November - Pick It For Me! Challenge
Reetuparna, here are my picks for you! I hope you find something you like!From Your TBR/New to You
1. The Biggest Loser - Passion Unleashed by Larissa Ione. This is the second longest book on your TBR and one I loved! This series is excellent and you gave 5 stars to the first to books, do yourself a favor and read this one too!
2. Modern Family - I just recently discovered the Kowalski Family and I fell in love! Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey is the first book in the series and I thought it was wonderful!
3. Channel Surfer - Do Over by Mari Carr, an oh so sweet and steamy story of a married couple rediscovering their love. ~sigh~
From My Read Shelf
4. Law and Order - I was surprised to see that you haven't discovered Cat and Bones yet! The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost is one of my favorites and it all begins with Halfway to the Grave. This is a series I have listened to and love in audio, I can't imagine really reading them now. I have to warn you though, there is quite a cliffhanger at the end of the first book, I went straight into the second just to find out what happened!
5. Dancing with the Stars - I didn't notice any Romantic Suspense on your shelf and thought I would suggest an excellent book here, it is the beginning of a really good series, but I think the first book is my favorite so far. The Darkest Hour by Maya Banks introduces us to the Kelly brothers - I want one for my very own!
6. That's So Raven - I am not a big reader of YA, but I did read and enjoy Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles, maybe you will too.
Buddy Reads
7. The Amazing Race - In Bed with a Highlander by Maya Banks. I am reading this for another discussion the middle of the month and I know that a couple of others are doing a buddy read of this one beginning on the 7th. I was planning on joining them, it could be a fun group read! And who wouldn't want to go to Scotland and find themselves a Highlander!?
8. My Favorite Channel is... - I hate to say how easy this is for me - any channel that shows sports! And since I have read all of these books, it's not really a buddy read opportunity, although I honestly wouldn't mind a reread (Or re-listen in my case since I believe these books are best in audio!) if I can fit it in. I am going to suggest the Chicago Stars series by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. This is a series based on a fictitious Chicago football team and football is my favorite sport! In fact I am trying to get my picks up before the games start today! =) You have read a couple of them, but not the first, the first book is It Had to Be You. I thought it was funny and sweet, I love SEP and her characters! If you are more interested in car racing, this is another favorite book/series of mine - Flat-Out Sexy is the first in the Fast Track series by Erin McCarthy and it is my favorite! The way the hero falls for the heroine just makes me melt!

How about we aim for mid-month, around the 15th? That will give me time to stick to my promise to myself to finish a few already started series before I start a new one. We can pick a more precise date when we get closer.

Thank you for the suggestions! Sorry I didn't get back for a couple days... lots going on this Halloween weekend! I barely got on to make my own recommendations yesterday.
Anyways! I love all the books you gave me, such great diversity which I really appreciate! I have no idea what I'm going to read first, but I'm going to try to fit in as many as I can, (it's the busy time of the semester so it might not be much), I picked up Hounded today for a dollar since I saw it and I already have several of the others you recommended. I'll look through those first and see if I can find the others around! :) Thanks!

Hi Laurie, thanks for my picks! You did a great job. I usually try to pick one from each group. So here goes:FROM MY TBR
The Strange Case of Finley JayneI need a short one this month and I've been interested in reading this.
FROM YOUR READ PILE
Under Her SkinI have never read this author and she is obviously very popular.
BUDDY READ(only if you want)
The Madness of Lord Ian MackenzieI have been dying to read this book. I will read whether or not you want to do it as a buddy read. I have read some of her other books. So excited!
TO READ

So sorry for you."We ended up with well over a foot of snow and we're still without power. But while I'm here at my sister's house (we have no water either), I'll what I can do for Tiffany.

