Thanks for the recommendations! I will be reading Caine's Reckoning
and Sea Swept. Sear swept wasn't actually on my TBR list but it sounds good so, why not.

I REALLY want to read How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf but my library doesn't have it and it will probably take all month for me to inner library loan it. I think I will just stick with those two for now since Ive been too busy to really read lately =(

Thanks Shannon! The picks are great. I'm going to look around for Dog on It in audio, but I doubt I'll be able to get it this month. So instead I'll read either Bitten (you are right - it's been on my TBR a LONG time!) or Desire Untamed. I'll let you know :)

Vi and I will be reading Like Water for Chocolate beginning Friday Nov. 4th if anyone would like to join us :)

That must be Becky. She said she will have my recs soon.

I guess I'm not as patient as I thought i am. : )

[Dee]

i pm'd her today and she said she would post them - if they aren't up by the time i go to bed tonight, i'll get someone else to do them for you ;)

Let me find out how long it will take to get it. I know I can have it the first of December (my moms copy) but that doesn't help this month. I will check the library and get back to you.

[Dee]

only 1 official re-pick and Yz, if your original partner picks, you can choose which ones you want to go with ;)

[Debbie]

Hey Isabella, Looks like they have several copies available in the library system. Should be able to read it anytime you want to after next week. I just put a request in for it so it will hopefully get here next week.

[Debbie]

only 1, Dee that is great :)

[Vi]

Wow, Jane, I didn't realize you were waiting for your picks too. You've been very patient.

I'm doing a buddy read for Daughter of Smoke and Bone this weekend, so how about the start of next week?

[Vi]

Hi Shell!

I finished Dragon Bound yesterday. I loved it! I don't know why I kept post-poning it. I also finished the next book in the series (yay! for my library) but it was not as good as the first. I'm so glad I finally started the series. Thanks for the push, Shell!

This is the first time that I've finished my PIFM pick so soon.

Elise, if you have access, read the short story by Victoria Dahl in The Guy Next Door before you read Good Girls Don't. It's not necessary, but a few things that happen in the book will take on a whole new meaning.

Glad you liked it! :) I'm waiting on the 3rd book from my library. I didn't like the story of book 2 as much as I did book 1, but I did love more of Rune. Can't wait for his book.

[Sana]

Yz the Whyz , here are your November PIFM picks! Hope you like 'em. =)


From their TBR/New to them

1. The Biggest Loser - Paradise by Judith McNaught. A little more than 700 pages long, I read this book a few years back. I enjoy a good romance once a while and Judith McNaught provides just that.

2. Modern Family - Something About You by Julie James. I enjoyed this book a lot and Julie James is one of the best authors writing books for the contemporary genre.

3. Channel Surfer - The School for Heiresses by Sabrina Jeffries. I am not much of a fan of anthologies and short stories but I found this on your TBR and it sounds pretty interesting.



From your Read

4. Law and Order - City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I just read it last month and wow, it was a pure ride! I plan to start on the second one real soon.

5. Dancing with the Stars - Coraline by Neil Gaiman. It has a thriller, gory theme and it has got a kid in it. Pretty much out of everyone's comfort zone. But honestly, it is an interesting book.

6. That's So Raven - Take Me There by Carolee Dean. My favorite, favorite book. It is so raw and took my breath away. Beautiful YA book that everyone should read.



Buddy Reads

7. The Amazing Race - Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I have heard many good things about this book and well, I love Paris.

8. My Favorite Channel is... - The Vampire Stalker by Allison van Diepen. I have watched and liked shows from The CW and my favorite TV show series is The Vampire Diaries which is why I picked up this particular book.



Let me know what you think =)

I finished 3.5 stars which was one of my picks from Julia, I'm going back over her picks to see if I'll read anything else if I can squeeze it in. Thanks Julia!

I have 43 items out from the library lol I have to get through that pile :)

[~Leslie~]

Hi Laurie Just finished and I have to say that it is one of the best historical romances I have ever read. I've been meaning to read this for awhile and just never got around to it. I am so happy you picked it for me. I know several people with Asperger's and that made this book even more special.
thanks again!

I finished Garden Spells and I enjoyed it very much. I laughed a lot and even cried a little bit but in all I was glad I had a chance to read it, it was great.

Debbie, I'm sorry I didn't ask you first if you can read it with me. Now if you prefer leaving it to December so you can have your own (or mother) copy it's alright please don't feel forced or obliged.

