October - Pick It For Me! Challenge

[Melanie (Moviemavengal)]

Finished The Year of Living Scandalously!

[Nancy H]

I just finished Good Girls Don't, which wasn't one of my picks, but it sounded so good from everybody else' reviews that I decided to read it anyway. I really liked it and will definitely read others by this author!

Nancy, before you read the rest of the Donovan Bros series, you might also want to read the short story in The Guy Next Door as it explains the family dynamic so much more. Jamie's story is also good and I just picked up Eric's story yesterday. The whole Donovan Bros series is great.

Thanks, I will definitely do that. I really liked this story, and I wondered if there were more books in the series, especially featuring the brothers. I remember seeing an anthology on someone's shelf that had this story in, so I will try to find that title and pick it up. Thanks for the info. I saw that you just got your November picks - Happy Reading!

Downloaded the audio version of Pride and Predjudice. It'll give me something to listen to as I type up lesson plans and IEP's next week. Thanks for the tip ladies!

[Karen K.]

Sorry for updating at the last minute. I read my two buddy reads, The Peach Keeper and City of Bones. I'm still reading Rebecca but probably won't finish it tonight. I am enjoying it though!

Shell - who is the narrator?

Lindsey Duncan. She has a lovely British voice. :)

Definitely helps the atmosphere. :)

I listened to the version narrated by Kate Reading and it was marvelous. :)

Ok so I finished Where Dreams Begin down to the wire yesterday! Another great book from Lisa Kleypas!! I love her! Thanks for the recommendation D.G.!!

[Mandy]

Ok. I've been waiting to post an update of the finishers. But, since there hasn't been a book added since the first, I'm going to go ahead and post.
