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.

[bookc..."Hi Denise!
For you I pick: [bookcover:Daughter of Smoke & Bone|13600168] because it's on my TBR list as well. and
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! -

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
