Karen ♐, I choose Wild Man Creek (Virgin River, #12) by Robyn Carr and Strings (Hard Rock Harlots, #1) by Kendall Grey for you, with a recommendation of Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour, #1) by Olivia Cunning . Olivia Cunning writes some great erotica, in my opinion!

Eep! I checked the compare books and I hadn't seen that you had read it! Have you read the Stimulated series by Lexxie Couper? I've read the first two and they're not too bad! I'd recommend Blowing It Off (Stimulated Book 1) by Lexxie Couper for sure!

Trea- I choose A Merciful Death and because librarians don't get enough love: Driven to Distraction,

Your third pick was tricky because you want to avoid the genres that cover most of your 5 star books. I considered Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder mysteries set in an Amish community, and Julie James' FBI/US attorney books (you read 2 and the later books are stronger.) I haven't read much Christian fiction, but what I have read involved people finding their way out of the brambles. So with books about new beginnings in mind I'm going way out into left field and suggesting: Suspect

I have no idea if it will work, but others liked it so my fingers are crossed.

A Merciful Death (Mercy Kilpatrick, #1) by Kendra Elliot Driven to Distraction (Lovestruck Librarians, #5) by Olivia Dade Suspect (Scott James & Maggie, #1) by Robert Crais

Sorry sunshine there was an html error when it was posted. I have fixed now and the post should read correctly

I chose Easy (Contours of the Heart, #1) by Tammara Webber and Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver for you :-)

Though I might also add Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden as a third pick for a complete change after the first two :-)


Avid Reader and Geek Girl (avidreaderandgeekgirl) | 417 comments I pick; The Book of Life (All Souls Trilogy, #3) by Deborah Harkness and Misery by Stephen King for Joanne and recommend: Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye


message 77: by Samantha (last edited Dec 19, 2016 07:05PM) (new)

Samantha (missymaysreadingnook) | 483 comments Marty,

I pick Silver Girl by Elin Hilderbrand and The Wolf in the Attic by Paul Kearney from your list.

For your genre, I recommend Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier . If you've already read this, I'd also recommend Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson or Misery by Stephen King . (I know that's TECHNICALLY three, but I know that these are somewhat well-known books, but they're extremely good reads if you haven't read them yet)

This is the second time Hornblower has been picked for me so it must be a sign that I need to read it XD I'm going to try and read all three. Thanks for the picks!


message 79: by Deanne (new)

Deanne Patterson (cnnamongirlaolcom) | 82 comments Joanne - is from Canada my choice for you is

The Never List by Koethi Zan and The Bees by Laline Paull

For your historical romance I choose The Ringmaster's Wife by Kristy Cambron I enjoyed it and hope you do too.


message 80: by Holli (new)

Holli | 333 comments Ezi, I choose for you Unseen (The Heights, #1) by Lauren Stewart & Unwanted (Elemental Assassin, #14.5) by Jennifer Estep

I haven't heard of any of your books but Unseen sounds interesting and I couldn't stop staring at the guy on Unwanted. Kind of reminds me of Dylan McDermott.

As for a historical romance recommendation, I don't read a lot of them, but one I enjoyed is Lair of the Lion by Christine Feehan . It's a historical, paranormal romance and availiable on Audible as well.

Enjoy! :-)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 586 comments Danielle,

My choices from your list are A Merciful Death (Mercy Kilpatrick, #1) by Kendra Elliot and At Close Range (Tracers, #11) by Laura Griffin

My recommendation for Romantic Suspense is Cold Shot (Chesapeake Valor, #1) by Dani Pettrey . I don't read a lot of romantic suspense, but this is a book I really enjoyed and hope you do too.

Happy reading! :)

I choose for Avid Reader and Geek Girl
Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye & Good in Bed (Cannie Shapiro, #1) by Jennifer Weiner
I've heard great things about both books.

As far as your genre Steampunk....I scanned your read books and I didn't see this one but if need to I can find another. Soulless (Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger I think this is something you would like and I've heard it's an amazing series.

I hope you enjoy your books.

Back to the Bedroom (Elsie Hawkins #1) by Janet Evanovich Medium Dead (Dr. Alexandra Gladstone #4) by Paula Paul

I don't really know your genres, sorry! But... if you like historical romance, perhaps you'll like an alternative history romance, too - like Sorcerer to the Crown (Sorcerer Royal, #1) by Zen Cho . (Magical regency England!)
