Hi Amanda,I picked
because it sounded really interesting and
because I know how hard it can be to be away from a series for too long. I recommended
. I read one of the books in this series, and I believe it classifies as an Urban Fantasy/Romance/Sci-Fi. I hope this recommendation fits your request. :)
Hi LaurLa!I pick for you
and
My Bonus pick for you is
"Get ready for Jaime Vegas, the luscious, lovelorn and haunted necromancer. . ."Jamie and Jeremy are my favorite Otherworld couple! Genre: Paranormal Romance and Romantic Suspense
I pick for EnglishElle:
and
Chosen Genre: I had to look up what an Epistolary Fiction is, so I hope that one of these two books will work for you. I haven't read either:
and
Hi, Gabriela my picks for you are
and
My recommendation for romance, I feel like I have a million options for you since you say that you want to get more in M/M romance:
the beginning to one of the best M/M series ever written; it's totally character driven and that's what makes these books (and don't be discouraged if the first couple of books you're not too crazy about, because it's the third one that really hits it out of the ball park).
one of my all-time favorites.
another one of my favorites that doesn't get all the love it deserves in my opinion.Sorry for all the recs, but ughhhhh. I want just make you read all of the M/M.
Jodi,For you I pick:
- Love this series
- Because it sounds interesting
- I have heard good things about this authorAnd as a bonus:
- I adore the Hamish MacBeth books and I loved the the tv show that was eventually made from them. This series just recently published number 32 in the series so though its an older book, I am hoping you will be able to find it
Marty,
My picks for you:
, which I thought was a pretty good read, and
, because I really like the sound of the title.
Additionally, my recommendation for you is
. It's the first book in one of my favourite historical mystery series.
Happy Reading!

Okay, so I am totally out of my element recommending M/M books, but you rated that author high and that is the highest average rated of her books here on GR... Not quite a random pick, but close!! Hope you enjoy - if you decide to try :-)

I've never read this but I want to! BONUS:
b/c I recently read it and thought it was pretty gosh darn good! But if you want something lighter...

AmandaI enjoyed all 3 picks this month. Thank you!
Joy Apr 10 ★★★
Spring Fling Apr 6 ★★★
Dragons, Diamonds, and Discord Apr 2 ★★★★★
Just finished The Book of Night Women. That was tough to get into, since it was written in Jamaican dialect, but so good once I got into the flow of it. Thanks for picking that for me!
Finished
. Aside from the beautiful cover, I was sadly disappointed in this one. I'm wavering between 2-3 stars :/ Don't you hate when a cover fools you?
LaurLa,I finished
. I enjoyed it but I was also just a little disappointed. I had high expectations for this book and the romance part fell short with all the violence in it. Still gave it 4 stars. Working on the other pick and the genre pick still :)
