Since there are no books in you to-read I was going blind but I heard good things about so I thought this might be a good one for you to read. Your back up is . Hope you enjoy them.

Good reading.

[Cathy]

Melissa, thanks for the picks.
I just finished reading A Kingdom of Dreams today and it was very good. So I'll read In Bed with a Highlander and Just Like Heaven for my November picks.

[Katy]

Ingrid, there are actually a few in my TBR list, BUT, I've been eyeballing that Ann Rule book, so I will read that one. Thanks for picking for me!

EDIT: Actually, both books look very interesting. I think I'll keep the other one in my head as well. Thanks again!

I was having a blond moment. I see you to-read list now :) Sorry.

Okay. We only have 2 more people left who need their books chosen. Any more volunteer 'pickers'?

[Jaime]

Thanks Cindy all three books look fantastic!

I'll help pick again.

I'm in for moderate paranormal romance. Anyone can pick for me, I'm just looking forward to some new insight into my reading enjoyment.

Well since I just volunteered to pick for someone else. Lorinda if you don't mind, here are a few of my favorites. Hope you haven't read them:)

I've picked Villette as I like the Bronte sisters but haven't read this one. Would like to hear what you think.
Your backup book is For Whom the Bell Tolls. You have a very impressive to read before you die list of the classics. Happy Reading!!

Thanks Jaime for the picks. Those are fine selections 2 of which keep getting shuffled around my TBR mountain even though I really want to read them. LoL!

[DJ =^^=]

Hi! Just joined the group. Is it too late to join this challenge?
I would like easy. My genre to read would be cozy mystery or just mystery.

[~Jennifer~]

Sure thing Deb. I've picked 2 out for you. One from your TBR list and one I've read. You can choose the one that you like!

&

Let me know if they don't work for you and I'll choose two more!

[DJ =^^=]

Thanks Jennifer. I do have On what grounds on my TBR list. But I think I will go with both selections. :) I am going to look for the book you suggested on Amazon Kindle.

Well I can say that I have just finished reading my three recommended books, bitten, moon called and half way to the grave. I have to say Don't know which one i like better they were all awesome. I do have to say mercy is wonderful in her greasy glory and the way it was writen left me moving on to other books in the series. half way to the grave also has me reading other books about bones and cat. I just am speechless about how much i enjoyed the werewolf and vampire books. I have not read these types of books before, always more angel and demon, but i think a switch is now in order.

If anyone else wants to recommend any other books or authors that might be a good read i am open for any more suggestions. and cant wait to read more about mercedes, cat and bones. the bitten book was a slow starter but ended very strong and i enjoyed reading about her personal struggle with the pack and being bitten. however it ended without full closure for me. I hope there is a another to round it out.

Check out J R Ward -vampire series ~fabulous and - angel series ~ awesome!! These are the first of these series...

[[deleted user]]

The wimp in me won out. I wasn't particularly enjoying the books (paranormal is just not my genre) but then it got scary and I REALLY didn't like them then. I tried, which is more than I thought I could do. That was the whole point of me taking on this challenge, reading something I definitely wouldn't pick up for myself. I may not have finished but I did try. :-)

Dani, maybe try or instead ~ the Ilona Andrews book has a lot of world building just so you know. They have less "scare factor" I thought than KMM if you want to give another go......

Deb, What is the Pagan Stone series and who is it by, never heard of it? Should it be added to my ever growing tbr pile,lol
Glad your liking BDB series - any favorite characters yet?

[Deb, Acquisitions Foreman]

I'm not too far into it yet, so I'm still absorbing the characters.

The series I refer to as 'The Pagan Stone' series is actually called "Sign of Seven". A trilogy by Nora Roberts.

Thanks Melissa! I just went to the library last night (bah!) but I'll see if it has these and swipe them off the shelves on Saturday. Scare factor is definitely not my thing. World building I can handle.

[Deb, Acquisitions Foreman]

A few of them. I just LOVE her books! Too many books to read...too little time!

I hope you like them, i don't remember either of these being very scary - however this is the girl who used to read Stephen King and Dean Koontz in my late teens☺ It by Stephen King still gives me the creeps however i'm better at reading them than going to the movie -then I'm a huge wimp,lol

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

almost done with my book! Woohoo- It's great!

[~Melissa~]

Finished my book. It was ok; didn't love it/didn't hate it. Glad I read it as I kept picking it up every time I saw it at the library or bookstore,lol.

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

finished mine, and I adore it!

[Rebecca]

I have finished Kitty and the Midnight Hour and i will be starting Succubus Blues next

[Arlene]

So I finished tainted and even though it was hard to get into I loved it by the end which doesn't really surprise me because I like Julie Kenner books!
