Omg, I totally forgot to add my favorite genre, but you have some nice recommendations! I think I will be reading all of them, but not in this month. I have to read 3 books already and I will definitely try to read Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J. Maas .
I will really try to read A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas as well!

I choose Wild From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed and The Waves by Virginia Woolf for you.

You didn't put a preferred genre for my recommendation, so I just winged it.
I recommend you read I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh and if you don't like thrillers/mysteries, I also recommend The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood The Handmaid's Tale

Thinks for.picking The Forgotten Girls by Sara Blaedel The Forgotten Girls for me , I loved it, now I need to get the rest of the series ,since I all ready own this one and the book that comes after it. Five stars for me.

Runell Joanne - is from Canada wrote: "Runell, for you I pick 2 of my favourite books:

Hi, Joanne! I just finished Uprooted by Naomi Novik and wanted to let you know that I gave it 3 stars. I really liked it once I finally got into it, but it took too long for it to really pique my interest and I feel like a big chunk of it could have been left out. However, this book was seriously out of my comfort zone as I'm not the biggest fantasy reader so I'm really happy in that aspect that I read something out of my usual and mostly enjoyed my time reading it.

My next read is Code Name Verity

I loved Code Name Verity and the sequel


message 126: by Jodi (new)

Jodi (jojolyn) | 673 comments Finished my 1st pick, 2/6/17: Size Matters (A Perfect Fit #1) by Alison Bliss . I found this book humorous and sexy. I did get tired of the Heroine always accepting the putdowns she was given because of her size. Gave it ****.


message 127: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Bea (gekrepten) | 650 comments Marty, thank you so much for recommending Alice to me... I read it and LOVED IT!!! That was your genre pick for me, so thanks again!

I'll probably get to my other books before the month ends :)


message 128: by Sunshine✰✰✰ (new)

Sunshine✰✰✰ | 687 comments Finished Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews 2/9/17

It's only book 2 and I LOVE this series. When he says "As you wish"... Ahhh! The good thing about starting this series late, is that there are more books to binge read before having to wait. :-)


message 129: by Ashly (new)

Ashly (ashlyh) | 139 comments I finished Fast Connection (Cyberlove, #2) by Megan Erickson . I think I loved this one more than the first one. 5 Stars.


message 130: by Jodi (new)

Jodi (jojolyn) | 673 comments I finished my second book, The Book Thief. This was not my kind of book, I'm not a historical fiction reader. I gave it ** on 2/12/17.

I am still going to try and read my bonus book.


message 131: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (tellingmelies) | 540 comments Finished Reached (Matched, #3) by Ally Condie . Finally done with this series lol. I liked it better than the second book but overall, the first book was the best and then it was just downhill from there.

Code Name Verity (Code Name Verity, #1) by Elizabeth Wein


Hi, Joanne! Just wanted to say that I finished Code Name Verity yesterday. This one was a disappointment for me sadly as I really, really didn't like it which I find strange as I love WWII fiction. For whatever reason, this book just didn't click for me.

Thank you, however, for choosing it for me so I could get it off my TBR.

Hopefully I'll be able to get to your last suggestion All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr before the end of February.

message 135: by ⚜️XAR (new)

⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) Well, I've finished one of my picks this month, but I'm calling it, as I am so far behind in my reading this month! I did get to read a couple of other books on my Dusty Shelf, so I'm counting it as a win for the month!

Crossing Hearts (Cross Creek, #1) by Kimberly Kincaid wasn't a bad read, but it definitely had some problems with it! Thanks for the push to get it off my shelf!

I read Infected: Holden 5 stars, from my shelf.
An Unseen Attraction hasn't been released yet. I am impatiently waiting that one. Read on 2/22 5 stars!

I read your pick Taken by the Next Alpha. This is a new to me author. The writing style is a bit too simple for me. 2 stars.

Thanks for the picks.

Thanks for the picks, Karla! I finished both the books you chose from my list. I was hoping to manage Swimsuit as well, but unfortunately the library didn't have it available at the moment. I'll continue to keep an eye out for it though, since it sounds pretty good!


message 145: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Bea (gekrepten) | 650 comments Just finished my 2nd book... thanks!!! I finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle and i thought it was amazing. Can't believe it took me this long to read. Thanks for picking it, Marty!


Danielle  Gypsy Soul (afdaniellet) | 1919 comments Rachel,

I finished:

Beauty and the Wiener (A Rescue Dog Romance, #2) by Casey Griffin - Unfortunately the book sounded really cute but it just didn't work for me ★★

I still plan to read Take Me Back (Paradise, Idaho, #4) by Rosalind James before the end of the month


message 147: by Esther (new)

Esther | 60 comments I finished my first book Seeing Red (Ambassador #1) by Patty Jansen (a nice easy science fiction read; I liked how the world-building was intricate but didn't weigh the book down) and I have started my second book The Wise Man's Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2) by Patrick Rothfuss .

February has been so busy!! Hoping to get through more next month.


message 148: by Karla (new)

Karla Skandia thanks for the push to read Naked in Death (In Death, #1) by J.D. Robb ! I enjoyed it and plan on continuing on with the series.


Danielle  Gypsy Soul (afdaniellet) | 1919 comments Rachel,

Finished my second book Take Me Back. I gave it 4 stars. I liked the characters and the romance but the suspense part was just okay.


message 150: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (tellingmelies) | 540 comments I was able to finish 3 Sides to a Circle by Jolene Perry today - just in time! It was all right. Very hard to get into for me.
