Thanks Ab2y! There are so many good choices I don't know where to start!

[Shelby]

Ok Sallie(Shuga) I finally got this figured out. Phew! Took me awhile since it's been ages since I read much m/f romance. I had to really dig for a few of these categories through my brain. I don't know if you're doing the Meet & Greet this time around, but I saw your shelf so I tried to pick a few books from there for you. :)

Teddy Bear & Warm/Fuzzy
1. The Lightning Thief (TBR) - I loved this series so I qualify it as warm and fuzzy. :)
2. Never Been Witched (TBR)
3. The Student Prince (New) - Fair warning this is a m/m story so please feel free to disregard if you're not interested. I just love this story so much and it's a beautiful friends to lovers! I adore the Merlin/Arthur stories and this one is just fantastic. Hope making the suggestion isn't offensive to you, but like I said please feel free to disregard if you have no interest.
4. The Fairy Godmother - Really fun series here too!



Chocolate & Card
1. Nauti Nights (TBR)
2. Oceans of Fire (TBR) - Adored this series!
3. Memory's Wake (New) - Great new YA fantasy series.
4. Daughter of the Blood (New) - This is one of my favorite series of all time and I'm going to say it fits this category as separated for a long time even though the fulfillment of this relationship doesn't happen in this book. It's just such a brilliant series.



Romantic Candlelight Dinner with All the Trimmings
1. One Wore Blue (TBR)
2. Mum's the Word (TBR)
3. An Arranged Marriage (New) I loved this series when I was in my historical romance reading phase. :D
4. Desire Unchained (New) I saw you'd read the first book and rated it well. Such a great series!



Valentine's Day
1. Shades of Midnight (TBR) - Big Fan
2. Demonkeepers (TBR) - Fantastic series
3. Shanna (New) - One of my most favorite books of all times!
4. A Hunger Like No Other (New) - Fabulous series you haven't read yet! I know this says it's book 2 but the first book was a short included in this copy I believe. :D



I really hope something here appeals to you. Can't wait to hear what you think!

[mary]

Hi Kami
Sorry it took so long to pick. This was my first time, so I hope there are some good ones here.

♥ Teddy Bear & warm/fuzzy
TBR: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I really enjoyed this book.
New: The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. This has the friends to lover theme.




♥♥Chocolate & card
TBR: Class of '98 by A.L. Player
New: The Truth About Foreverby Sarah Dessen. I know you read a lot of paranormal and dystopia YA, but I thought I might recommend this one. It contemporary, but I really enjoyed it so I thought I recommend it to you.




♥♥♥Romantic candlelight dinner with all the trimmings
TBR: Beastly by Alex Flinn
New: Single White Vampire by Lynsay Sands. I noticed you read some of the other series. And the cover even has a romantic dinner on the cover.




♥♥♥♥Valentine's Day
TBR: Winter Longing by Tricia Mills
TBR: Jacob by Jacquelyn Frank
New: When Lightning Strikes by Meg Cabot. This is one of my favorite paranormal YA series. Hopefully you will like it.

Hi Arena, I noticed that you only gave one pick for each of the last two picking rules. You were supposed to give one new and one from her TBR for each rule. If you could correct that, it would be great!

Sorry about not picking up that Elke's shelf was private. I didn't have a problem accessing her shelf I guess probably because I'm already her friend. Once again I apologise for this.

Yeah, there isn't a way to tell if you are already friends with the person. It shouldn't be a problem though.

It's okay. I've made picks - I just don't know if any are on her shelf. But if it's okay with everyone, as soon as she is back from her trip and able to get onto GR and (hopefully) friend me, I'll finish her picks quick quick :-)

[Zara's Retreat]

Hi everyone. Katie has asked for someone to make her picks for Irina please. She's not well at the moment so she can't spend the time she needs at the computer.

I've had four volunteers so far - MountainKat, NancyH, Victoria and Fran - so if one of you could pick for Irina I'd really appreciate it.

[Fran, Moderator]

Hi Zara!

The first person who volunteered should pick for Irina. Then go down the line of who offered if any more volunteers are needed. Thanks so much for hosting this month!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Thanks for replying to Zara Fran! I guess that put me up for picks for Irina. I will get to right away!

Zara, if there are others who need repicks - please assign a volunteer to them. I just checked and it looks like only the one? Good job everyone!

Thanks for explaining that Fran. It helps. It was pleasure hosting this month. I really enjoyed it a lot!

and . I hope to get one of them read and if time permits I may get both read. Thanks again.

