[Kaity]

Hiya Sandy! I enjoyed returning to your shelf (having been there recently for M&G), unfortunately I've already recommended to you most of the books on it that I've read/heard of. You read a lot of genres that I don't. I still gave you a bunch of picks from that shelf though. Hopefully it helps you out and they're not crummy!

Blue:
Still Alice by Lisa Genova (M&G Shelf)
Blue & Peaceful Cover - I haven't heard of this book before but the cover really stood out to me. It's got a high average rating, hopefully it's enjoyable to you.
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen (NEW)
Peaceful Cover - I love how 'soft' this one's cover looks. I saw you've enjoyed other books by Dessen but didn't have this one on your shelf. I haven't read anything by her in a while long but this is a book I've kept with me since I read/loved it in high school.



Green:
The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness (M&G Shelf)
Green Cover - Eek! Now that the third book is finally out I really have no excuse not to read this series myself. I've heard great things about it.
Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey (NEW)
Renewed Relationship & Green Cover - I really enjoyed this book. All of its characters are unique and interesting. It's hilarious but very deep as well. Second chance relationships are one of my least favorites but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.



Red:
City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare (M&G Shelf)
Energy - I've only read City of Bones so far but I loved the characters' energy and the pacing of the story.
Desire Unchained by Larissa Ione (NEWish)
Red Cover & Passion - This was on your TBR but not on the M&G shelf so I'm being a little cheaty :P An awesome passionate series though and this one has a vibrant red cover, how perfect for this category!



Purple:
Fly Away by Kristin Hannah (M&G Shelf)
Purple Cover - I'm not familiar with this author at all but I saw you enjoyed other books by her and the cover is gorgeous.
Holiday in Death by J.D. Robb (NEWish)
Favorite 'Grounding' Author - Another one on your TBR but not M&G shelf. I love this series to pieces. I love its consistency, every time I open a book it feels homey and welcoming yet there are still surprises to keep me guessing.



Black:
Panic by Lauren Oliver (M&G Shelf)
Dark Story & Black Cover - The one has a blackish cover and the summary sounds fairly dark. I'm familiar with Oliver but haven't read any of her books. From what I've seen this one was a hit or miss, hopefully it's a hit for you!
Vicious by V.E. Schwab (NEW)
Secrets & Dark Story - I'm a little hesitant about recommending this book. I LOVED it but there's really nothing to compare it to to judge whether you might like it. Schwab's writing style reminds me a lot of Neil Gaiman but the story is utterly unique and enthralling. Vicious was nominated for best fantasy on GR.



Orange:
Comanche Heart by Catherine Anderson (M&G Shelf)
Orange Cover - I've never read anything by Anderson but I've seen her mentioned every once in a while and it's always very positively. I don't read many westerns but this sounds like a good series.
Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (NEW)
Adventurous - Urban fantasy is a very adventurous genre. I've not personally read this series but it's always being recommended to me.



Yellow:
Tea Time for the Traditionally Built by Alexander McCall Smith (M&G Shelf)
A Thinker - Probably not the 'thinkerest' of books but if you're like me, then at the very least you'll be trying to puzzle out the mystery before the characters.
A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare (NEW)
Intelligent - I love Dare's books. I love her intelligent stories and characters. This book has lots of brilliant (and slightly mad) characters to enjoy.



Pink:
Son of the Shadows by Juliet Marillier (M&G Shelf)
Pink Cover - I saw you really enjoyed the first in the series and this one had a pinksh cover. Hope you enjoy this book just as much!
Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper (NEW)
Paranormal Romance - I really enjoy this series, it's fun. The silliness and characterizations reminds me a lot of the Stephanie Plum books.

[Shelby]

~Leslie~

You and I have WAY too similar tastes! Took me forever to find books you hadn't read or wasn't already on your TBR. Ok after much deliberation here are my thoughts for you...

Blue:
New – Tiger's Curse - Fantastic YA series!
TBR – Written in Red - Adore Anne Bishop can't wait to read this one!!!


Green:
New – The Princess Bride - A classic and I figure it's not only a green cover and a renewed relationship. :D
TBR – The Lightning Thief - Really enjoyed this series.


Red:
New – The Diamond Throne - One of my favorite classic fantasy series. And Sparhawk has quite the passion for his queen.
TBR – His Majesty's Dragon - Wonderful blend of history, fantasy, and dragons


Purple:
New – Sebastian - She's one of my all time favorite authors too. :D
TBR – Nobody's Baby But Mine


Black:
New – Alice in Zombieland - Love!
TBR – Veil of Midnight - Love!


