Agnieszka wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "I finished one of Barb's picks for me -- -- 4 stars. Quirky, but not so quirky that the story becomes about the quirkiness, light but piercing touch ..."They do all have that look for sure, although I think "monaco" is in the 50s and "bonnie" is in the early 30s. Maybe vintage fashion was popular even then!
Finished the book that Jennifer chose for me a bit ago, and it was every bit as good as the people who recommended it said it would be :) The Bungalow, by Sarah Jio, finished 2/3 ★★★★

Glad you liked it!
It made me want to go to Bora-Bora, but that's not happening any time soon lol

I'm going to jump in with this challenge - let me know if I've got it wrong.
For you Jennifer, I select the book with the bright yellow dress - it just catches your eye.
My next five are:

Great pick and you’re practically perfect in every way! :-)
DenXXX, I pick for you
- it looks like a perfect Valentine's Day bookMy next five are book I'm considering for the PopSugar challenge:
(After I found out the KU copy of The Princess Bride is an abridged edition, I change my mind about it)

Agnieszka, for you I choose

Barb, I pick for you
- the cover jumped at me (and on my watch list *grins*)To get a book in time for March I decided to put up a selection of book I can get from KU that fit my monthly challenges. So my next five are:
Agnieszka, I'm picking
for you because that title grabbed me.My next five:
Jennifer wrote: "Agnieszka, I'm picking for you because that title grabbed me.My next five:
[bookcover:The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt|420837..."
Thank you!
Agnieszka wrote: "Barb, I pick for you - the cover jumped at me (and on my watch list *grins*)"With that cute doggo on the cover, how could it not jump out at you? LOL Thanks :)
Jennifer wrote: "Agnieszka, I'm picking for you because that title grabbed me"And I've just added it to my to-read list :) Dugoni is near the top of my must-read authors list, and I'm curious to see how he handles non-fiction.
Jennifer, I'm picking
the colours are beautiful and caught my eye straight away.
Barb wrote: "And I've just added it to my to-read list :) Dugoni is near the top of my must-read authors list, and I'm curious to see how he handles non-fiction."It's the same for me plus I needed a true crime/mystery book for the PopSugar challenge and since it's something I'm not really fond of it's a case of two birds and one stone *grins*
Laura wrote: "......"Wow this one looks so great. I'll see if I can get it on sale.
I'm so far behind on this challenge and I don't even care. Laura, i'm picking
- the cover looks so dreamy. My next five:
I finished my book posted on #304:One Pink Line by Dina Silver - 3/21/20 ♥♥♥♥
I originally added this to my TBR to fulfill a couple of challenges, and I liked it very much. A new-to-me author and some great relatable characters.
So since I can't ever allow myself to catch up, I'll choose again:Jennifer, I'm picking
for you because of that deep purple color and the lights at the top that draw the eye.My next five:
I'm behind by 8 and don't care -- i just read the description on
AND saw that it's "read and listen for free with kindle unlimited," which made it leap onto my list forthwith. I'm picking it for you, Connie! My next five:
Thank you Jennifer, the pick of
. The book itself very much fits the dreamy cover and I loved it, actually ended up reading before picked but I'm glad you chose too.

Jennifer, I pick for you
because the cover's so beautiful and so light and I imagined I were there right now...I desperatelly need something light and/or fun, so here comes:
Well, since you're desperate, Agnieszka, I'll have to pick another one. That bright purple jumped out at me, so I'll choose
My next five (staying away from the pastels this time):

Thank you so much. After reading recently the previous one in series (which is today free) I'm looking forward to this one and since my battery should be full now I'm going off to start the fun :-)
BTW: I loved the cover of the first one even more
(who can resist a muffin & grenade combo *grins*) and it's so fitting - a great mixture of fun, hot, much action (fight & sex scenes) and such great characters. No nacked guy on this cover but his description makes up for it *yummy*
@Agnieszka -- great pick, and that author just got picked for me over at "Finish What You Started" so your timing was great!@ Connie -- I'm picking
for you -- the white dress against the green background caught my eye and I think it may be the most thoroughly clothed cover figure I've ever seen you post (KIDDING!)My next five:
Well, I've got to have a few books with overly clothed people on the covers to make up for the others. (And thanks for the pick.)
yeah, I'd hate for your list to catch a chill.
I think you've been browsing through my list in your spare time. You know more about it than I do!
Connie N. wrote: "I think you've been browsing through my list in your spare time. You know more about it than I do!"All of us browse though your list, Connie. :-)
Agnieszka wrote: "Connie N. wrote: "Well, since you're desperate, Agnieszka, I'll have to pick another one. That bright purple jumped out at me, so I'll choose ..."I finished the book last night and even if it was not as great as expected it was still fun and entertaining. Thank you Connie!
Jennifer, I pick for you
because: knitting, so much blue, a dog - what's not to like (the last time I had a hard time to decide between this one and my previous pick - so now you get both of them *grins*)My next five light reading books:
Agnieszka, I'll pick the cute dog cover since that caught my eye first. Our neighbor has a show dog that looks something like that, and she walks it by our house several times a day:
Which means it's hot guy cover time again:

Thank you so much!
Conny, I pick for you
because I think cowboys are hot!My next five books (in the hope I get a pick before I finish my current two):

Barb, I chickened out on this one. Since it's a KU book, it will take a little longer than I thought now that my trial membership expires next week. I still plan to read it and think I'll join KU end of summer for a month (or a couple of them) just won't be able to tell you how it is very soon. Sorry!
Agnieszka: I'm picking
for you -- it got picked for me in HMD this past year and it's on my pending-soon list also as a result. :)My next five:

No problem, I understand the KU expiration thing -- my membership expires tomorrow :)
Jennifer, I love the cover of
so much I had to pick it.My next five books (in the hope I get a pick before I finish my current two):
Agnieszka, i'm giving in to your desire to add to your backlist and picking
for you. obviously I"m going to have to buckle down on my own backlist here. Fortunately a lot of them are on audio and I have some time on my hands these days.
My next five:
How many are on your to-read list for this challenge now, Jennifer?