[Tuğçe]

Hi Sana! Sorry for sending those late, I got stuck at work yesterday till very late...

1.The Biggest Loser - You Don't Have to Say You Love Me or 1Q84 - I haven't read any of these but they both sounds pretty good.

2.Modern Family - Juliet - I have read this very recently. I was pretty fun and good read.
Before I Go to Sleep - This one is on the crime/mystery/thriller part but one of my favourites this year even though I am not a fan of the genre.

3.Channel Surfer - Silk - I saw this one is in your TBR and it was a good short read so you can give it a try.

4. Law & Order - The Summer I Turned Pretty - I read this trilogy in the summer and absolutely loved it. It takes you back to your teenage years (even towards childhood) and re-live the struggles you had, with all the fun,friendship and first love etc...

Sweet Surrender - I noticed you had other Maya Banks books in your TBR so why not give this series a chance? Although I liked the second book more this is a good series to start, fun and hot read ;)

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - I must admit, reading the first book I didn't understand what the hype was all about this trilogy, I still continued. I can't say it was a fantastic or the best book but I must admit it gets better if you like detective/crime books, you most probably enjoy these.

5.Dacing with Stars - Well it is a struggle to go out of ones comfort zone I must admit. I am posting some of the books I read recently and enjoyed which aren't in your TBR.
A Game of Thrones - An epic fantasy which definitely deserves all the great reviews it had.
Promises - a M/M romance book with no strong graphic scenes but a sweet love story. (the second book in the series I found even better)
In the Woods - Another detective/crime series - I only read this one in the trilogy - this is a little more darker and depressed than TWTDT but still a very well told and full of emotions.

6.That's so Raven - I like reading YA books, I can't deny that :) So here are some I really liked.
Amy and Roger's Epic Detour
Anna and the French Kiss
The Hunger Games

7.The Amazing Race - India - Life of Pi (I am going to start reading this with Amy J today as a buddy read- you are welcome to join)

8.My Favourite Channel - I am not very good with TV so I will just pick books we both have and willing to read ok
Succubus Blues
Delirium

Hope you can find something you enjoy if not please let me know and I can try again...

Happy readings!!

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

@ Becky and Sana

Wow! From having no recommendations to two ladies giving me such great picks, I'm so pleased.

I'm going to choose the one book that both of you recommended: Cassandra Clare's City of Bones.

[Sana]

Eimeriina~ wrote: "Hi Sana! Sorry for sending those late, I got stuck at work yesterday till very late..."

Thanks for the fantastic recommendations! =D I will be starting on the recs in a week or so. So it won't be possible for me to start Life of Pi =(. But if you want to read Delirium or Succubus Blues later, do let me know!

Apart from that, I am confused between The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. A Game of Thrones and Sweet Surrender look very interesting but I'd have to see when I can get my hands on them.

I just finished reading Divergent and I really enjoyed it. It was captivating. I think I'm a bit in love with Four myself. I was sad, that the faction I would have wanted to join was evil.

When wil book 2 be out?

2012 Amy, it's called insurgent , i really enjoyed that book and was surprised to find out the author was so young well more jealous than surprised ;)

[Irina]

Mountain Kat: i finished reading Exclusively Yours and In Bed with a Highlander The former was a ok read for me since im not much for family stories.. but the latter just blew me away! i am in love with the Mccabe brothers! i can't wait to get to Alaric and Caelen's story (especially Caelan ;) Feisty ones are my fav!)

[Shell]

Erin, I finished . It was great! Now I've got to find the next books in the series. I hope the library has more copies than the 1 Dark Prince book. Thanks for the rec!

[AlbertaJenn]

Sandy, thank you so much for your picks! I have thought about it for a while, and I think I will start with A Wallflower Christmas this month. Then I will see if I can fit another one this month. I am reading very slowly lately, so I am not sure how much I will get done.

Well, I have it coming from the inter-library share, so it is just a matter of how quickly I can get it. I am willing if it gets here on time. Don't feel the need to wait, if you have time to start go with it and I will read it when I can.

[Erin]

Shell wrote: "Erin, I finished . It was great! Now I've got to find the next books in the series. I hope the library has more copies than the 1 Dark Prince book. Thanks for the rec!"

I'm glad you liked it. It's one of my favorite series, and book 2 is among my favorites from the series.
