I'm in this; it sounds fun~

[Heather]

I'm so excited to see new members trying this out.

[Heather]

Partners are up! Please search through their TBR list and see what books you might recommend. You can recommend some that aren't on their list as well, but make sure a good majority are. You're looking to recommend 10 books and this should be done before the end of the week. You may want to message your partner just to remind them in case they don't check here. Please accept your partner as a friend so that they can view your books.
If you have questions, just ask.

[Heather]

To my partners, I'll check your lists when I get home from work tonight. If you could pick a few recommendations from my library-has list, that would be nice since I won't have to purchase anything.


Any preferences for a list to pick from, just let your partners know.

[Colleen]

For April,

YA from your TBR:


Adult from your TBR:


A few additional YA I think you might like:

[Heather]

For Jennifer -

From your TBR:



Others:


It seems like you like YA, but I did pick 2 that weren't just in case that's not all you read. Also, the first two in the others, I haven't read, but they were recommended by someone with a similar reading style as you so hopefully they don't flop. =)

[Heather]

For Shannon:

Stuff it look liked you owned, but hadn't read:


To try:


If I picked a book that is further along in the series than you are, just go with the next one you have to read. I tried to double check them all, but I'm sure i missed something.

[Jennifer]

For Heather:

Born in Fire
Isle of Night
Illuminate
Strange Neighbors
Book of Shadows good series :)
Boys that Bite good series, awesome author
Generation Dead good series, fun read, light read
Song of the Sparrow
Switched good series
The Juliet Spell

I tried to pick a variety for you :) 4 of them I have read and liked. I hope I chose well for you! Have fun! (I don't know how to link the books like above :))

[Jennifer]

Lol thank you for the book list! I really like YA cuz I don't like to read smut lol :) Couldn't even finish 50 Shades of Grey lol haven't fully decided but might read "Some Girls Bite" I'm gonna look it up! Thanks again! I'll get on it tonight! Now its 3 books I'm reading lol

[Shannon Carly]

Thanks Heather! I will check your shelves later today and post recommendations for you. :)

[Heather]

Jennifer -
Skinwalker and Spider's Bite have sex. Some Girls Bite does as well. Although, I don't know how graphic the first book is. It might have been more other people doing things. Someone's memory might be fresher.
I picked those just because it seemed like you enjoyed things with a bit of a darker story in them. I'm fairly certain in Spider's Bite you can skip the sex scene and not miss anything important. Sometimes I find myself skipping a few pages her and there while reading so I understand completely.

[Cindy (Squin)]

Fabiane - I added you as a friend because it's crazy how similar our shelves are! I know, there are more than 10 here, I just couldn't resist!

Here are my recommendations:

Adult:



YA:

[~*I love Tea*~]

Colleen, these are some books I think you might enjoy, we have so many books in common, so it was a little tricky seeing as we have both read so many of the same books. But I do hope you enjoy my choices:

(It's a bit of a mixed bunch)

[Shannon Carly]

For Heather,

From your "library-has" list:


A few of these are from your to-read list, but all were excellent reads:


I hope you don't mind, I posted a few extras. I tried to pick stuff that, based on your shelves, seemed like something you'd like. You had a great selection and it was too hard to narrow down to just 10.

I liked the choices you had for me! I'm definitly going to read a few of the books from the first set. I'm going to try and get some of the others through a swap site.

[Fabiane]

Hey Cindy ^^

Here are my recs; all of them are books I've read and enjoyed. Since our tastes are so similar, I guess you'll like them !





It's more than ten, too... Hope you don't mind!

And thanks for your suggestions! Let's see how many I can finish before the event ends :)

[Darcy]

KT ~ Here are my picks for you. Some of them are from your list, others are some of my favorites, but all are good!

[Heather]

Jennifer, I read and really enjoyed the story.

Were these intended for Dori?

[Heather]

Has anyone heard from April, Dori, or KT? If not I'm going to start swapping partners around for those who haven't gotten recommendations yet.

[Darcy]

I haven't heard from KT.

[Heather]

I messaged them today. If we don't hear from them by late tomorrow we'll fix things.

[Doruntina]

Hey guys, i'm here but with no idea who my partner is or who recommended something for me. Help me out?

[Doruntina]

That's what got me confused...

[Heather]

That could be confusing. I love Tea is your partner. Either she accidentally wrote Colleen's name down, or she did the wrong person. I'll send her a message to check. All the partners are listed in comment number 2. Just make up a list for her and I'll see that we figure out what's going on with her recommendation.
Sorry about the confusion.

[Doruntina]

Great! :) i'll get right on it

Sorry, I was off on vacation days and was unable to stay on the internet long enough to ask a few questions; How do I recommend Darcy here? Should I just put down the author and the title? Or...? Sorry Darcy for letting you wait(Still too new to this online connection, sorry guys!)

[Heather]

You can click on Darcy's image and it'll take you to her profile. Click on her to-read list and see what's on there you think she might like. You can recommend other stuff, but be careful with Darcy because she's read a million things. You don't want to recommend something she's read. =)

[Doruntina]

I Love Tea - Here are some books i found in your to-read shelf, as well as some others i thought you will like:

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough
Meredith Gentry - A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell Hamilton
Waking the witch by Kelley Armstrong
Anita Blake - Guilty Pleasures by Laurell Hamilton
Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger
Mythos Academy - Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep
Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it! Nevermore is pretty much the exact opposite - pretty dark, but I really, really liked it!

[Ripple]

Thanks Heather for the advice!
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, Darcy. But I have the list ready for you; what I wanted you to read, but here they are! Most are YA fiction but I tried to find ones that would fit a higher purpose in thinking, drama, or romance. Hope you enjoy!

Who's supposed to recommend to me?

[Colleen]