[⚜️XAR]

NancyH, I hope you like the choices I've given you! Your tastes seem to lean toward Murder Mysteries, and I see some of my old favorites on your Read shelf. My new to you picks may throw you out of your comfort zone a bit though! Hopefully, you can find time to read some while crocheting like I do! Having a tablet makes that a little easier for me, especially when I’m working on an afghan or throw. Please let me know if I need to re-pick for you!

1. ♥Teddy Bear & warm/fuzzy: The Pink Panther's Just Desserts (from your To Read shelf. I have fond memories of watching the old live action Pink Panther movies with my dad, so when I saw this in your list, I had to choose it, even though it is not strictly romance. Clouseau's love of croissants could count though, right? *winks*) or Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson (New to you, I read this last year, it's Christian romantic suspense, but definitely has the "Aww!" factor at the end and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the book!)

2. ♥♥Chocolate & card: Simply Irresistible (From your to read shelf. I didn't care for this book, but you may like it better than I did!) or The Bride Wore Chocolate (New to you, kinda cute, I gave it 4 stars! The Kindle Edition has a different cover and they are eating wedding cake on it. There is a prequel short story, but I haven't read it yet and was still able to follow the story in this book without it.)

3. ♥♥♥Romantic candlelight dinner with all the trimmings: The Crepes of Wrath (From your to read shelf, since I've always considered crepes a sweet food, and I think these mysteries have a food theme running in them?) or Too Hot To Touch (New to you, though I saw the second and third books in the series on your read shelf, with a food theme. This also would work for Teddy bear and Warm/Fuzzy or Chocolate and Card. The couple is re-united after several years apart, and they were friends (not close ones) but became lovers in the story.) If Too Hot To Touch doesn't work because you've already read it, then I also recommend Love Finds You in Mackinac Island, Michigan, with lots of flowers on the front. I'm a sucker for books set around the Grand Hotel, thanks to the movie Somewhere in Time. However, this is Christian romantic fiction, and should be noted that there is a definite discussion about God in it.

4. ♥♥♥♥Valentine's Day: A Perfect Knight For Love (from your to read shelf) or Valentine Surprise (new to you-pretty cute and short!) I would actually also recommend Finding Abigail. I was hoping to get this one as a PIFM choice for this month, but even though I didn't, I'm reading it anyway! The series centers around 5 brothers that embody figures special to a specific holiday or the holiday itself. In this book, the brother embodies Cupid! It is not necessary to read the series in order, but does give added background. The first two were Halloween and Christmas respectively. The next one after that is for St. Patrick's Day, so I'm putting it in the list for March!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Irina, here are your picks! I'm sorry this took so long but this landed right in the middle of dinner time and my husband wanted me to actually cook for him. What's up with that?! Anyway, I hope find something you like!

Teddy Bear & Warm/Fuzzy: My first pick for this category is Down London Road (TBR) by Samantha Young. I don't know how she did it, but Ms. Young took a character I didn't like this very much and made her an amazing heroine! I loved this book as much as the On Dublin Street, maybe you will too. Another suggestion is A Hunger Like No Other (TBR) by Kresley Cole. I loved the audio of this book! For a new pick, I am going to suggest Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas. You loved Sugar Daddy, you have to read Hardy's story!

Chocolate & Card: I am going to suggest for this category one of my favorite books of all time, Kiss of the Highlander (NEW) by Kresley Cole. I think it is the most romantic book I have ever read - and funny too! I am a bit fanatic about reading books in order, but this is a series that the first three books aren't really connected to the others and to me the story really starts in #4. But if you are a stickler like me, go ahead and read The Highlander's Touch instead - then you can read Kiss of the Highlander! =) A suggestion from your TBR is The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Fun book and it is to get Lucy's story!

Romantic Candlelight Dinner with All the Trimmings: Two food related books for you here, one new and one from your TBR. New to you is Irresistible by Susan Mallery - you liked the first, read more about the Buchanan family! From your TBR, I am going to recommend you go back and visit the Kowalskis in All He Ever Needed by Shannon Stacey - I adore this family and it looked like you do too. Keep reading!

Valentine's Day: I love romantic books and had many to choose from! On your TBR, I found Love Irresistibly by Julie James. Love this series! And for a new book I am going to suggest Married By Morning by Lisa Kleypas. You liked the earlier books about the Hathaways and Leo and Cat's story was wonderful!

Happy Reading!

[Nancy H]

Hi Victoria "Trea",
Your picks for me look awesome! It is going to be hard to choose...I think I will read as many as I can from your list. I will start with ones I already own and go from there. I will let you know which one I decide to start with. Thanks so much for great and quick picks!
