Breann,

Finished my first pick last night! Liked it a lot...plus it gave us a sneak peak to Up From the Grave!!!

On to my second pick!

Yay! I need to get to that one too :) Glad to know it's good!

Irina--

I finished reading --my first PIFM book this month-- Wednesday night and LOVED it. I had a hard time putting it down and read it in a 2-day period. Thanks for the great pick.

Skandia,

Just finished Me Before You and LOVED it! Couldn't stop crying by the last three chapters, but I really needed a good cry. It's a sweet, realistic, funny and emotional love story. Thanks for pushing me to read it, became an instant favorite!

Sallie(Shuga)
I finished
It was good but not as good as the other two you recommended that I read last week.
If you haven't read it yet...I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed Elly in Bloom I hope you do too!

Ruby:

I just finished my first pick, Rock Chick and it was great! I've been hearing about this series for a long time, so I'm glad that I finally got the push to read it.

Now on to picking the next book. :)

I'm glad you liked it! This really is one of the best romance books I have read.

Rebecca,

I finished my pick last night. Liked it a lot, I gave it a four out of five stars. Thanks for helping me get it off my tbr.

Brittany, I finished Archangel's Storm today and it was yet another great book in the series! Thanks for the pick :) I don't know if I would have gotten to it otherwise.

Hi Regina, I finished my second pick last night and my third pick today. Come A Little Bit Closer was another solid entry in a series that I really enjoy, and Delicate Freakn' Flower was so funny - I loved it! Thanks for the great recommendations!

Dawn,
Finished my third pick Enchanted Inc. and I thought it was a cute, fluffy read. 3 stars and I will be continuing with the series.

I finished Easy. I really liked it! I read it one day! Very difficult subject matter, very well-written with interesting characters. Thank you for the rec, Hina!

Hi Jane, I finished . It was a sweet story, I gave it 3 stars. I started reading and should be done with that tomorrow. Thanks!

Dawn,
Read my fourth pick. Immortal Rider. It wasent my favorite but I am glad I finally read it. It has been on my TBR list for a long time. My goal this month is to read all of your 8 picks. So yay half way there.

Glad you enjoyed it Nichole :) Hope you enjoy Archangel's Kiss even more!

Here are your picks. I hope you can find something you like. You have a lot of great-looking reads on your To-Read shelf, but it was difficult to get them to..."

Nancy, I finished . I must admit that I didn't enjoy it. I was more lusty sex than true romance but I'm glad I tried it after hearing so much about it. I think I don't like groupie stories (sports, bikers, etc). But I will try Sinners 2 to see if it gets better for me.

Thank you for this book recommendation.

Just finished A Kiss at Midnight. Really liked both Kate and her godmother Henry. Going to try and read at least one more before the end of the month. Thanks for the recommendation! I've added the next one to my TBR.

I'm glad you liked it Pam! I liked the next one even more!

Hi Brittany, I finished another pick, A Troubled Range, very sweet romance! Thanks :)

I finished a book Jim picked for me in the wee, wee hours of this morning - Game for Seduction. It was good and certainly steamy! Thanks Jim for the pick!

Nadine, finished my first pick When you Give A Duke A Diamond. I give it 4. stars. I really loved this book I enjoyed the story n loved the charactors even if at times I wanted to smack Will. I'm looking forward to the next in this series.,

Fran & Penney, I finished my second pick for this month - yesterday night. I loved it! Thanks for the push. I'm definitely picking up the next book in the series - wanted to do it now but I have two other chunkies lined up.

Fran, I have with me and ready to start anytime. Let me know

Jane, I finished my second pick and of course it was great. I should be able to get at least one more in before the end of the month.

Irina--

I finished my second PIFM challenge book this month, . It was very funny, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the great recommendation.

Glad this one worked for you :) Good luck with fitting in a third book!

I finished my first pick . This was an ok read, 3 stars, but feels like reading the same story by Nicholas Sparks all over again. His style and settings are so similar that the books seem to blend in one.

I am glad you liked it Sandy!