O.o I have daughter of smoke and bone recommended too! I might have to join in on your buddy read
I have daughter of smoke and bone on reserve at the library if it comes in, I might join in
i requested the audiobook from the library but its on-order, so I don't know when it'll come in...have to wait and see - it got good reviews from ppl on Amazon and i'm planning on using it for my around the world in 80 books challenge because I haven't hit czechosolvakia yet
Photojim I will be posting your picks this afternoon =)
JoJo, I hope you find something that you would like to read from this list.
From their TBR/new to them
1. The Biggest Loser - Tell Me No Lies by Elizabeth Lowell was on your list with a whopping 576 pages. Also on your TBR list, and a little more svelte at 432 pages is Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. I could have easily picked that for Modern Family, too, as it's a favorite of mine.
2. Modern Family - Can't Stand The Heat by Louisa Edwards is a fun contemporary about a chef and a food critic forced to pay penance by working in his restaurant. The food critic heroine has a gay brother, too. If you want to get really out of your usual, False Colors by Alex Beecroft is not a contemporary, but a historical m/m romance which I absolutely loved.
3. Channel Surfer - From your TBR, I found this short story collection: Sugarplums and Scandal: All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth / Lords of Misrule / Ghost of Christmas Passed / Partners in Crime / Holly Go Lightly / Very Vampy Christmas or you could read a short novella by Courtney Milan, an author not on your TBR. Unlocked is on Kindle for $0.99 and it is a wonderful short book about a wallflower spinster who is horrified when the man who tormented her and ruined her debut season comes back to England. It is a grovel fest as he tries to make it up to her. Highly recommended.
From your read
4. Law and Order (in all its iterations) - Where to begin with recommending series?! I could go on and on. In looking through your TBR, I see you are a big fan of mysteries and paranormals. For a great mystery series, and one that's already on your TBR, try A is for Alibi. Two great paranormal series you might like to try - Bitten is the first in Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. It's about a werewolf pack and the heroine is very pissed that the hero bit her! The other books in the series are about witches, demons, etc. Darkfever is the first in Karen Marie Moning's series about the fae. Don't expect a true HEA as the author taunts us with the relationship with Barron throughout the books.
5. Dancing with the Stars - - False Colors, the m/m historical mentioned above, would be different for you. Also, I see you like some lighter mysteries, but haven't read anything by Alexander McCall Smith. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is the first of his series set in Botswana. Precious Ramotswe is a lady of "traditional build", sort of Miss Marple in Africa.
6. That's So Raven - White Cat by Holly Black is about a young man in boarding school. He's from a family of curse workers -- sort of mobsters who can cast spells on people, including wiping their memories. Great book with a unique set up.
7. The Amazing Race - Italy! I just finished Your Scandalous Ways by Loretta Chase and it's set in Venice. I saw you have some read Loretta Chase, and have more of hers on your TBR, so I think you might really enjoy this one. The heroine is a courtesan, and the hero a spy. Very fun, and kind of a different book for her.
8. My Favorite Channel is... - HBO. I would highly recommend A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. It's a fantasy book -- think Lord of the Rings, except with sex, incest and a wonderfully sarcastic dwarf prince character. It's a doorstop of a book, so if you dive into this one, count it for your Biggest Loser read, too! Also, True Blood is loosely based on Charlaine Harris's series, and Dead Until Dark is the first.
Le me know if you need any new picks. Enjoy!

