2012 February - Pick It For Me! Challenge

[D.G.]

Tomorrow I'll start one of my picks (I haven't had much time this month.) Let's see if I make it to the end of February!

HI Lauren, just finished , it was cute thanks for the recommendations!!

[Nancy H]

Nici,
Just finished A Piggly Wiggly Wedding by Robert Dalby. It was an easy, good read.

I think this is the last one of my Feb. picks I will be able to get in, because I have to review some YA books, but I have at least done 3 of them. I do plan to read the rest as soon as I can.

Thanks for the good recs, Nici.

@ Laura,

I've finished both rec's this month. Never Enough I enjoyed. I gave it 3 stars.

Friday Night Biteswas a good sequel to Some Girls Bite. 3 stars as well. Thanks so much for rec'ing them.

@Valerie ~Varuca~

I managed to read three boks from your picks.
- 'Seduction of a Highland Lass' was ok, but nothing special. Well at least I removed it from my tbr.
- 'The Time Traveler's Wife' was a great romance novel. Unusual premise. heartbreaking. I loved the movie, and the book was great too.
- 'Break Out' was interesting. First science fiction romance novel I read with vampires in it. :)

✓ Cupids rules! Romance abounds
Always and Forever: (a series that your pickee already loves) ~ Seduction of a Highland Lass ☆☆☆ 06.02.
✓ Screw Cupid! Who needs romance when you have books?
Single and Loving It!: (a stand-alone novel) ~ The Time Traveler's Wife ☆☆☆☆☆ 25.02.
✓ Other stuff happens in February you know - buddy reads
Black History Month: (a black cover) ~ Break Out ☆☆☆ 15.02.

I finished Rapture In death and Flat-out sexy both were nice books. Though I enjoyed better the first the second was right behind.

[Christine]

Jane(PS)

Of the recs you made for me I read:
Extreme Exposure by Pamela Clare, Rapture in Death by J.D. Robb, and Turn Coat by Jim Butcher.
I really enjoyed all three, but I think the Jim Butcher was my favorite.

I didn't get around to How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf, but I'm doing a buddy read of it for March's PIFM so you can get credit for putting it on my radar! Thanks!

[Kimmy]

Hi Nairabell, just posting now, I also finished The Trouble With Magic. :) Kimmy

[~Leslie~]

Cathy, Challenge completed!

1. The Seduction of the Crimson Rose 2/4/12 ***1/2 stars I really enjoyed this fourth installment in the series. It wrapped up some previous story lines, which was nice. Thanks for this pick!

2. The Help 2/29/12 ***** stars I really resisted this book, but I am so glad I read it. As a white southern woman, I found it challenging in many ways. But the best part was the author's note at the end. That seemed to sum up everything I felt about the story. Wonderful pick!

3. Darkness Unbound 2/9/12 ***1/2 stars I enjoyed this book, but I like alot of other urban fantasy books better. But it was a fun read. Thanks for the pick! I added more on the buddy read thread.

I was able to finish one of my recs! I read Storm Front and liked it well enough. I've heard the series gets better so I'm looking forward to continuing.

Thanks so much for picking that book for me Sallie! Who knows when I would have read it. :)

[Nairabell]

Glad you liked it! I've found myself finally getting around to pick from PIFM months after they were recommended, too.