Hi Vi,

A glad you liked Dragonfly In Amber :)

I can start E&P whenever you want - how about tomorrow? Do you want to just PM each other when we are done or start a buddy read thread?

Hey Brandilyn --

I finished up But for You today. I'm a big fan of Mary Calmes, but I wish it had all gone down a little differently...maybe for the book to be a little more exciting. Overall, though, still an enjoyable story! 3 stars.

Hi Kristi

I have been having problems with my internet at home, and I have been just too busy at work to update as much as I can. So now here I am doing all of them at once.

I have read: which I absolutely love love. I want to go back and read it one more time. But I also want to read the next one in the series. 5 Stars!

was really good, but I rarely have had a book from Nora Roberts that I didn't fall in love with and I just love all the brothers and can't wait to read about Owen and Ryder. (4 stars)

was good as well, some stories I just loved and others were meh... (4 Stars)

was good as well, I have read the last book in the series like a year or two ago and now after reading this one, the other books makes better sense, so I might read everything in order. (4 Stars)

If I get a chance, I will try to squeeze in some more books from the list, probably

Thanks for the recs! Congrats to all the finishers

My PIFM books since the last update:

Round Ireland with a Fridge - amusing, but not as LOL as I was expecting. Maybe because it was lost in translation from Brit/Irish humor vs across the pond type humor. Either way, still a nice read

Naked in Death - promising start to the series, will continue it, despite the annoying Nora-isms. would like to see more development btwn Eve/Roarke (of course!). Listened to the audio for the first 75%, read the last. While the narrator wasn't bad, I kept wondering how Robert Petkoff could've done the Irish accent...

Thanks for the recs, Dee!

done:

damn Ty - you've read 3 and I haven't even started yet...lol! Susan Erickson grows on you as a narrator - wait until you meet Peabody and McNabb

Wow, you're doing great this month, Hina! I haven't even started my first pick, yet. I need to get going! Glad you found a few that you liked. ;-)

Inge, I am so glad you put seduction and snacks on the picks! I loved the book, I laughed so much! I have also finished out of her league! I really enjoyed it too.

I ready for the buddy read whenever you are!

I absolutely ADORE that series. The cover for the next book was just released , I'm sooooooo excited!

Hi Jennie ,
I'm so glad you are enjoying your picks. I would love to do the buddy read but am studying for a test right now and I know that if I pick up a book I will be done with the studying. I can do the buddy read after April 19, let me know if you are still interested.

Fran, sorry I just checked this thread. We can start tomorrow, Wednesday. Does that work?

Penney, I was a little apprehensive about continuing the series. This book convinced me to. I'll definitely be picking up the next book in the series soon!

Vi wrote: "Fran, sorry I just checked this thread. We can start tomorrow, Wednesday. Does that work?"

Sure, that's fine with me :)

ha! I finished the 4th last night - Caught Running. Very cute story. Boys in tights! Yum.

Hello there Jane !

Finished Love Irresistibly a few days ago! I loved it (well, I kinda knew even before I read it because Julie James is truly spectacular!) I rated it 5 stars. Right now, I'm reading Beautiful Bastard. I'm almost done actually, since I started it a few days ago (I was in Beijing and GR is not accesible there... BOO)

I have to admit when I first read DFiA, i didn't enjoy it all that much - it wasn't until I did a re-read/re-listen a few years ago, that I realized how much the story it in influenced the later books

Breann,

Finished my second pick , I liked it!

Going well Tiff! :)

Jojo - I finished - really fun cute romp! I'm so pleased I have now finally read a book by this author. I'll either try or by her next, not necessarily this month.

In the meantime, I've started :)

I finished my third pick, .

4 Stars. I love the banter between all of the charactors.

Breann,

Finished my third pick ...I am so glad I finally read this! It was so good!! Definitely continuing the series!!!

Thanks again for the great picks!!

I can't remember if I posted this or not... but I finished a second pick, . I didn't get as much Qhuinn and Blay as I expected, but I did like their story. The book had way too many POVs and storylines, though. Still, I'll always pick up a new BDB book!

Erin,

I finished and really enjoyed it. Thanks for recommending.
