Beppy,Thanks for being patient. I hope you like the list, but if not, please let me know because there are many more I could recommend. We seem to like a lot of the same types so it was easy to pick for you.
Blue The Sea of Tranquility - tranquility in the title
The Homecoming - good romance, blue on cover
Green Dancing at the Harvest Moon - renewed relationship, good story
Silent in the Grave- excellent romance/mystery with strong main characters who balance each other
Red Simply Irresistible - red on cover, steamy passion
Can't Stand The Heat - red on cover, plus passion
Purple Julia's Chocolates - fav author and one of my all-time favorite books, romance but so much more
I'm In No Mood For Love - purple on cover, plus one of my fav romance authors

Leather, Lace and Rock-n-Roll - intelligent character
Pink Ashes in the Wind - really good author - I have read all of her books
P.S. I Love You - pink on cover, good story
Happy Reading! Again, please let me know if you need more choices!
AaratiI got lost in your TBR for a while, but I finally found my way out. I hope you like your picks.
Blue: Dark Descendant by Jenna Black. Interesting new take on some of the older mythologies, with an emphasis on Greek. The beginning is a bit confusing as the heroine is as much in the dark as the reader, but it quickly clears up. Or for something a bit more tranquil - Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen.
Green: You get a new relationship with Naked in Death by J.D. Robb and this relationship will last for the 30+ books in the series and Eve and Roarke are great together. Or you get a second chance romance with Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey. A big family camping trip with a bit a blackmail makes for fun.
Red: Tempting Danger by Eileen Wilks has the passion of fated romance against the backdrop of a war of gods. Or follow a fury on a quest for vengeance with Red Hot Fury by Kasey MacKenzie
Purple: Have a fun romp with lots of kids in the historical romance The Trouble With Harry by Katie MacAlister or check out a paranormal cozy mystery set in a town of "crafters" in It Takes a Witch by Heather Blake
Black: This book lives up to the hype - The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Or visit an academy that is getting teenagers from all sorts of pantheons (Greek, Spartan, Amazon, Valkyrie, etc) ready for the chaos wars of Loki's followers in Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep
Orange Destiny Kills by Keri Arthur has the most intriguing opening paragraphs I've read. This is kind of like James Bond in the paranormal world - The Man With the Golden Torc by Simon R. Green is a great action packed ride
Yellow: If you like humorous romance at all, you must check out Jennifer Crusie. Bet Me is one of my favorites by her and fits because the hero is a trainer/teacher. This I picked for the yellow cover and fun chase story with the sweetest Great Dane puppy - Hot
Pink: Jayne Ann Krentz is my favorite author, so I couldn't resist recommending White Lies from your TBR. I just re-read this one recently and really like the story and how the heroine coped with lying. Or you can check out an Alaskan town that has a yearly competition for the bachelors in Baby It's Cold Outside by Addison Fox.
Sassafrass, I hope you like the list.

Blue : Blue symbolises trust & responsibility, it seeks peace & tranquility
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - blue cover (TBR)
The Sweetest Seduction by Crista McHugh - peace & tranquility (NEW)I read this one recently and liked it.
Green : Green symbolises balance, harmony and growth. It creates equilibrium between the heart and head, renewal and rebirth
For You by Kristen Ashley - renewed relationship (TBR)This is the start of a really good series. The 2nd book At Peace is also great, but my favorite of the series is Games of the Heart (there are two romances in one book and one of them is really sweet! I've re-read it many, many times.)
Until November by Aurora Rose Reynolds - new relationship (NEW)Great book! It was sexy and funny!
Red : Red symbolises energy, passion & action
More than Meets the Ink by Elle Aycart - passion (TBR)Tattoos and piercings...very hot! The 2nd in the series is also pretty good about a girl who is BBW.
Hot in Here by Sophie Renwick - passion (very hot!) (NEW)Such a great book and the hero is a dirty-talker (and dirty-thinker). Too bad the author seems to have fallen off and not written anything after or continued on to the next book in this series.
Purple : Purple symbolises imagination & spirituality. It represents the future and keeps us grounded
Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley - purple cover (TBR)Great book, pretty funny and fun. Read the rest of the series they are great! My favorite is Rock Chick Regret (have tons of tissue available)
Law Man by Kristen Ashley - grounded (a go to book for me, read over 10 times) (NEW)I love this book! Mitch is great! Goes to show that there can be a great, sexy romance where the hero is NOT a billionaire (sometimes those get old) and the day to day problems (like money and kids) make this story real.
Black : Black symbolises those things that are hidden, secretive, unknown. It creates an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside and hidden from the world. It's intimidating, unfriendly and unapproachable
Tempted by Alexandra Anthony - big/small secret (TBR)This sounds great. I've added it to my TBR.
Take Me by T.A. Grey - big/small secret (and FREE on AMAZON!) (NEW)I read this for a freebie challenge and was VERY surprised how good it was! A new author for me that I will read more of.
Orange : Orange symbolises adventure & social communication. It also symbolises exhibitionism, showing off and stimulates the appetite
Stripped by Jasinda Wilder - exhibitionism (TBR)This story sounds so good that I've added it to my TBR! LOL!
Wildest Dreams by Kristen Ashley - adventurous (NEW)A different book than what Kristen Ashley writes, but it is just as good as her other ones. I loved this entire series.
Yellow : Yellow symbolises the mind & intellect, logic and happiness
Losing It by Cora Carmack - teacher (TBR)This book was good, but if you have to pick from this category please, please, please go with my other suggestion!
Tangled by Emma Chase - intelligent woman (NEW)I loved this book! I liked how it was from hero's POV and loved how we get an inside scoop on the inner workings of the male.
Pink : Pink symbolises unconditional love, nurture & understanding. It's also the colour of romance
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks - romance (TBR)I haven't read the book, but the movie has got to be listed as one of the most romantic movies ever! And the rain scene where they kiss? Yummm! Many times the movie doesn't do the book justice so this book should be even better!
The Bride by Julie Garwood - romance (NEW)I've been reading a lot of erotica romance the last few years, but this book is still one of my all-time favorites! It is sweet and funny and made me laugh. The heroine is feisty and wonderful. Julie Garwood has a great writing style (at least her early romances).
Thanks Raine!!! I already see a few on there that I'm definitely excited for. =]

