Christina  (christinaovallsbooks) | 351 comments For Shelby

Authors we are thankful for: Recommend a book by one of your favorite author and a book by one of your pickee's favorites too.
From your TBR: A Touch of Midnight. I love this author and am working my way through her series.
From your TBR: Possession. This one is next up in your series!

Books you are thankful for: Select from your favorite books, one new and one from their TBR for your pickee.
From your TBR: Throne of Glass. This one got me out of my reading funk recently. I loved it so much that I'm on the 3rd book right now.
New to You: Skinwalker. Definitely worth the read. I really need to get back to this series and read the second one.

Books you are grateful were recommended to you: From books that have been suggested to you in any way, not just the PIFM, pick one new and one from your pickee's TBR that you were very glad you read.
New to You: The Line This was a very good story about a group of witches in Savannah, GA.
New to You: Dragon Bound. Awesomely hot alpha male!

Series you can't get enough of: Select a book from one of your favorite series (can be one they read too) for your pickee and also one from one of their favorite series.
From your TBR: Moon Called This is one of my favorite series right now. I swear that when I pick up one of her books, I can't put it down. Her Alpha and Omega books are very good too. They are like a spin-off from this series.
Magic Bites. I love this entire series. They are awesome in audio too.
Some Girls Bite. One of my favorites.
First Grave on the Right. Something for you to try. It's got a few funny parts to it and it's a pretty good series.
It looked like you were up to date on most of your favorite series, but I did find that you haven't started Last Kiss Goodnight. You seem to really love her other series.

message 158: by Grace (new)

Grace | 1652 comments Hi Joyce! Sorry for not getting these up sooner, but life happened. I leaned pretty heavy on paranormal picks, but I figured that was okay because we both picked that group:)

Authors we are thankful for:
a. Fated or Forgotten Sins by Rebecca Zanetti (New) Fated is a vampire series I really enjoy. The first one was good, but the series gets really good as you progress. Forgotten Sins is a romantic suspense book with paranormal/sci-fi elements in that I really enjoyed.
b. Obsidian Butterfly by Laurell K. Hamilton (TBR) She was one of your most read authors and most of her books had a high rating, so I'm guessing she's a favorite.
c. Passion Unleashed by Larissa Ione (TBR) You loved the first two in the series, and this was my favorite. I have to admit I love a reformed bad boy!

Books you are thankful for:
a. Darkness Dawns by Dianne Duvall (New) Another good vampire series I really enjoy.
b. Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright (New) This is a werewolf romance and is more of an erotic romance. I love the heroine in the story; she's a sassy and sarcastic, two things I love in heroines.
b. Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh (TBR) Love, love this series.
c. Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon (TBR) One of my favorites from this series.

Books you are grateful were recommended to you:
a. Shifting Dreamsby Elizabeth Hunter (New) This is a shapeshifter story that is heavy on the mystery. It was a really good start to the series.
b. Pride Mates by Jennifer Ashley (New)-Shapeshifter story I enjoyed.
c. Alpha & Omega and Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs(TBR) I was so glad this series was recommended to me! Alpha and Omega is a short story that is in On the Prowl. I think it is pretty important to read before the first book, but you can just start with Cry Wolf.
d. Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost (TBR) Another author who was recommend to me that I love.

Series you can't get enough of:
a. Defying the Odds by Kele Moon (New) This is a contemporary romance and may be a long shot, but I loved this series. She is one of my favorite authors.
b. Bunny and the Bear by Eve Langlais (New) This is a light hearted, funny shapeshifter romance. I can always count on Eve Langlais to make me laugh.
c. Atlantis Rising by Alyssa Day (TBR) This was an interesting take on Atlantis and Greek mythology.
d. Storm's Heart by Thea Harrison (TBR) I loved the first book in the series!

I hope you find something to enjoy. Let me know which one you pick.

Fated (Dark Protectors, #1) by Rebecca Zanetti Forgotten Sins (Sin Brothers, #1) by Rebecca Zanetti Obsidian Butterfly (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #9) by Laurell K. Hamilton Passion Unleashed (Demonica, #3) by Larissa Ione Darkness Dawns (Immortal Guardians, #1) by Dianne Duvall Feral Sins (The Phoenix Pack, #1) by Suzanne Wright Caressed by Ice (Psy-Changeling, #3) by Nalini Singh Night Play (Were-Hunter, #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon Shifting Dreams (Cambio Springs, #1) by Elizabeth Hunter Pride Mates (Shifters Unbound, #1) by Jennifer Ashley Alpha & Omega (Alpha & Omega, #0.5) by Patricia Briggs Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1) by Patricia Briggs Twice Tempted (Night Prince, #2) by Jeaniene Frost Defying the Odds (Battered Hearts, #1) by Kele Moon Bunny and the Bear (Furry United Coalition, #1) by Eve Langlais Atlantis Rising (Warriors of Poseidon, #1) by Alyssa Day Storm's Heart (Elder Races, #2) by Thea Harrison

Fran, I'll second the recommendation of The Rosie Project. It's a little longer than what I know you like, but not horribly long, and so worth it...so quirky and fun!