OK no problem until the middle of the month then.
Penney, a foot of snow?! In October?! Holy crap!Tiffany, it's all good. I look forward to whatever you pick for me.
PhotoJim! Here are you picks. I hope that you find something from the list that you would like to read. If not, just let me know =)1. Biggest Loser:
Blood and Gold
The MacKade Brothers: Rafe and Jared
The MacKade Brothers: Devin and Shane *I couldn't choose between The MacKade Brothers. I loved Devin's story the most, and then Rafe's. Overall, though I really liked these two books.
2. Modern Family:
Rough, Raw, and Ready
3. Channel Surfer:
The Guy Next Door
Night Play
4. Law and Order:
This first group of books by Lora Leigh are the Elite Ops Series.
Maverick, Black Jack, Renegade, Heat Seeker, Wild Card, Live Wire
The second set is by Sydney Croft. I really like this series, its paranormal, however it's not your typical werewolf, vampire, demon stuff.
Riding the Storm, Unleashing the Storm, Seduced by the Storm, Taming the Fire, Tempting the Fire, Taken by Fire
5. Dancing with the Stars:
The Regent's Knight
6. That's So Raven:
Delirium * I picked this one because it has a similar dystopian feel that The Hunger Games had.
7. The Amazing Race:
The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf * I choose this one because I read the one before it, and it was surprisingly really really funny. I'm looking forward to reading this one. Oh, and it takes place in Alaska, which I know is not another country, but it would still be really exciting to visit.
Every Last Kiss * This one takes place in Rome
8. My Favorite Channel:
This one was tough because I don't really have a favorite channel or anything. The book I chose is part of the Grimm Series by Shiloh walker. She takes different fairy tales and gives their origins a different spin that's really interesting.
No Prince Charming
Candy Houses
That is definately okay! I completely understand. =)Penney wrote: "Tiffany, Sorry it's not been a good day. We're in the middle of an early snow storm (which is just all shades of wrong) and our power is out. I'm using my iPad to quickly jot this note, but I hav..."
Hi Tiffany!! Finally, I'm here so let's get this party started...From Your TBR:
1. The Biggest Loser ~ The Help, Loved, Loved, Loved this book! Starcrossed This one looked really good and had very good reviews.
2. Modern Family ~ If you'd like a contemporary go with My One and Only, I really enjoy Kristan Higgins writing, it's funny and sweet at the same time. If you'd like alternate lifestyles try Faith & Fidelity, a great m/m book or jump into the bdsm lifestyle with Wicked Ties.
3. Channel Surfer ~ Supernatural, Larisa Ione, G.A. Aiken, just to name a few of the great authors collaborating on this anthology. If you want something super short try the prequel to Edge of Sight, Taken to the Edge only had 23 pages. But if that's too few to satisfy go with Master of the Mountain.
From My Reads
4. Law and Order ~ A series that sticks to the Law and Order them and is very long running starts with Naked in Death. If that's not your thing Midnight Man is more along the lines of Erotic Suspense, very hot! Or go for a popular favorite, Darkfever
5. Dancing With the Stars ~ You're like me, you have a very ecclectic taste in books, so I'm not sure how 'out of your comfort zone' these books will be. Let's start with a historical since I don't see too many of those on your list. Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake is a good place to start. Comfort Food is probably out of everyones comfort zone, but it's a truly profound read and well worth it. I just finished Fifty Shades of Grey and fell in love with two flawed but very intriguing characters.
6. That's so Raven ~ You have much more experience with YA than I do, but here are two you haven't read that are currently on my TBR: Perfect Chemistry and Poison Study
Buddy Reads
7. The Amazing Race ~ I would love to visit Prague someday so if you're interested you can read Daughter of Smoke and Bone with me this month.
8. My Favorite Channel is... I don't really have one because I'm constantly flipping through them. But let's just say it's Animal Planet and we can read a a sexy shifter story, Bear Necessities.
Obviously I had a hard time making decisions so I hope you find something you like.
Happy Reading!!

Let's see...
I have a thing about reading books in order so I might make a couple of minor adjustments.
Lots of good choices here.
I have all the LL Elite Ops books sitting here waiting to be read. Just never got around to it.
I have the MacKade books sitting here.
I'd like to read the next Rough Riders book.
I've heard really good things about the first Naked Werewolf books but would be starting with the first.
The Grimm Circle series looks good.
The ACRO series looks good too.
So many good choices!
Which one to pick? It will come down to what all I can find and what hits my fancy when I pick them up. I can guarantee that I'll be reading The Guy Next Door as my wife tells me that I really need to read the Donovan Bros short story before I read the third book of the Donovan Bros trilogy. Since I bought that yesterday and will most likely be reading it this week, I'll probably start that this week. After that, I'll see but I'll read at least one more.