Hi Mountain Kat:Here are your picks I hope you find something to while away the summer hours.
BLUE:
TBR:
Great story, read it before it comes out in the movies. I wonder how they will do it justice because it is a long book.NEW:

TBR:
only a little green on this cover but it looks goodNEW:
This is a fun alternate reality to the Jane Eyre story. It is not necessary to be familiar with the original book to enjoy it. it is wacky and futuristic-ish.It is a fun read.RED:
TBR:
Red cover and it seems very passionateNEW:
This is the beginning of the Dark Hunter series. It is dark-hunter lite. More fun romance and can stand alone by itself. Love this series and really enjoyed this book.PURPLE:

an anthology that has the early stories of a couple of really greater series.NEW:
This was a book recommended many times and when I finally read it I wondered what too me so long to read it.BLACK:
TBR:
I love this series. It is one of my favorite series. I'm not up to this one yet but I'm getting there.NEW:

Carla_Collette wrote: "Raine—There isn’t a lot of overlap between our books, but I relied heavily on your preferred shelf. Hope that you find a book that looks good."Carla_Collette - thanks so much for the picks! I can't wait to start reading!
@Joyce, Outlander is going to be a series on STARZ. I hoping that will do it better justice since it can incorporate more from the book instead of trying to pare it down into a 2 hour movie!
Thanks for the picks, Lisa! I am definitely going to get to most of the ones from my TBR, but there are a few that you recommended that I'll be looking at as well. I'll post which ones as I go.Thanks again!
Lekshmy's PicksHi Lekshmy! We didn't have a lot in common, so I recommend a lot of different genres in hopes that you would be able to find something to read. Some of them I did just on colors of the covers, some are books in series you haven't started, and some are entirely new authors. I hope you are able to find something to enjoy in the month of August!

Joyce, I'm so glad you like your picks!
Phone Kitten was a freebie awhile ago and I picked it up. It's lendable, so I can lend it to you if you want to read it (before or after me). If you have Amazon Prime, you can borrow it for free from the site.
Thanks for the picks Joyce! I plan to start Outlander as soon as I finish the audiobook I have going now - so before August starts. You picked it and it was picked last month too, so it sort of counts for both months. =)I also plan to read Any Given Sunday and Then Came You. Hopefully I can get to more too!

Thank you!
My secret is simple: I rarely anticipate books. I usually pick them up by chance and start reading them immediately. So I end up spending so much time actually reading that I don't have time to look for other books! :P

Dee So sorry, the best laid plans ....Didn't get back in last night until after 11 p.m. Once we put the groceries away it was late and I thought I'd work on it this morning. Got up at 6 and the internet was out. It was out most of the morning and I had my nephew's fifth birthday party this afternoon. I'm home now and as long as the storms hold off long enough to keep the computer on, I can work on your picks now.

LOl. It would be much better done as a series that way.
Outlander premieres August 9 at 9pm on Starz - first season is 16 episodes - episode 1 roughly covers thru chapter 4 in the book

Sure! That would be great :)
Sorry for the delay, hope you're having fun today. Let me know if there are any problems.Blue
Hustled To The Altar by Dani Collins -- (blue cover, from your mng shelf) This looks like it could be a fun book.
Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley -- (blue cover, new) I started reading Ashley's books this year and fell in love with the men, the humor, the men ... did I mention the guys?
Green
Then Came You by Jill Shalvis -- (green cover, mng shelf) I read Lilah & Brady's story in May. Seeing this on your shelf reminded me I need to pick up the next in the series soon.
Shield of Winter -- (new relationship,new) I loved Vasic's story. I went in expecting something intense and dark and it did have it's moments, but the sweetness of the love growing between Vasic & Ivy was the perfect counterbalance to all the horror they have to deal with.
Red
Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews -- (energy and passion, mng shelf) One of my favorite series, I would definitely recommend continuing this series.
Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden -- (red cover,new) I haven't read this yet, but it sounds interesting and I thought it would fit into your shelves.
Purple
Secrets on the Sand by Roxanne St Clair -- (purple cover,mng shelf) Another author I haven't read, but I ended up adding this title to my shelves.
Magic at the Gate by Devon Monk -- (purple cover, new) A series I loved and you enjoyed the first four books, so go ahead and pick up book 5.
Black
Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey -- (secrets and a dark story,tbr) Another favorite series of mine. It's a chunkster at 687 pages, but you loved the first book a few years ago, so I would definitely recommend continuing the series at some point.
Kindling the Moon by Jenn Bennett -- (secret,new) One of my favorite finds of 2012 and a great start to an UF series.
Orange
Her Sky Cowboy by Beth Ciotta -- (adventure,mng) This has been on my tbr for a while too.
Scoundrel by Zoe Archer -- (adventure,new) It's been a few years since you read the first book in this series, but Bennet Day's story is definitely worth reading.
Yellow
A Study in Silks by Emma Jane Holloway -- (intelligent character,tbr) I picked this up browsing in the bookstore a while ago and hope to start this series soon.
Anyone But You by Jennifer Crusie -- (happy book,new) Such a fun book. It definitely made me happy to read it.
Pink
How to Date a Nerd by Cassie Mae -- (romance,mng) The cover caught my eye first, but it sounds like a good read.
