Yippee!! I'm glad we chatted too. I would have been excited or any of them but I really wanted cowboys. I'm enjoying the series, they're more second time around. which is a change.

Hi Elinaly,
I have a crush on Tobias Eaton so I have to choose Divergent.
Enjoy!

Debbie (Doc) wrote: "Joanne,

I chose for you
Newsflesh Trilogy by Mira Grant

Enjoy!"

Thanks Debbie!

Laurla, I'll choose Modern Arrangements by Sadie Grubor for you so you can finish off a series.

Debbie (Doc) for you I choose the KGI series, I have only read the first one but really enjoyed it so I hope you enjoy.

Hahahaaa... thank you! :)
Yeah, the movies are also waiting to be watched, but I cant watch a movie before I read a book (I have seen the first one and yeah... Tobias... sigh).
So thank you so much - I feel so motivated, lol!

Thanks, Stephanie!

Maya wrote: "Dee!

I choose the Vampire for Hire series for you (even though Even Gods Fall in Love was calling me) because you're closest to finishing it and I want to cheer you on."

Thanks Maya!! I need all the cheering on, I can get!! So many books, so little time!

Zuzana, for you, I choose, Robot. Looks like they are novellas so that should be quick. Happy reading!

☘KathyD☘ wrote: "Hi Erin!
For April, I choose Dexter for you to finish off...happy reading!! =)"

Ooooh, thank you! It's been awhile since I've read Dexter and there are so few books left in the series. And they're all just sitting there on a shelf at my library!

Thanks, Dee. Though they are listed as 0.5 and 0.6, they are not novellas. One of them is a 500+ pages collection of short stories and essays and the other one is a novel. Nevertheless I like the series very much and am happy you chose it for me to finish next month. :-)

I got sooooooo lucky! Thanks Trea for the great pick, and for Louise (I sooooo wanted to pick for you when I saw that this was one of your choices) I choose Once Upon a Romance . You will really love this series (I hope)! I did!

I like watching a movie before the book for foundation/outline of the plot. Then go to the book for the details and shading

Donna; I pick the World of Hetar by Bertrice Small series. One of my favorite romance writers from my younger days. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Colleen! Bertrice Small is one of my all time favorite authors. I even named my daughter Skye ; ) because I loved the O'Malley series.

Colleen, I pick for you Department Q
Happy Reading!!

thank you I'm almost done with the series but then then went and added a few more to be published

Finished Thsnks Kay for getting me back to this series.:-)

Finished today. Horrific and delightful is about the only way I can describe these. Also started watching Dexter on Netflix so it's like a Dexter month for me.

Louise wrote: "Finished Thsnks Kay for getting me back to this series.:-)"
You're welcome! I was amazed when I found the further books after #3 this winter! I read them all in a day or two... LOVED them! Such a sucker for a good clean romance...

Zuzana

I read books 8 & 9 fo the Jamie Brody Mystery series. I am continuing to enjoy this series. I am a bit concerned that they seem to be getting to short though.

Thanks for the pick!

Trea,

I finished the Patasserie series. What good reading! And I LOVED all the recipes! Too bad I have too small of a kitchen and am now too disabled to try these on my own. I have a group of friends who like to bake and use me as a source for info and training (I am/was a good cook), so I am hoping we can plan to get together at one of their homes (they have much larger kitchens) and we can try a few of these... Heck, I'd recommend these books just for the recipes, but the stories are good too, if you can handle the French language (I use it as a learning experience).

I'm glad you enjoyed it! So sorry to hear that you can't make the recipes yourself, but I'm glad you have good friends that you can visit that will help you make them!

I am especially looking forward to doing the croissant recipes... One of my personal favorite pastries, and hard to come by in our small town at a reasonable price... I will try to get the dough made up and then frozen so that I can do the final stages a little at a time... and have fresh croissants anytime I want them!

I'm afraid I have read way too many really good books and this one just... yeah, the characters and the whole story felt so... sigh... "flat" to me. Even the end wasn't surprising.
I will read the 3rd book in series also, but someday in future and only because I want to see how this all ends.
Will watch the movie, though. Because of the Four ;)

Aww man. I loved this one. The movie was not good but the book was enjoyable. Sorry you didn't like it

Finished my cowboys books 3-7 including the novellas! Loved it! Thank you again Melissa!

I managed to complete 3/5 of the books left in my series.


The remaining 2 are unavailable at the library so I couldn't finish, but I will be finishing up soon. Thanks for picking Dex! It's been a fun read.

Since I am unfamiliar with your list, I used random.org to select Fatal by Marie Force for you."

Susan, thanks again for picking this series for me! I'm so glad to be caught up on it, and both books made for enjoyable reading!

Thanks, Dee, for picking the Robot series for me. Though the very last book (The Positronic man) was a disappointment the rest of the series was great. I loved R. Daneel and Elijah Bailey - a great futuristic detective duo.