Such great picks, Kat!

I'm definitely going with Echoes of Scotland Street. I recommended for ~KarenH~ too, so maybe we can all buddy read that one!

Definitely, I'll go with one of the Lisa Marie Rice books since I've never read her before. I'll see what they have at the library.

Then you've really screwed me. LOL, I will continue on with Lucky Harbor. I'm not sure where I am there, but I'll go with the next one.

I've been putting off reading that last rough riders book because it's the last :( But I guess it's time to bite the bullet.

I've got Siren Reborn ready to go, Full throttle, and I think I"ll try Do Over....


Basically, it looks like I'll be try to read every last freakin' book you've listed. LMAO, I guess I really don't need to sleep or feed my children, or sustain gainful employment. ;)

Nan (xxmzsmilesxx) | 84 comments ~Leslie~
Ohhh, interesting picks.
I'm definitely committed to Mind Game and Kiss of Midnight, because its been ages since I've read a good PNR!
If I do get the chance, I will also try Jill Shalvis's book, Simply Irresistible because that's an author that I have never really heard of.

I've added all other books that you've recommended to me, that weren't on my TBR list!

Thanks Leslie!

Tara For Penney
Here's your picks...this was harder for me than I thought it would be, especially to find "New to You Authors" since a lot of my faves were already on your list somewhere. I also pulled some from your "To Read" and not just your PIFM shelf as I didn't know much about most on the PIFM. Let me know if you need any other options or want additional suggestions!

Authors we are Thankful For

From your list The Will by Kristen Ashley
You have read a few books already by her, but this is first in a new series. My absolute favorite author and I am thankful to her for getting me back into reading a few years ago.

New To You Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan
Not sure if you'll like this one or not...didn't see too many biker books on your list, and this one is pretty gritty/raw/rough. I've read all of the series and can honestly feel the words she has written! A book that may be a little more up your alley by the same author is The Soul Mate...I just read it recently and liked it (more paranormal/fantasy/vampire/dystopia type).

Books We Are thankful For

From your list A Beautiful Lie by T.E. Sivec
You've read some of her humor/comedy books (Tara Sivec) but I see you have a few of her drama/suspense books on your list. This was the first book I read by her and enjoyed it, and was glad to find her humor books that make me laugh my butt off!

New To You What I Didn't Say by Keary Taylor
This one was a real tear jerker for me...maybe it was some things I had going on in real life that made it so, but still! It's definitely on YA level of romance but I enjoyed the story.

Books We Are Grateful Were Recommended to you

From your list The King by J.R. Ward
A friend recommended the BDB books to me years ago...I finally, just this year, read them all...nearly back to back! You've read 1-11, so it's time for #12!

New To You When It Rains by Lisa De Jong
I saw this book on a book blog and kept seeing how touching it was and have a tissue handy....that definitely held true to me. Loved it. I just saw that were some follow up books in the series so I picked them up!

Series You Can't Get Enough Of

From your list The Saint by Tiffany Reisz.
I LOVE MISTRESS NORA & SOREN & KINGSLEY!!!! You could also read Scars and Stripes but it's so short that you may as well read the entire series 1-5 of The Last Good Knight!

New To You Kaleb by Nicole Edwards
It doesn't look like you've read any of her books, but this one was on your list...so not really "new" to you but kind of! I love her books...both her Alluring Indulgence and Club Destiny series are pretty spicy/racy! I've read nearly all her books and enjoy the style/flow of them...nice easy quick reads.