I'm so glad you liked them Laurie! Let me know if you want to do a buddy read this month :)
Penney, Thank you for the awesome picks. I'm going to have to get back with you about the buddy read. I will most likely be able to do it when my students are on Thanksgiving Break, if you are willing to wait that long. If not, I completely understand.

Sue,
If you let me know when you pick up Carbs and cadavers, I will be happy to do a Buddy Read for that one with you. I have it, so just let me know when you want to start. I think it is going to be good.

I read all sorts of stuff too so I always like to recommend different genres...that way you can read whatever catches your fancy! After I finished the recs, I felt bad I didn't recommend any mysteries (I saw your post about how much you like them) and I'm a big mystery reader too. :)
I almost never can read more than one book so no worries if you can fit only one - your studies must come first. ;)

Mandy, Sorry this took me so long...Picks for Mandy in November
From their TBR/new to them
1. The Biggest Loser - recommend a long book from their TBR Is 360 pages long? That’s the longest book in your TBR that I’ve read and can recommend. Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas and a close second on length was The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt. I loved them both, but the second one more.
2. Modern Family - recommend a contemporary book Wolf at the Door by Christine Warren These books are quick funny reads! Really enjoyed them!
3. Channel Surfer - recommend an anthology, a book of short stories, or a short book of their TBR (for those of us with really short attention spans) Wild & Steamy by Meljean Brook et al. I haven’t read this, but added it to my TBR since it has authors I’ve read and enjoyed.
From your read
4. Law and Order (in all its iterations) - in honor of one of the longest running series on TV, recommend a new to them series that you have read and enjoyed The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig. These are similar to the books you’re read by Tasha Alexander, but I thought they were even better.
5. Dancing with the Stars - recommend a book that is out of your partners comfort zone Long Hard Rideby Lorelei James. This one contains a lot of sex, some of it beyond mainstream, so it may be outside your comfort range.
6. That's So Raven - recommend a YA or a book where a child/ren play a significant role First Truth by Dawn Cook. This is the first in a series of four, wonderful fantasy story!
Buddy Reads
7. The Amazing Race - recommend a book in a country you would love to visit in the future. I would love to visit Scotland! In Bed with a Highlander
8. My Favorite Channel is... - recommend a book that relates in some way to your favorite TV channel - for example, if you like the Speed network, recommend a book with a car racer; or LifetimeTV - a women's lit/chick lit. For those of you who don't watch TV much now, recommend a book based on a TV channel or show that you used to watch. I don’t watch any TV anymore but the last series I did watch was True Blood. Therefore, I’m recommending a book with vampires in it – Heartless I see you’ve read the others so time to get the series up-to-date. If you want to do it as a buddy read, I need to wait until later in the month, because I need to read Blameless first.

