Thanks, Ezi! I think I'm going to suck it up and finally read Sticks & Stones. I didn't enjoy the first book, but everyone says I have to give the series another chance. I can't tell you how many times this book has been picked for me for a challenge, and I never seem to pick it or get around to reading it. But it's time to read it and either decide the series is worth continuing or stopping for good.

I didn't fall in love with the series until book 3. Just like Kate Daniels. you have to give the author a chance to build the characters and the plot.
But Ty and Zane are definitely Book Baes!
I hope I get to pick for you again because you have soooo many books I wanted to recommend for you. Like over 30 books

[☘KathyD☘]

Hi Chelle...for March I am choosing
and
...and as a bonus, I choose
Happy Reading!

[Karina]

Theo, I pick for you:

and .

I haven't read either of them, but the first has been on my TBR for ages, and The Declaration looks very interesting!

Urban fantasy recommendation: How about a family whose legacy is not to hunt strange things, but to protect and preserve them, instead? With quippy protagonists, opposites who attract, and... a bunch of singing, talking mice. Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series is a favourite of mine, and starts with .

Happy reading!