Raine (raine_renner) | 369 comments Kai ~

Here are your pics:

1. Authors we are thankful for:
Playing for Keeps by R.L. Mathewson (NEW) - Since you like humor and this is also on your TBR, but looks like you haven't had a chance to read this author.
In Bed with a Highlander by Maya Banks (TBR) - On your pile to read, but looks like you've already read and liked this author.
Playing for Keeps (Neighbor from Hell, #1) by R.L. Mathewson In Bed with a Highlander (McCabe Trilogy, #1) by Maya Banks

2. Books you are thankful for:
Rock Chick Rescue by Kristen Ashley (NEW) - One of my favorite books in this series. I know I started with the 2nd one, but I liked it more than the first (you can always go back and read the first) and I don't think it will confuse you to start with this one. Though my absolute favorite in this series is the 7th book Rock Chick Regret, but that made me cry and this one has a little bit more humor in it. KA is one of my favorite authors. I noticed that you have a bunch of her books on your TBR and I hope you read them sooner than later.
A Week to Be Wicked by Tessa Dare (TBR) - I read this book in the past and really enjoyed it. I noticed you loved the first book and hope you like the second one as well since it was also a bit funny.
Rock Chick Rescue (Rock Chick, #2) by Kristen Ashley A Week to Be Wicked (Spindle Cove) by Tessa Dare

3. Books you are grateful were recommended to you:
On Dublin Street by Samantha Young (NEW) - This was recommended to me in another PIFM challenge and I loved it.
The Bride by Julie Garwood (TBR) - One of my favorite historical books that is also funny.
On Dublin Street (On Dublin Street, #1) by Samantha Young The Bride (Lairds' Fiancées, #1) by Julie Garwood

4. Series you can't get enough of:
Axel by Harper Sloan (NEW) - I had this one on my TBR for a long while and finally read it and loved it. It is more angsty, but it is still worth a read and the first of a new series for you that I hope you like.
Hard and Fast by Erin McCarthy (TBR) - I noticed that you liked the first of this series and I read this book and liked it and thought it would be nice for you to continue this series.
Axel (Corps Security, #1) by Harper Sloan Hard and Fast (Fast Track, #2) by Erin McCarthy

Flowers from the Storm - your TBR - I love this book because both the hero and heroine are unique to me
Letters From Home - N2U - Kristina is my go-to author for heart-wrenching historical storylines

Books You Are Grateful You Were Recommended
Years - your TBR - recommended by my Mom ;) I cut my romance teeth on LaVyrle Spencer when I was a teen - I still turn to her when I want re-reads
Southern Fried Blues - N2U - recommended to me by a college roommate (who knows the author) - she is a mil wife who makes me laugh at her antics (plus we share of mutual addiction to bacon0

Series You Can't Get Enough Of
Magic Breaks - your TBR - why not finish getting caught up on the Kate Daniels series (i'll admit to being a little bit disappointed by this one, but I'm one of the few)
Neanderthal Seeks Human: A Smart Romance - N2U - I saw this book/series mentioned so many times on the Amazon forums before I took the leap - its a quirky romance but has turned into one of my favorite series - I can't wait to continue reading it

hopefully something works!

Ty  | 1943 comments oh, Breann. I should be thankful to you for some of the rec's I've taken from your read list. So, of course, picking for you was hellaciously hard considering you've read almost everything I woulda recommended M/M-wise. But I hope there are some gems for you here!


Authors we are thankful for:
TBR: Zombie Boyz - a lot of great authors in this anthology
NEW: Too Stupid to Live - I've confessed before that Anne Tenino is one of my down-low guilty pleasures. I dunno why - I think it's because how eyeroll-inducing her covers are. But dang, she writes real, real good! This one was a pleasant surprise emotionally, nice read.

Books you are thankful for:
TBR: Saving Grace - one of my first, and favorite, Julie Garwood
NEW: Years - I've rec'd this so many times....

Books you are grateful were recommended to you:
TBR: The Untamed MacKenzie & The Wicked Deeds of Daniel Mackenzie: double for 1! I will always remember how much I enjoyed The Madness of Lord Ian, rec'd to me a couple years ago by Karen Booklover.
NEW: The Epic Love Story of Doug and Stephen - quite possibly my first non-yaoi MM book. I don't recall who rec'd it, but I do remember the story being short, sweet, and free.

Series you can't get enough of:
TBR: Archangel's Legion - the new book comes out tomorrow! Must read!
NEW: Fifth Grave Past the Light - don't see this on your TBR, but stick with Charley

Thanks Nandar!
I've looked over these books and have added a few of the suggestions to my TBR list! Just what I need...more on my list! :-)

I'm going to aim for 3 of them this month...trying to fit a few into other challenges where I have my month already pretty tight, but I'll see what I can do.

I'm planning to read the following:
Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover Vain (The Seven Deadly, #1) by Fisher Amelie It Ain't Me, Babe (Hades Hangmen, #1) by Tillie Cole
