Looks fun, CaroB! I'm in! �

Excellent! I've got to finish off my Feb reads so I can start planning for March.

I'm in of course! =)

Hey guys! How is everybody? Won't choose my books yet. I always end up changing them!

Just wondering the same thing. I can think of 3 books that fit the St. Patrick's Day category that I want to read. lol

My first attempt at a list. Will evolve, I'm sure.

LOL! Me too, Jenny! Love that color of your last book. See, I would buy that book just for the cover. I am such a book-cover ho.

Susan, I have had at my bedside for a while now. Do you think I could give up eating, sleeping and going to the bathroom?

Jyl22075 wrote: "This list is subject to change (because I am moody.)..."
Me too!! It'll be interesting to see how many I still have at the end of the month still standing. 2 for sure.

I wouldn't give up sleeping for it. Not many things worth that. lol

I'm with Heather, I wouldn't give up sleeping. Eating and work, yep ;)

I've had that on my nightstand since it was released. That's one of the reasons I wanted to finish some series this month...get them out of the way.

It was the best in the series, IMHO though, so it was a good read.

I think it will be the only one in the series I read. I've been watching the rest of you ladied read the others.

Can't say I blame you

1. Procrastination: I've owned this book for over two yearsUnder the Dome
2. Procrastination: in another group I'm doing a "one from each genre challenge" this is the last book left to read. I've been putting it off for months because I don't know if I'll like M/M romance Zero at the Bone
3. Green: Anne of Green Gables
4. Green: Night Embrace
5. Weather: Book 3 of the weather warden series: Chill Factor
6. My Choice: The Vampire Queen's Servant

I seem to remember the synopses of The Bride, so I'm thinking I may have read that in my teenage years, but always love a good Garwood historical!

Amy, Anne of Green Gables was one of my fave movies growing up, and now that my daughter is almost 8, I was wondering about reading the book with her and then watching the movie. Would love to know what you think, whether it'd make for a good read-along with a child?

Wow, Anna. I haven't read any of the author's you've chosen for this month.

Exactly what I was thinking, Susan. Will be interested in your thoughts, Anna.

Susan (susayq) wrote: "Wow, Anna. I haven't read any of the author's you've chosen for this month."

I haven't either. I have heard of Brenda Jackson & Judy Christie, though. (But I can't remember what I've heard, LOL!)

Ok, I am in. Not sure that I can make it this month but I'll give it a go anyway.

This challenge is a good excuse to start the second book in the series. I loved the first book and Rachel Caine has become a favorite author.

That pleases me; I've been wanting to start the series and I'm using this challenge as an excuse too. �
