! Let you know what I think soon. Also if you still want to buddy read I would love to read it with you closer to the end of the month:) Let me know!

[Jess]

I started my pick Not Quite a Husband it's a bit slow going, but it's not bad read, just ... slow.

If it doesn't pick up soon I'm going to have to pick another book from the awesome books that D.G. -Toil and Trouble- picked for me :)

[Debbie]

Jane, I am interested in reading the next one, I don't have it yet and right now i don't know if I will have time, maybe next month. I will let you know. Thanks :o)

[Pam]

Annabel-
Just finished the second of your recommendationsUndead and Unwed. What a hoot. Laughed out loud--reminded me of Stephanie Plum for some reason. Thanks for the recommendation.

I finished One Day and it was awesome!

[Sue]

I just finished "The Darkest Lie" last night. I really liked it! And just in time for the latest book in the series that just came out.

[Kami]

Rena, I finished Catching Fire. It was really good and ended on a serious cliffhanger. Now I have to find the next book fast!

Shelley, did you read River Marked yet? I will definitely read it this month. I have one other book I need to read first since it is due back to the library and then I want to read River Marked.

[Freya]

Hi Alexis :)

Sorry for the late recommends. Lost internet connectivity last week and it just got fixed. Almost two weeks for no internet! (You don't want to look at my mailbox :D)

Here's my suggestions... I've listed only books I've read so can comment on the story and tried to take as many as possible from your TBR.

Friends : Key of Light by Nora Roberts - I enjoyed the series alot. Jim recommended it in my last PIFM :)

Romance : The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye - Until I read this one, Gone With the Wind was my fav. but this one left me dreaming and feeling of-so-romantic :)

Intense : The Bride by Julie Garwood - This was my first Julie Garwood and I simply couldn't put it down. Loved the Scottish feel.

Emotions & New: The Duke And I (Bridgertons #1) by Julia Quinn - I found the book really funny and Lady Whistledown's Society Papers are simply hilarious...

Don’t forget : The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan - I've been trying out a lot of Fantasy and this one's way better than Atemis Fowl :D

Support : Buddy read - The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks - Found it on your TBR and I seem to remember the movie but not the book, so I'd like to read it too!

I hope you dont give up on it! Its a great read!(IMO).It does start rather slow and confusing, but it gets better as it goes along.

[Teresa Jo]

Recommended by: Sue
Completed:
Romance: Fanta C by Sandra Brown – Read 4/3/11
I finished this one up and it was a good light read. The main character was so much like a friend from my work days.

Pending:
Friends: Memoirs of a Geisha
Emotions: One for the Money
New: Slave to Sensation
Support: The Hunger Games
Bonus: The Kite Runner

Buddy Read with Lacy: City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare - Read 4/8/11

[Penney]

Inga, I have to admit I'm having a difficult time getting through Pride Mates right now. It's not a bad book, but I don't feel the least bit invested in the characters or the story. Maybe it's just that's it's been a really busy weekend and in constantly having to put it down. I'm only half way through, so I'll see if things get better.

Hi Taita! That's perfect! I thought I owned it but I don't so I had to order it. I should have the book by the 18th.

[Lacy]

Teresa Jo,

I just finished reading City of Fallen Angels and I loved it. I'm not sure how I feel about the surprising ending that was, of course, another one of her cliffhangers, but I still give it 5 stars. It was so nice to revisit these characters. The story had some nice twists, and a hot new character, and I enjoyed reading more about Simon. Then there is Clary and Jace...I love reading about Clary and Jace...enough said, no spoilers here! This story also has the quirky one liners that I love, making me laugh and forcing my husband to listen as I read it out loud to him!

I finished this up Friday late and really enjoyed catching back up with the story. My daughter took all the previous books back to college with her so I read it without refreshing my memory of where she left off in book 3. I was expecting a cliffhanger with this book but was still surprised with the ending. Simon is my favorite character, I hope things work out for him.

Hey Layla, funny thing happened.. I finished Guilty Pleasures BUT it's Laurell K. Hamilton's book!
duuhh!!

Doesn't matter... I already got Dreams of a Dark Warrior and I'm thinking I'll also read either Magic Strikes or Archangel's Consort.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Nice update Debbie! :)

[Amanda]

Finished Secrets of a Summer Night! Took me a while to start it since I've been sick for the better part of the week, but once I cracked it open, I couldn't put it down.

At times, I couldn't decide whether I liked seeing scenes with Annabelle and Mr. Hunt more than ones that featured the Wallflowers together.

I'm going to try to add in the next book to my reading as soon as possible.

[moulin]

whew! I just finished Dark Lover. I got a lot more than what I expected. I fell in love with all of the 'brothers'....even holding out hope for Zsadist. (scars are sexy) :0) I am going to miss them for a bit, as I promised to start Outlander, but will return soon!

Diane, Just finished Mouth To Mouth and I gotta say, I really really enjoyed it. Its been awhile since i've read a non m/m or non m/f paranormal book so it was a change and I loved it. 1 book down, 2 more to go =p

I have now finished Pride and Prejudice and of course I loved it!! It is a classic!! As soon as I was done I bought the movie and watched it. I also wanted to say that I couldn't talk about One Day when I finished it, but now I can say that you are exactly right about the way it makes you feel. I couldn't believe the way it ended.

[Caroline]

I've just finished reading my 2nd Buddy read! Brigde to Terabithia with D.G! Thanks for recommendin it, i thought it was quite sweet & although I kinda guessed what would happen I was still quite shocked!! Also reading the Book Thief which D.G recommended as a emotional read!! x x

[Stormy]

Melinda,

Finished Something About You yesterday. I wasn't too jazzed about the beginning, but by the end, I was on board. So I gave it 3 stars.

I'm still really enjoying Some Girls Bite, I'll let you know when I'm done.

Thanks for the great recs!
