fleurette - you say we don't have much in common, but you picked ALL the right books. I may be overwhelmed right now and bloody impressed.

I have a Sandra Brown's that I never read. And I do love dragons. About GOT, there's more porn on the TV show, unfortunately.

There's so many it will take some time to decide what to start with. :)
Yeah, I always have a hard time narrowing it down and I figured it was better to give you more options since I wasn't as familiar with your books. =)
Tink MagooFirst, I love your name! For as many books as we both have we didn't have too much in common, but we tended to agree when we did. So I hope you like your picks and find something intriguing.
1. June 1st is Global Running Day: Definitely exercise happening in this sports based book from your TBR - Offside by Shay Savage. Or check out this out of shape single mother who learns her destiny is to protect humanity and has to get in shape (with the help of a hunky trainer) to fight in Huntress by Nicole Hamlett
2. June 2nd is Yell Fudge at Cobras in North America Day: Can't get much more yummy looking that this cover - Stepbrother Master by Ava Jackson. Or enjoy a small town romance while learning more about the Cupcakes Lover's Club with Fool for Love by Beth Ciotta.
3. June 8th is Upsy Daisy Day: There is a happy ending with both these book. First is the amazing dragon shifter romance by Thea Harrison - Dragon Bound. Second adds more humor with The Gamble by Kristen Ashley
4. June 12th is Superman Day: Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder was on your TBR and is one of the few books I gave 5 stars. Learning the ins and outs of poison tasting was fascinating and the story and characters were also great. Or check out the start of a YA trilogy where the MC is a thief in an interesting world where the city is basically run by different mob-type families who tend to have powers to "protect" the normal from the monsters. Cold Burn of Magic by Jennifer Estep
5. June 17th is Flip Flop Day: Licked by Brooke Blaine looked like a beach read for sure. Or check out and oldie but goodie by Jennifer Crusie with Welcome to Temptation where lots of confusion leads the small town folks to believe a porno is being filmed there.
6. June 24th is International Fairy Day: Well there is plenty of magic and demons in Kindling the Moon by Jenn Bennett and excellent series that only has 4 books total. Or check out the whimsical story of My Life at the M.B.R.C. by K.M. Shea
7. June 28th is International Body Piercing Day: Well Zack by Esther E. Schmidt is looking plenty tattoo'd to qualify. Or check out the strange world where states are run by corporations instead of governments and Nadia is supposed to marry the Chairman's son, who ends up killed and replicated and wanting to solve his own murder in Replica by Jenna Black.
8. June is World Naked Bike Ride Month: Outcast by Adrienne Kriss has a cool cover with a vehicle. And Shane gets started on the getting naked part on the cover of Forgotten Sins which was a very interesting amnesia, secret super soldier book.
