No worries! All the best with the craziness of construction :)

[Sonja]

YAAY!!! MountainKat, you and I would get along great! I'm considered by my family and friends to be the Disney geek of the group. 😁

Mary-Megan, I pick for you, but it may not happen until Monday as we currently have no computer at home and it's a massive pain on my Kindle... hang in there!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Rachel C.

I hope you enjoy your picks. I tried to give some good variety.

I'm Wishing: Breathe by Kristen Ashley has the local librarian wishing the newly widowed Chace will fall in love with her. Or check out lots of wishes with The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey. It is an interesting take on how fairy tales happen.



One Song: Check out Ready Player One by Ernest Cline before the movie comes out next month. Or a great college romance in The Deal where the hockey star makes a deal to help his grades - the characters are awesome!



With a Smile and a Song: Dragons are animals, so there is Rise of the Dragons by Morgan Rice. Or check out Finding Mr. Right by Emily Carmichael where a "bad" girl comes back in the body of a Corgi to help her "friend" find romance.



Whistle While You Work: Gin is an assassin by night and a BBQ owner by day in Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep. Lucy's family has a "gift" for matchmaking and turned it into a business, but her's got changed into a "gift" for finding things and she ends up helping the PI in the same building. Lots of kooky characters in Truly, Madly by Heather Webber.



Heigh-Ho: Roake is about as wealthy as they get, so check out his and Eve's latest in Calculated in Death by J.D. Robb. Or the future where corporations took over for gov't and the Chairman's heir is trying to solve who killed him with the help of his betrothed in Replica while keeping his secrets.



The Washing Song: Kate always manages to get dirty at some point during her adventures in Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews. Slouch Witch by Helen Harper has a lazy, expelled witch being accidently tied to an ambitious investigator.



The Silly Song: Shannon Stacey always delivers some lighthearted, family romance in Yours to Keep. Or check out To Woo A Warrior by Jane Cousins, where the warrior is the female with self esteem issues about romance but can kick a$$.



Someday My Prince Will Come: Cinder by Marissa Meyer is definitely a fairy tale retelling, but as the start of the series, you need to read it all for the HEA. Kristine Grayson has a whole series of fairy tale retellings in current time and it starts with Utterly Charming.

Between Disney and football, we do have a lot in common!

[Nancy H]

Hi Sonja,
I will get your picks done as soon as possible, but am right in the middle of throwing a surprise birthday party for my cousin tomorrow, so it will probably be either late tomorrow night or Monday morning before I can get them done.

Thank you in advance for your patience! (And I notice that you are into scrapbooking - so am I, and you will know what it is like to do what I just did: I just got finished scanning, cropping, and mounting photos (about 300) for 4 poster boards for my cousin's party for tomorrow! What a lot of work!)

Oh totally no problem, Nancy! And I completely get how much work goes into throwing a party, esp if you're a crafter. Kudos to you! Have fun and hope all goes well tomorrow!
Ugh, those days are coming soon for me.. kids birthdays are in June and July so parties to plan soon. Take your time, I'm still trying to finish my February books!

Yup, most definitely! Now tell me you're a crafter too and it'll be all over for me! Lol!

Rebecca wrote: "Hi Chiara,

Hey Rebecca! I’m having some issues at the moment with my shelves (most of them are currently showing “0” in the books count!).
It seems many Goodreads users are having the same problem and I hope it will be fixed soon...
However if you click on the shelf you should be able to see the books anyways..even if I’m not 100% sure you can see all the books in the shelf..it seems some have disappeared. Let me know in case you have any problem!