Orange:
New – The Student Prince - So I'm considering this as adventurous for you since you haven't read any M/M. If it doesn't appeal please just ignore this, but this is one of my all time favorites, fantastic modern twist on the Arthurian legends!
TBR – Nightkeepers - Wonderful series!


Yellow:
New – Caverns of Socrates - Lovely romance in the side plot but will definitely make you think.
TBR – The Unsung Hero - I figure I guy who starts his own merc company and a doctor count for the smarts. ;)


Pink:
New – Witchling - Woohoo!!! A paranormal romance you're not familiar with!
TBR – Air Bound - Want to read this one!

[~Leslie~]

Wow, Shelby!! For having a hard time - you did a fantastic job!! Even though I only pick 2, all the new ones are definitely going on my TBR!! I'm so excited! There are a couple I was already going to read for other challenges, and one I've already read. Sorry about that. Not sure how it ended up on my TBR. So I have to think about which other ones I'm going to read. I will let you know!! So much fun (rubbing my hands together!!)

[Shelby]

I may have missed that it was marked read since I was looking at cover views most of the time too. I tried to bounce around your different TBR lists. But I could very well have clicked somewhere random and gotten a book you'd read. Sorry!

[Sassafrass]

Hi siriusedward!
We have MUCH different tastes on most books, so I tried to go with one book on your TBR and one that's not for each category. I hope that you can find something to work with! If you need repicks, PM me and I'll try to fix things for ya. :)

Most of the ones on your TBR I picked for their color because I don't much about the book, but the rec's are books I'm more familiar with.


Blue :
(TBR)
(rec) I saw some of the others in this series on your shelf, so why not read the first in the series. I really enjoyed this one.

Green :
(TBR)
(rec) this was a cute book featuring some characters you may have already met in previous books by this author but they embark on a new facet of their relationship.


Red :
(TBR and rec) this was sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed this one.
(TBR)

Purple :
(TBR)
(rec) This is one of my all time favorite authors, you've not had much success with her in the past, but give this first book in the Chicago Stars series a try. It's one of my favorite books

Black :
(TBR)
(TBR and rec)--talk about secrets. This was a very interesting book. And it has the added benefit of having a black cover!

Orange :
(TBR) orange and an adventure
(rec) this series is a great adventure, we have a two thousand year old druid, his dog, and a whole of lot mythology on earth...what could possibly go wrong? I love this series.

Yellow :
(TBR)
(TBR) I don't know anything about this one, but cake makes me happy, so I recommend it!

Pink :
(TBR)
(rec) Great book, I laughed and swooned.

So, here you go. I hope you can find a one or a few that you'd like to read!

[Karen ♐]

Runell, please feel free to pick from any of my TBR lists. Thanks.

Hi, Kait! Thanks for re-visiting my shelves. These are great picks! I want to read all of them, but sadly I have a full time job, and also my family and dogs want attention too. :-)

Let's see...

I can probably read since I own them already. looks really good. I've never read this author but I do enjoy historicals. I'll see if I can get my hands on it. and are all books I've been wanting to read for awhile. We'll see how the month goes. Thanks again!

Hi Gigi,

Thanks for the great picks. I've put a number of them on my TBR list (will I ever get it smaller?! LOL).

I've read The Red Tent before and thought it was great. Not sure how it ended up on my TBR but that's OK.

It's a toss up between and (which I've tried to read at least twice before) and .

Thanks again.

Ok Breann, finally finished! Just FYI, I made most of my picks based on the assumption that you like strong alphas with equally strong betas (Even alpha/alpha). I hope I'm not way off base with that conclusion. Sometimes good books are just good books regardless of that type of distinction and sometimes the color of the cover was just right, lol. Here we go...

1. Blue:
2. Green:
3. Red:
4. Purple:
5. Black:
6. Orange: , A new genre for you, but a great read.
7. Yellow:
8. Pink:

I think I have a good mix of genres here but I emphasized m/m. Hope you find something you like. HAPPY READING!!

[Dee]

Just This Once (N2U) - I love this author and this was a good book to kick off the series

More Than This (N2U) - this is on my Kindle wishlist, so let me knwo if you wanna do a Buddy Read

Red
Kill the Competition (TBR) - lots of red on the cover
Personal Assets (N2U) - Kelsey is one of my favorite new discoveries and the book is def. hot in a few places

Purple
The Reluctant Dom (TBR) - I loved this book, very emotional
Grand Central: Original Stories of Postwar Love and Reunion (N2U) - short stories, but I was a blubbering mess during at least 3 of them

Forbidden (TBR) - this was a 5 star read for me

Hi Brett - Here are your picks. I tried to blend both the color of the cover with the subject matter recommendation. That strategy may have ended up producing some odd picks - but I hope you can still enjoy. Let me know if you need any re-picks.

