Hi True.magic, signups have closed for this month. If you are interested, I can add you to repicks though. Please confirm here that you want to be added. If you do, you will make and receive picks on the 29th. =)

Drop Dead, Gorgeous (The World's Worst Detective, #1) by Jastrzebski, Mike (TBR) - Naked person.

These look great, Ashley. I can't wait to dig in. My only problem will be which one to choose to start with - lol!
Thank you!

[HeatherMarie]

Kait~
These look terrific thanks! I don't know if was intentional or not but each pick you made is super accessible/affordable- thanks!

[Romanticbookworm]

Thanks for my picks Rachel C. I thought I had linked my pick shelf but I see a few of the picks I have been neglecting although some I might need to check out of my library. I also added In Too Deep to my Kindle. I also like the look of egomaniac as well and Him sounds good as well but might need to wait and see if it comes down in price for Kindle. Thanks for the great picks and will see what I fancy reading come September :).

PS Does anyone else's lists grow tons after scanning everyone else's picks because I think mines shot up this month lol.

Oops, I didn't check your original post; I just followed the link in the pairs post. Let me know if you want me to go back and edit the tbr picks to ones that are on that shelf... I enjoyed looking through your shelves and I always miss things the first time ;)

And I agree! My list grows every time. I keep having to go back and edit it down to a more reasonable size (if I can bring myself to edit it at all) lol

My apologies Romanticbookworm, I saw the self name and meant to include it, but after putting in the link to your profile I simply forgot since I didn't have another tab open with the shelf! If you need more/different picks let me know. Again, my apologies!

Mountainkat/Rachel - It's okay I can gleam a few picks from the list that I will be able to read and it will save you the hassle of repicks.

Thanks for the picks! I have bought both the Tim Winton books - I can't choose which one. I have been wanting to read his work for so long and now is the time!! :)

[Pam]

Hi Vandhana-
Many of the books from your TBR shelf aren't romances but fit the category so I went with it!

Hot In Here, nearly naked people: From your TBR OR

Beach, water: TBR OR New

Weather: TBR OR

Cold Weather: New OR

Fire: TBR or

Stay or go, multiple locations TBR or New

Football, exercise New or

Back to School, YA and children TBR or

Hope you find something here. I just finished Welcome to Paradise for August and it was cute. The Magic series is one of my personal favorites and I really likes Close to You. A Walk in the Woods is a personal favorite; I've taught it several times. If you can find the audio version that Bill Bryson narrates himself, it is hysterical. Happy reading!

[Irene]

@MissKim - Excellent picks! I'm going with Archer's Voice and maybe a Narnia story or two. I have a big tbr for next month, but I'll definitely read more if I have the time. Thank you.
I already have three of the new ones on my tbr/read though. You don't need to pick new ones though, as I'm going with another one as I mentioned :)

No problem, you still have time! I'm just glad you saw the reminder since I couldn't send you a message. I hope your little one is feeling better! Nothing is worse as a mom that seeing your baby hurting!

Thank you for the picks! I can see a few that I will read (I actually just picked up Burn for Me by Cynthia Eden from the library). I've actually already read Him (several times) and loved it (don't worry about another pick, I'm good with all the other goodies... and I might just reread Him anyways 'cause I love, love, love that book) :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Rachel C. wrote: "and I might just reread Him anyways 'cause I love, love, love that book) :) "

That is a good one!! And don't forget, you can use the series rule and I absolutely think their other series that includes characters from Us works for the series rule! =)
