I just sent message to Yasmani with some picks. I saw she was currently reading Graceling (magnificent, engrossing book but longish and one where characters/world lingers). With rest of series books 500+ pages and since not finished or rated Graceling yet, wanted to ask before committing her to more of a series she may not be liking even if on to-read shelf. Offered up some lighter (in tone and in number of pages) choices.

Sorry for delay, but missed the reminder prior the message I just opened and was away over holiday at Fandomfest limping my way thru 100+ authors' book-signings (including Julie Kagaw who is on her list and this group's reads)


message 169: by Mollie! (new)

Mollie! (martygee) I'm so sorry Sheri! I didn't realize I needed to post it in here--I sent Janis a message about it though!

message 170: by Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) (last edited Jul 04, 2012 12:28PM) (new)

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) I am picking Goblin Quest (Jig the Goblin, Book 1) by Jim C. Hines Goblin Quest by Jim C. Hines for Yasmani. Author also just released all three books of trilogy (this is #1 in series) in an omnibus edition if preferred to purchase that way The Legend of Jig Dragonslayer by Jim C. Hines The Legend of Jig Dragonslayer in print version with ebooks expected.

Yup, I know. I have a warped sense of humor but this one is a personal favorite and a good change of pace after the-nothing-comparable Graceling she read.

Yes I apologize for the late reply they're cracking the whip about electronics at work; but I have so many different TBR list and so many books on each so just ahead what you want heck pick 2 for me if you want.

Thanks for picking Sappique, I've been meaning to finish this Duet!

Hey sorry I'm so late! went camping over the holiday.

No it's not that I only like 1 if I had the cash and the time I would read all 3 of the book you picked for me and the 1 Deborah.

----note to self----next time I am picking for others or for myself, check for Kindle "loan enabled" or Nook "lendme" options. Then the pair can legally loan out to each other. (Gossip Girl and Goblin Quest alas were not).

Thanks Alyssia :)


message 187: by NayNay (new)

NayNay I finished my book BEAUTIFUL DISASTER. Not as interesting as I thought it would be, and I did not like how the main characters treated each other by the end of the book I just wanted to yell STOP, all that fighting was tiring. I gave it 2 stars.

Sannie Hald (sanniehald) | 282 comments Hey all,

I just got back from Norway. I am a bit confused, but I see a book has already been picked for Pat, so I guess I do not need to or? :D ..

I get a lot of books from the library. Is that an option for you? You might want to make a TBR list of books you own or can borrow that way money is not a problem. I have done that myself.


message 190: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) Yep, I only have own books on my TBR (and others have bookshelves purposely for books owned) - it's the one I use for this :)

Oh. Sorry NayNay. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I really kinda like dysfunctional relationships (when I'm reading about them).

Don't be sorry....I read a book or two a day so hits and misses are of the norm for me. I am going to try to get to A KISS OF SHADOWS soon, Happy Reading Alyssia.

Antoinette (nette09) I completed FALLEN yesterday. Honestly I was routing for this one but I was disappointed. It started out great and totally bomb the last 5 chapters for me. I will read the next one to see if my answers will be answered because I am curious. I still gave this one 3 stars.

Hope you had a great time Sannie, I needed to pick for you. See message 119 for your choices.


message 200: by Gayatri (new)

Gayatri | 368 comments Just completed Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy, #1) by Wendy Higgins which was picked by Renee for me. I loved the book! Thanks Renee for making me read this book, because if not it would have been in my TBR list for another year or worse more than that because my TBR list is huge (for me atleast).
