I've read two so far. [bookcover:The Day John Died|37459980] was good but mistitled, of course -- it's more of a bio than a snapshot of one day.
was scary as predicted. I've been to the Murrah museum, which is located in a building next to the site that used to house OKC's daily financial newspaper. At one point in the book he describes the tape recording inadvertently made of the explosion by people attending a recorded court proceeding next door. It's the first thing you hear when you go into the museum, and it's chilling.
Finished
, gave it 4 stars.This book was exciting and entertaining. Carrie is character that at times is hard to like, but in the end you can't help but root her along on her journey. I felt the ending was cut a little short, but overall a great read. I have enjoyed other books by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and this one did not disappoint.
Thanks Lance!

Finished #1 The Gas and Flame Men: Baseball and the Chemical Warfare Service during World War I. Much more warfare information (WWI) than baseball but very interesting. Some of the biggest names in the game like Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson actually WANTED this dangerous duty. This author is well known for baseball books for this era and he did not disappoint with this one.

Denise wrote: "Jackie I my pick for you is : , it was a 5 star read for me."I did read this and I have just picked up the next book from the library. It was a difficult choice to have to make. Thanks, Denise.
Finished my second one for February, The Tigerbelles. Fantastic book - thanks for picking this one.
FINALLY finished #3 The Color of Everything: A Journey to Quiet the Chaos Within - but it was very good -worth the time it took to finish.

For anyone unfamiliar, this is a monthly challenge where you post a link to a shelf you created. It can be named "PIFM" or "Pick It For Me" etc, if you want one dedicated only to this challenge, or you can use an existing shelf you already have, as long as it has 100 or fewer books on it. The link must be to the specific shelf, or you will not be partnered.. Indicate how many books you would like to have picked for you from that shelf for the month in question. There is no lower limit as to how many books you can have on your shelf, but, of course, they should be books you are interested in reading during the next month and have ready access to.
On or about the 25th of each month, I will post who picks for whom. In order to accommodate an uneven number of participants, pairs will not be reciprocal -- in other words, it won't be Joanne picking for Jennifer and Jennifer picking for Joanne. It may be Joanne picks for Jennifer, Jennifer picks for Herman, and Herman picks for Suzanne, and someone else entirely picks for Joanne.
IF anyone has not been "picked for" by the 30th, I will pick for them if the designated picker can't be contacted by PM.
When you are assigned someone to pick for, note the number of books in parentheses after that person's name in the pick list, go to the link for their shelf, and pick that number of books for them. Post the books in a new message here. That person has the entire following month to read his/her picks. Someone will be picking for you the same way. We all like to see what people think about their picks, so we hope you will keep us posted in this thread!
Example: "In for five, please!
PIFM"
The HTML template for linking your shelf can be found HERE and if you have trouble, PM me and I will help you.
Your designated shelf must be set so that others can see it. To set up a PIFM shelf for those who would like to, go to the "MY BOOKS" link in the GOODREADS toolbar, scroll down below your shelves on the left until you see the "add shelf" button, and click that. Name it PIFM or Pick It For Me. Add books to it, and post the link to it in this challenge as described above. Again, if you need help, please don't hesitate to PM me!
If you are in for February, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!
February pairs:
Jackie picks 5 for Jennifer
Jennifer picks 3 for Joy
Joy picks 3 for Lance
Lance picks 1 for Denise
Denise picks 1 for Jackie