Blue:
NEW: A New World by Patricia McLinn – besides his stare being pretty intense, a peaceful blue scene
TBR: The Wanderer by Robyn Carr – I think most of Robyn Carr’s covers are peaceful. This one has blue.


Green:
NEW: Magnolia Summer by Jaci Burton – a renewed and new relationship, also some green on cover
TBR: His Wife For A While by Donna Fasano – new relationship, green cover


Red:
NEW: Dare Me by Jocelyn Bell – lots of passion (and red)
TBR: The Geek Next Door by Lauren Fraser – one of my favorite tropes. The reviews hint at a lot of hotness (read: passion), so that’s what I’m basing the pick on. Oh and the red in the cover.


Purple:
NEW: Truth or Dare by Lori Foster – Lori Foster, Maries Force, Jill Shalvis, Julie James, Susan Mallery, Shannon Stacey, Lora Leigh, Lorelie James – all contemp authors who I know will give me a satisfying read that will get me on an even keel (well, the last two might raise my heartbeat a bit…). This one is a trilogy of yummy novellas in a purple cover.
TBR: Nauti Boy by Lora Leigh – see above… slightly purplish cover ;-) Also very alpha-hole H's but so in love with the h's you have to forgive them.


Black:
NEW: Night Blooming Jasmine by Alicia Thorne – I’m thinking the whole Brotherhood thing is a big ole secret from the world! Story is kind of dark, too. And then there’s the cover.
TBR: Hot Rock by Annie Seaton – this sounds really interesting and like they have secrets from each other.


Orange:
NEW: Riding Wild by Jaci Burton – Yes, this is the second Jaci Burton, but it’s got adventure and it’s got orange.
TBR: Forged in Fire by by Trish McCallan – there is definitely lots of adventure in this one. And I love this series, though it's slow as molasses at being written or released.


Yellow:
NEW: Ring of Fire by Heather Huffman – kind of a cheesy cover but the h is a scientest and it’s a good story
TBR: The Theory of Attraction by Delphine Dryden – He’s a scientest, and there’s yellow on the cover ;-)


Pink:
NEW: Almost Perfect by Denise Domning – pretty in pink. I enjoyed this book a lot.
TBR: A Girl Like You by Maria Geraci – very pink. Sounds interesting, too.

Hi Shelby I think I've finally decided what to read.

Here are the ones that I was planning on reading


New Book to read
I've been wanting to read this author for awhile.

I also picked up on my free subscription to Kindle Unlimited. Not sure if I will get to it, but I'm going to try! I love this movie!!

hi Karen,

Did you pick for all the other colours as well? They just don't seem to be showing up on my screen that's all. It may be my computer or GRs I'm not sure so I thought I'd check.

My to-read-asap shelf is a lot more manageable! And really what is is on my radar. On the plain to-read shelf is a lot of freebies and stuff given to me that I might or might not get to someday. I also try to keep the next in series on my to-read-asap to help make that easier too.

But I'm looking forward to what you come up with for me!

Before I finished I clicked post instead of preview. It should be correct now - I hope!

Hi Carina,

You have a very small TBR (30). I don't think I've seen anyone with a TBR in two digits. May I know the secret?My own TBR seems to be multiplying when I'm not looking. Our tastes look to be a little different so I hope these choices work for you. For each category, I've included one from your TBR and one new for you. Let me know if I need to repick.

Blue:
The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier

Green:
Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh - Why don't you give this series of hers a try?
The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer

Red:
The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson - You liked the first book so why not continue the series?
Shards of Honour by Lois McMaster Bujold - An excellent sci-fi series.

Purple:
The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen
Sea Swept by Nora Roberts
Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

Black:
The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

Orange:
The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough
Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

Yellow:
Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Pink:
The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy
Something About You by Julie James - I know you didn't like her debut book but do give this a try. It is so much better than that.



Happy Reading, Carina!

1. Blue: Reasonable Doubt: Volume 1: Who doesn't love a man in a suit? [1-TBR-This-Month]

2. Green: Starfish and Coffee: This is one of my favorites, if not the favorite, of the year. A wonderful second chance romance. [New to You]

4. Purple: Witness [New to You] or A Younger Man [New to You] I love them both so much.

6. Orange: Something Like Summer: Very orange cover. [New to You]

7. Yellow: Try: One of the main characters is a lawyer . . . I'd say that would make him pretty smart. [1-TBR-This-Month]

8. Pink: Chase the Storm: *Sigh* I love this one too . . . [New to You]

I hope you enjoy whichever you pick!
