213642 Just me. :) Unfortunately this group hasn't grown like I'd hoped and it's so quiet. It's typically just the four of us, no one else really.

213642 Sorry for the delay! I've been so out of it lately. :/


My pick for Jenny:
Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone --- cuz this looks so good


And since Jenny hasn't come around either, here's one for you Angie, just incase:
The Library of the Unwritten (Hell's Library #1) by A.J. Hackwith --- cuz this looks good but I haven't tried it yet - so you can let me know how it is. :)

213642 I don't have many either. :( Let's just do one partner each and one book each since the shelves are smaller.

213642 I hear you Plethora. I've read abysmally so far this year. It's super sad.

I'm in but gotta do a shelf too. I need to raid y'alls cuz I don't have ideas for most of the prompts. :/

213642 Here's my picks---


Jenny -

The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz - This looks GOOOOD (had to put it on my TBR) but its not out til next month. It's my pick if you have an ARC, if you don't then -
Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson


Angie -
The Shadow of the Wind (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #1) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón - gotta do it. Didn't you get this from the used bookstore when you were here?

I'd love to send them to you! Message me an email and a format you'd prefer and I'll send them right over. :)

Here they are if you wanna see if they'd be something you like, blurb wise. First two are the main two in the series, second two are novelette prequels.


Natural Exposure (Bijou Basin #1) by Koriana Brackson Negative Exposure (Bijou Basin, #2) by Koriana Brackson A Discovery of BDSM (Bijou Book Bite #1) by Koriana Brackson An Exploration of BDSM (Bijou Book Bite #2) by Koriana Brackson

213642 A reminder / selfish self promo - I'm a self-published / indie author. If you read/enjoy erotic romance stories, I'm glad to send you mine. :)

Ways to know if an author is indie/self-published ---

Typically there won't be a publisher listed. This example is NOT indie, but a traditionally published book

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Publication Date: March 3, 2020
Sold by: Amazon.com Services LLC


There won't be a publisher listed, or it will be their own LLC listed. It will only say "sold by" whoever - typically Amazon, Smashwords, Draft2Digital, or other online retailers.

213642 Awwwww! Thanks Angie!! ;) Sorry the other one wasn't any better though.

I've gotten through two of mine as well. ;)


A Chip and a Chair (Seven of Spades, #5) by Cordelia Kingsbridge - good ending to the series, though I took so long to read it, I don't think the 'whodunit' had quite the same impact since I didn't really remember the person. Still. Not a bad series if you dont mind flawed but real characters. 4 stars.

A Curious Beginning (Veronica Speedwell, #1) by Deanna Raybourn - I really liked the MC of this one - she's my kind of chick. Strong and willful. There were dull and slow times but enjoyable over all. 4 stars.

213642 My picks for you Jenny:


The Unbroken (Magic of the Lost, #1) by C.L. Clark - because I JUST looked at this last week!

An Extravagant Death (Charles Lenox, #11) by Charles Finch - cuz it's the furest you are on a series

Tangled in Time (The McCarthy Sisters #1) by Barbara Longley - cuz I love time travel!

213642 Plethora, for you I pick:


Cathedral of Bones by A.J. Steiger - sounds cute, though it's not rated too well. Hope you'll like it.
The Rose Code by Kate Quinn - title caught my eye
The Paris Dressmaker by Kristy Cambron - tossed a coin between the two Paris ones. :D

============

Angie for you I pick:

1st Shock (A Schock Sisters Mystery, #1) by Misty Evans ---- ohhh, never heard of this. Sounds good!!
Ink & Sigil (Ink & Sigil, #1) by Kevin Hearne --- wasn't as good as Atticus but still really good
Negative Exposure (Bijou Basin, #2) by Koriana Brackson --- read my book woman! :D At least open it? ;)

Jenny - glad to pick for you if you have a shelf ready

You can still join in if you wanna Jenny! Then everyone can pick for the 3 others, but not their-selves (unless they wanna).

213642 I read Black Widow. Gin is fun. 4 stars. I really enjoyed the part in the Pork Pit.

I started Veritas but haven't finished it. I'm only 6% in. I can maybe finish up before the 7th if I actually read for a change instead of writing. SMH. I completed all of THREE books in Feb. Awful!! :(

Head On (Lock In, #2) by John Scalzi - love these, need another one!
Two If by Sea by Jacquelyn Mitchard - I love numbers in the title
