How It Will Work:
1) Please only post no more than 10 books that you would like to read this month.
*minimum 4 books.
2) An assigned person will FIRST pick TWO BOOKS from your post series.
3) SECOND, the assigned person will recommend ONE MORE from a Genre of your choice.
4) You have one month: FEBRUARY 2018 to try to read one of the chosen books. You can read ALL THREE if you would like (*if you don't read your book this month, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT)
5) Please try to select for your pair ASAP as we all get excited and waiting is torture to some.

Connie N. picks for me:













Preferred genre: historical fiction, horror

I choose for you:


You have a lot of my favourite space opera on your TBR already! So if I’m going to rec something that isn’t Lois McMster Bujold, Ann Leckie, Becky Chambers or any of the others you already have on there, I´m going to go with


Happy reading!



Preferred Genre: I don't read horror or dark fantasy so don't know much about them, so I went with these and hope one of them works for you:


Enjoy!

I've chosen for you:


Preferred Genre: I am completely clueless in the genres you have listed and all the fantasy books I would recommend, you already have in your shelves. So the best I can do is a fictional crime novel that is murder mystery but not historical:

I hope that works. Enjoy! :)



and bonus:

I don't read new adult so it was hard for me to pick anything. My "new adult" niece loves this series so I hope you'll enjoy reading it, too.
