I don't know any of your books, but I see you like fantasy and I have been reading through Susan witting albert and her series about Beatrix Potter.I'm really enjoy it and the books are sort of fairy tales geared more to wards adults. Therefore I will suggest you check out

Hi Jonquil,

I chose and for you. I like being able to finish series, so I thought I would help you get closer to finishing those. I recommended for you. I'm not very familiar with urban fantasy novels, but I heard this is a really good read. I hope it lives up to your expectations. Happy holidays and happy reading!

Sincerely,

Happy Holidays

I finished both books from my Dusty Shelf.

Checking Out Love 4 stars was delightfully cute.

First Contact More like 3.5 stars. Yes, it was SUPER hot, and I don't generally like BDSM. I really liked what was written, BUT...this story just stopped. It did not come to any sort of conclusion at all. It's been 2 years since this was published, so I'm not holding my breath for a sequel.

Unfortunately, your recommendation, Men in Love, is not a good fit for me. I don't enjoy reading non-fiction.

Thanks for these picks, and thanks also to our hostess.
