If you go to my shelf (here) and type in a book or author into the smaller search box at the top, it will show you if I have that book on my shelf. I'm good at rating everything I've read, so if it has a rating then I've read it :)
Haha, books before food!
Hello KathyD! I just wanted to let you know that I will try to get your picks to you tomorrow night, and if not they will definitely be up on Saturday.
JojoWe have lots of read books in common, but not many on your TBR, so I am going a bit blind there. I hope something sounds intriguing.
1. Green Eggs and Ham: And the Rest is History by Jodi Taylor sounded pretty interesting. Or enjoy a fun romance during a cooking show as the H/h bring out the best in each other in A Taste of Heaven by Penny Watson.
2. Pippi Longstocking: Changeless by Gail Carriger - the first one was good. Romancing the Duke by Tessa Dare is a take on Beauty and the Beast that I really enjoyed.
3. The Boxcar Children: I've heard Amy Lane is good (I don't read M/M) so hopefully Making Promises is better than the cover. Or check out the beginning of a long running cozy mystery series set in the coolest mystery bookstore and with very likeable characters in Death On Demand by Carolyn G. Hart
4. The Story of Ferdinand: The Bad Luck Wedding Night by Geralyn Dawson sounds good. Or check out the pairing of a naïve seer and a loner vampire hunter in Semi-Charmed by Isabel Jordan.
5. A Wrinkle in Time: Kindred Hearts by Rowan Speedwell or get your Trekkie satire on with Redshirts by John Scalzi
6. Winnie-the-Pooh: Flawless by Heather Graham sounded interesting. Or go back to college to see the cocky (but adorable) hockey star and the drama major make The Deal by Elle Kennedy.
7. Where the Wild Things Are: This is on my TBR as well, so if you read it I'm curious what you think about it - Written in Red by Anne Bishop. I see you liked Ilona Andrews, so I think you would also enjoy Patricia Briggs. Mercy is a great character - a coyote shifter/mechanic who deals with the local werewolf pack in Moon Called.
8. Little House in the Big Woods: We are both at this book in the series - Hunted by Rebecca Zanetti. Or check out Stacy's crazy life dealing with her "witchy" relatives and the awesome dog, Thor, in Opal Fire by Barbra Annino.

Thank you for the tip tho, I"m new to this whole Groups thing - until a friend told me, I didn't even know there were groups or giveaways on GoodReads! The phone app doesn't show them.

Okay Kait, here are your picks! Green Eggs and Ham:
TBR: The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires - I just read this one (check my review) and really enjoyed this - laughed out loud many times. I read the second book "Witches' Guide" though, but wasn't nearly as impressed.
NEW: Last Bite - GREAT surprise read!
Pippi Longstocking:
TBR: Down London Road - Let me know how it is! I read On Dublin Street, but haven't gotten to this one yet.
NEW: Of Beast and Beauty - Yes it's a YA so no nookie scenes, but this is a fascinatingly unique, futuristic perspective on the Beauty and the Beast story. Beautifully written!
The Boxcar Children:
TBR: Silent in the Grave - AWEsome series!
NEW: Santerra's Sin - Before you judge, look up the cover on Amazon... then tell me you don't wanna climb those abs with your teeth... raawwrrr!! :P It's also a good pec.... I mean book...
The Story of Ferdinand:
TBR: Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover - Great ending to the Rules of Scoundrels series!
NEW: The Last Werewolf - Technically this is Horror/Fantasy, but while there is some gore (well he IS a werewolf), there's also some seriously hot nookie and ironic, satirical wit in between that makes it entertaining. Not to mention a really interesting perspective on the whole vampire/werewolf in modern day thing. (He's over 200 years old!)
A Wrinkle in Time:
TBR: Darkest Night - Thoroughly enjoyed this book!
Iron Queen - if I used the search right, it shows you haven't read this one yet. Was that because of the love triangle? Yeah... I loved Robin Goodfellow's character here too, but the third book brings it all together nicely. Excellent series, for a YA...
Winnie-the-Pooh:
NEW: The Duchess War - I can't say enough about this one... I adore Courtney Milan's writing and the Brother's Sinister series is fabulous! Her writing is entertaining and creative; her characters are believable; and the interactions between the four close friends is hysterical!
Barely a Lady First book in this excellent series - Drake's Rakes and there's a teeny, tiny bit of sky on the cover... :D
Where the Wild Things Are:
TBR: The Beast in Him - JUST for the cover... YUM!!
NEW: Dark Road to Darjeeling - Book #4 in Deanna Reybourn's Lady Julia Grey series, but it's the one I read first. It totally stands up on it's own (and there's a tiger in it). I'll also admit here and now to a shameless crush on Nicholas... :)
Little House in the Big Woods:
TBR: Winterblaze
NEW: A Knight in Shining Armor - Time travel is difficult, but this one... NAILED it. OH my heart...

Thank you so much for the picks, Sonja! :D I have no idea where I'll start, everything looks great. I really enjoyed your comments on the books too (haha I'll definitely have to read Santerra's Sin! :P).
Hey TamiieHere are your picks. I noted that you like books where there is a whole series to read so I have tried to pick new books that follow this. I hope you like them, if not let me know and I will pick something else.
Green Eggs and Ham:
TBR: The Promise - it has green on the cover and if I remember rightly the Bianchis own a pizza shop.
NEW - Extreme Exposure - it has green on the cover and is a great series although this is the first book and the weakest in my opinion. This is on your bookshelf but not rated so I assume you haven't read it.
Pippi Longstocking:
TBR: Feversong - it has red on the cover and is set in Europe.
NEW: Knight & Play - set in Europe and one of my book boyfriends.
The Boxcar Children:
TBR: Midnight Man - Suspense
NEW: Show No Mercy - Suspense & book 1 in a super fantastic series.
The Story of Ferdinand:
TBR: A Plain & Fancy Christmas - I'm hoping this covers sweet/innocent.
NEW:The Will - I adore Kristen Ashley and this has flowers on it. Again this is on your bookshelf but not rated.
A Wrinkle in Time:
TBR: Garrett - Black cover
NEW: Grimspace - I love this Romantic Sci-Fi series.
Winnie-the-Pooh:
TBR: Barely Breathing - I love Pamela Clare and this has sky on the cover.
NEW: First Grave on the Right - this has best friends Charley and Cookie. It is extremely funny and has another book boyfriend of mine lol.
Where the Wild Things Are:
TBR: Animal Attraction - a cute little kittie on the cover
NEW:Raphael - this is PNR and an awesome series. I've binge read the first 5 books in the last couple of months.
Little House in the Big Woods:
TBR: The Unidentified Redhead - it has trees on the cover.
NEW: The Sheik Retold - probably the only historical book I've read but I loved it.
