DO NOT SIGN UP if:

1. Do not think you will remember to pick for your pair on time. It's a hassle for people to keep waiting for a pick.

2. If you do no plan to return and update your original post with both the books you picked and the books picked for you. Just please don't sign up.

Hi Denise!

For you I pick: [bookcover:Daughter of Smoke & Bone|13600168] because it's on my TBR list as well. and A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer because I like the cover.

For your preferred genre, I apologize, I really don't know much about this genre and I had a hard time finding any lists that covered both historical romance and M/M or F/F. So, this may or may not fit the bill but hopefully is close to what you were looking for! - The Warrior's Path (When Women Were Warriors, #1) by Catherine M. Wilson

Thank you for the picks!! :D The Warrior's Path (When Women Were Warriors, #1) by Catherine M. Wilson not only sounds pretty good but the Kindle version also happened to be available for free, so I've promptly grabbed it and am looking forward to reading it. :)

Susan A.,

I pick An Unnatural Vice (Sins of the Cities, #2) by K.J. Charles and Draakenwood (Whyborne & Griffin, #9) by Jordan L. Hawk for you because I loved both of them.
As an added recommendation, I'll give you The First Real Thing (Icon Men, #1) by Cat Grant , which seems to be one of very very few M/M books I've read this year that you didn't already have on your shelves.

I couldn't find what was wrong with the cover but it was supposed to be Burned by Liz Long. Let me see if I can figure out why it keeps something another cover

Hi Ezi, I'm choosing Retribution (The Protectors, #3) by Sloane Kennedy and Beast (Twisted Ever After, #1) by A. Zavarelli . For the bonus, I grabbed title from your TBR - All the Breaking Waves by Kerry Lonsdale

Theo, I pick for you -
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple because I loved it, and Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson because I think we should all revisit the classics. For your bonus mystery I suggest another classic, Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot, #10) by Agatha Christie because the movie remake is coming out.

I hope you enjoy them!

Chelle
