Kainda - thanks for the choices. I'm going to pick up Dreaming the Eagle from the library tomorrow (if it's open). :)
For Mary:I had a rough time with you because most of your TBR shelf was what I would recommend! So, I did find something that I hope you will like. Need by Carrie Jones reminded me a bit of the Twilight series when I read it, so I thought it would be a good choice for you. :)

Best news.. my fiance is going to eat healthier, he's going to even eat salads! Funny enough, he hates salad dressing, so he's never tried it with just plain oil and vinegar and he likes it! So, now I'm going to buy more salad stuff - which means when I make him a salad, I make me one too. I'm back on track, but slept through Weight Watchers this past Saturday. Been keeping with a stead 2-3 times of working out a week. Tomorrow we're helping my grandma paint her rental unit, so that'll burn up some calories. Too sore and yucky after that to work out, but I plan on Thursday doing either a bike ride or some machines at grandmas. I've got a family pass to this place called Fitness 19 - never gone yet (they enlisted me without telling me) and I'm thinking of setting up the fiance with a pass too - then we can work out together. Of course, we've always got Grandmas - who has these great comfort bikes and a 5 mile path right by her. When we get used to it, I'm hoping to push us to go around twice when we do.
Mmm real english tea. The best we have right now is imported japanese tea. Not the best to use with milk though, I've found. I've been stuck using regular lipton bags for my milk and sugar kind of tea. It's not great, but it's what I grew up on when I was sick.
Not doing so well on this one! Four down... 1. Read a book whose hero/male is a "cowboy"
2. Read a book whose hero/male is a "cop/fbi"
3. Read a book whose hero/male is "military"
4. Read a book whose hero/male is a "doctor" or "lawyer"
5. Read a book whose hero/male is an "athlete"
6. Read a book whose hero/male is a "demon/witch/warlock/walker" (ghostwalker, skinwalker, etc.)
7. Read a book whose hero/male is a "faery/wizard/elf/angel"
8. Read a book whose hero/male is a "were-animal/shape shifter":
9. Read a book whose hero/male is a "hunter" (dark, ghost, were, etc.):
10. Read a book whose hero/male is a "vampire": One Foot in the Grave
Speaking of craving coffee, I've been reading a lot of books with tea in them and especially when I listened to I Am the Messenger, I found myself craving tea with milk and sugar every time they talked about it. Yum. I don't read a lot of books that inspire regular recipes though.. so I'm not sure what I'd come up with for this challenge.
I'm so excited! This looks like a ton of fun. Can't wait for July to kick in. :)
Just realized I could use a book I previously read for the cover without a human profile. :)1.