The picks are perfect. Thank you so much and let me know if you want to Buddy Read [book:In Bed with a Highlander. I love Highlanders and Maya Banks is one of my favorites.
Hi Cathy! Thanks for the picks! I'm going to read *deep breath* Wolf at the Door, Mine Till Midnight, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, Long Hard Ride, AND In Bed with a Highlander. Whew. Thanks again for the great recs!
FranHi! According to GR, our reading tastes is 92% similar. That is both a good and a bad thing. : )
Delving into your bookshelves, I can see we almost have the same pattern, very eclectic book choices. Anyway, I'll see what I can do to make November a good PIFM challenge for you. :)
1. The Biggest Loser: The longest book in your TBR is Meyer's The Host. Unfortunately, I haven't read it, but it has good reviews, so maybe it will be worth a chance. On the other hand, Feehan'sMurder Game is near the top also. I think it's about time you continue with the Ghostwalkers series with hot, sexy Kadan (one of my fave GW).
2. Modern Family:
For the contemporary choice, Crusie's
Welcome to Temptation is my rec. Funny, witty and filled with eccentric characters. For an alternate lifestyle, I recommend a novella called Kept, exploring the idea of a sugar daddy relationship and a little 'spanking' action. : )
3. Channel Surfer:
A favorite sexy anthology of mine is Wild, Wicked, & Wanton. Pretty hot in my opinion, so I think you will have fun.
4. Law and Order:
Hmm...I have to dig a little deeper to find a series that I enjoyed and that is new to you. I settled with the epic romantic fantasy of C.L.Wilson's Tairen Soul series, starting with Lord of the Fading Lands. Don't let the cheesy covers discourage you, and the whole series is complete, so if you like the first one, there will be no waiting involved.
5. Dancing with the Stars:
Hmm...something outside of your comfort zone? Considering your eclectic bookshelf, I don't think there is anything outside your comfort zone....LOL...Anyway, here are my choices: Gabriel's Ghost by Linnea Sinclair (romantic scienc fiction) and Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity (Totally left field, i know, but its a fast-paced book with a good romance in it...yes I said romance...)
6. That's so Raven: The last YA book I read was Hand's Unearthly. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. Hope you will feel the same way.
7. Tha Amazing Race: I've always wanted to visit Ireland, so I'm going to recommend Nora Robert's Jewels of the Sun, first book in her Irish trilogy.
8. My Favorite Channel: Lately I spent more time watching cooking shows and cooking competitions, so I'm going to recommend books with food and food preparers. Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate is considered a classic and a good example of magical realism. Just like comfort food, I also have comfort reads. Jayne Ann Krentz is an author I pick up when I'm feeling blue, and her books always comforts me. Here are two favorite oldies: Family Man (heroine wants to own a pesto business) and Trust Me (heroine is a wedding caterer).
Well, I hope I have given you enough diversity to choose from. Unfortunately, due to my limited time, I won't be able to do any buddy reads. : ( Maybe next time.
Happy reading!

Do you want to do [book:In Bed with a Highlander as a buddy read?
If anyone is interested, we've set up a buddy read for Succubus on Top
, the second Georgina Kincaid book by Richelle Mead. The plan is to start this week.Here's the link
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6...
Sure! If you don't mind waiting. I just ordered it from amazon. They're saying delivery will be the 4th-9th.

Oh Debbie you posted my picks 8 hours ago and I already checked a hundred times in this period and didn't saw them until now !! that was so frustrating :) ... so perfect these picks I'm having a hard time to chose which I'm going to read this month. I'll have to think more and I'll post tomorrow the list :)
Lexa--Thanks for the thoughtful picks. I think that I'll try Virgin River; cozy sounds good, and I haven't found a great contemporary romance in awhile. I'm also putting Divergent on my to-read list, but will probably get to that one another month. Thanks again!

Thanks for the great pics Yz!!
OK, let's see...so many good choices. I need to read Murder Game and Like Water for Chocolate for other challenges so they have a good shot at this month. I checked on my kindle because Kept sounded familiar and I have it already so that's a good bet too. I've already read Wild, Wicked, & Wanton and I agree, it's great! I've never read anything by Jayne Ann Krentz so I am very interested in Family Man and I've already put in an interlibrary request for it. So....I will see how many of these great choices I can get to this month.
Thanks again for the great choices. I love that you noticed that not much is out of my comfort zone, LOL!
Hey Fran - let me know if you read Kept, 'cos I might join you... I have that one waiting to read as well :)
I would love to read it together Jane! Let me know as the month shapes up when you can fit it in :)
I've opened a thread for a buddy/group read of In Bed with a Highlander for anyone who is interested - the more the merrier! :)The thread can be found here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6...
Great - I'll be in touch Fran :) Thanks Yz!
I've opened a thread for the buddy read Mounika and I will be doing for

Crossed I'm already going to pick up when it comes out so that will be great!! TY!! I'll let you know what else I swoop up. Most likely those and also The Host since I know its at my bookstore nearby.
P.S. Anyone know who I'm suppose to pick for? I'm the LAST person on the list. But both people on the top are checked off. So do I just not pick for anybody?

Thanks for explaining it to me. I will be happy to help with re-picks as well. Hopefully I won't need it for myself (fingers crossed)!
