2nd pick: The Tower (Sancti Trilogy #3) by Simon Toyne The Tower

Esther | 60 comments Hi Trea

From your bookshelf, I pick So Right (Ribbon Ridge Love on the Vine #2) by Darcy Burke and Spicing Things Up by Judi Lynn for a food and wine pairing. :)

My romance tastes tend to run in all your off-limit sub-genres so I had a look around and this one seems to have a good score and sounds interesting: Undeniably Yours (Porter Family, #1) by Becky Wade .

(A book I have loved with a strong contemporary romance sub-plot is The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh but the book isn't primarily romance.)

Have an awesome March!

message 54: by Jasmine (last edited Feb 23, 2017 12:02PM) (new)

Jasmine (pikakejazz) I choose for Gen:
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell . It's been a while since I've read Gone with the Wind, but I remember liking it. The Haunting of Hill House has been on my TBR forever too!

Bonus: A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles Looks like you have a lot of classics on your dusty bookshelf so I chose a contemporary author of historical fiction, just to mix it up... This is one of my most recent favorites!

Karina,

I pick Lockstep by Karl Schroeder and Escapology by Ren Warom for you, both of which sound so interesting they went straight to my TBR from browsing your list. :D

And since I picked two sci-fi books so far, I'll give you some fantasy as a bonus: The Thousand Names (The Shadow Campaigns, #1) by Django Wexler (and the rest of the series out so far) was one of my favourite reads last year, so that's my recommendation for you.

Happy Reading!

Susan A | 2091 comments Mandy

Titans by Victoria Scott and The Mad King (The Dark Kings Book 1) by Jovee Winters

Additional pick:
I don't read urban fantasy, so I went to the Best Urban Fantasy Listopia first, but I couldn't find anything that wasn't on your TBR already, so I went to amazon and searched for March releases in Urban Fantasy and found City of Miracles (The Divine Cities, #3) by Robert Jackson Bennett , but that is a book 3. So...finally, my pick for you is City of Stairs (The Divine Cities, #1) by Robert Jackson Bennett -- book 1 in that series.
