Team 2:

Dee - 2 books Dee's Shelf
Lauren - 2 books 2015 SRC Summer
Bea - 2 books PAS Challenge
Lyn - 1 book archives

Remember: When picking books for team members, you pick the number they signed up for plus one. For example, I signed up for two books, so each person will pick three books for me to choose from.

Dee, I haven't read anything on your list, so I used the series titles as my selection criteria.

Sweet Caroline - "Blue Jeans and Hard Hats" sound enticing
Take Me Home - "Country Roads" reminds me of home
Night is Darkest - "Men in Blue" always sexy

Lauren, I used authors as my selection criteria

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers - this writer makes science interesting
Grave Surprise - one of my favorite writers
The Clocks - a classic mystery writer with a classic protagonist

Lyn, my criteria for your picks was title birds.

The Nightingale
The Sparrow

Stiff is a great book - i hope you read it lauren - although i will say, listening to the audiobook made my stomach turn slightly...lots of ideas for waht i want done with my body when i do ;)

My picks:

Dee

An Inconvenient Wife
Luck Be Delanie - Love this title
Love, Technically - And this title, too.

Lauren

What Remains of Heaven - a series I really want to start
Fireproof - I just started this series and am on book 3. I love them.
The Crossing Places - another series I want to start.

Bea

Never Let Me Go - This was a 5 star book for me.
Storm Front - My favorite series of all time. The first books are a bit average, but stick with it. They build on each other and it gets REALLY good.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Beautiful book.

here are my picks!

Lauren
Archangel's Blade
No Good Duke Goes Unpunished
Unspeakable

Bea
Succubus Dreams
The Hobbit
On the Edge

Lyn
The Great Zoo of China
The Forgotten Girls

Lyn, thanks for the info on each book. I have been iffy about Never Let Me Go since Scatagories.

Dee, I just finished Succubus on Top, so the next book would be Succubus Dreams.

that's what i put right? its what i see

Did you try to read it and couldn't?

@Dee: yes, that is what you recommended - the next one in the series. I was just commenting that I am ready for it now. I am really liking this different take on demons and other immortals. Nice switch from all the vampires.

@Lyn: No, I haven't started it. I picked it for one of the Scatagory categories, but the cover has kinda put me off since. If my library has it, I may acutally try it on your recommend. (PS: I did not finish the Scatagory game. Lots of unread books left.)

Thanks Bea and Dee. I'm definitely going to read - its for the SRC Challenge too :0)

Picks for Dee

- I love Tessa Dare's Spindle Cove series.

- this is a good series.

- I liked this one too.

Picks for Bea

- a good addition to the series.

- Harry grows on you like a fungus, lol!

- I love the title of this book

a good fungus right?

Picks for Lyn

- I loved this series.

- like this title.

Looks like we are ready to read!

I never seem to be able to finish Tien's games, lol. You are in good company. They are a lot of fun, though. She is so creative!

I may actually have to try the series that Dee and you were talking about if it has a different take on immortals. I am always looking for something different.

Thanks for the recommendations, all. And as Bea said - we are ready to read!

this is what i have right now
Bea recommended Night is Darkest
Lauren - i think i can fit all 3 books into SRC this season (yikes!)
Lyn - likely Love Technically - but i need to see how a few other challenges play out

Lauren wrote: "Picks for Lyn

- I loved this series.

- like this title."

Thanks Lauren - I just finished A Discovery of Witches and loved it.

I'll probably start with The Book of Life since I just finished with the first book in the series. Might as well start with the longest one, right?

I am going to start with Never Let Me Go, since Dee gives it a high rating and the cover has deterred me. I am going to see what is behind that horrible cover. Going to the library today.

ihaven'tread it - you mean Lyn?

Dee wrote: "ihaven'tread it - you mean Lyn?"

Oh, yeah. Lyn recommended it. Thanks for correcting that. She gave it 5*.

So relieved. Just came back from the library.

This is the copy that has so put me off -

This is the copy my library had -

I hope you like it, Bea. I'm glad that they had an alternate cover for you. :) What was it about the original cover that you didn't like?

Dee wrote: "a good fungus right?"

Absolutely!

is the third book. You must read the 2nd book first because the storyline is continuous.. Book 2 is

Lyn (Readinghearts) wrote: "What was it about the original cover that you didn't like?"

The face. It said to me "leave me alone", while the words said something else. Just struggled to want to read this book, even though I chose it.

Ya - you are right. I just finished the first one, and am now reading the second on Shadow of Night. Next month I will be reading the third one, which will still fit for here.

Hope you enjoy it. I loved the mix of historical figures in the fiction storyline.

Me too, Lauren. :)

I finished Night is Darkest - pick from Bea - had forgotten how much i like this authors writi g style and ohh the hotness level :)

Dee wrote: "I finished Night is Darkest - pick from Bea - had forgotten how much i like this authors writi g style and ohh the hotness level :)"

Lol, hotness is always good, huh?

Uh-huh...lol

Speaking of hot, I am reading Shadow Game for Pursuit. The dream sequence is HOT!

I think that one is on my TBR somewhere - not sure if print or audio

Finished both books - really enjoying this series on audio

- a fascinating if somewhat disturbing read. Not for the squeamish.

Wow, Lauren! You jumped into this game with both feet!

I have my first book out of the library, but will not start it until I get some others finished and returned.

I just finished Never Let Me Go for my first book. I gave it 3*, which means I enjoyed it but that it was not a book that engaged me like a 4* book can. I am glad that I read it. Interesting concept regarding disease and clones.

Lyn - i read Luck Be Delanie - cute second chance romance but i wanted more - the story was too short for me

I finished my second book last week, but I forgot to report here. Completed Succubus Dreams and gave it 4* for the entertainment factor. I really like this series, which is light and quick reads for me. Highly entertaining and refreshing.

Is everyone done? I know that Lauren and I have completed our two books. Dee and Lyn, are y'all done?

yep, i've been done for while ;)

I read:
Night is Darkest
Luck Be Delanie
Behind Closed Doors
Crux

Dee wrote: "yep, i've been done for while ;)"

I saw that you read Night is Darkest, but I did not see what your second book was.

Oh, yeah, now I see Luck Be Delanie.

So that leaves only Lyn.

I also read and as well as the two subsequent books in both these series. What can I say - I'm hooked :0)

I ended up reading The Nightingale which I really loved.
