Thanks Michaele, They all looks great !!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Rebecca, here you go! We did not have a lot in common, but I tried to find some you might like - fingers crossed!

#25. ”I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
NEW: The Trouble with Twelfth Grave by Darynda Jones - I'm enjoying this series a lot!
TBR: The Chosen by J.R. Ward - Certainly not my favorite hero... But it moves the story forward in some very interesting ways.

#22. "Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me, aren’t you?”
NEW: The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley - Different and very sweet story.
TBR: Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson - Just reading the precis kind of creeped me out!

#21. ”Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?”
NEW: Be Mine Tonight by Kathryn Smith - I think you might like this series, kind of a mix of your preferred genres. I read them a while back and thought they were very good!
TBR: Wedding of the Season by Laura Lee Guhrke - Looks interesting, different time period.

#17. ”Life finds a way.”
NEW: Untamed by Elizabeth Lowell - Old, but even when I reread it - I still loved it!
TBR: Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh - Another favorite series! What a world she has built, very involved. It worked much better for me in audio though - easier for me to follow. But once I was hooked, I was hooked!

#15. ”I see you.”
NEW: Ecstasy Unveiled by Larissa Ione - Looks like you enjoyed the first few, but never finished - you know you want to!
TBR: Cerulean Sins by Laurell K. Hamilton - I think this is where you are at, if not just go with the next one for you!

#7. ”You're gonna need a bigger boat.”
NEW: The Duke by Gaelen Foley - I really enjoyed these books and they have a bit of mystery with the historical romance!
TBR: Kiss of Crimson by Lara Adrian - Or you could just reread the first one since it's been a while. I like this series a lot and am looking forward to the new one!

#5. ”I’m King of the world!”
NEW: Honor's Splendour by Julie Garwood - Such an amazing book!!
TBR: The Highlander's Touch by Karen Marie Moning - The next one (ok, maybe two or three) are my favorites! But this is a good one too and you've read the first two already!

#3. My heart wants to sing every song that it hears.”
NEW: In Bed with a Highlander by Maya Banks - Really good book, the brother's stories are even better though!
TBR: Holiday in Death by J.D. Robb - Great books to listen to and I just can't resist Roarke!

#2. ”May the Force be with you.”
NEW: Bunny and the Bear by Eve Langlais - Fun, almost over the top in the humor!
TBR: Ghouls Rush In by H.P. Mallory - Interesting premise!

#1. "Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
NEW: The Mane Event by Shelly Laurenston - Another really fun series! Even better in audio for me!
TBR: 1984 by George Orwell - Amazing story, maybe even scarier today than when I read it back before 1984 happened! I loved it, but it took me forever to finish - I could see where it was heading and even then I wanted my happy ending. I didn't get it, but still remember it being a very, very good book.

Happy Reading!

Hi Carrie

I think there has been a slight mixup, you will find the pairings in message 5 of the thread and I think you should be picking for Carina this month as Bataya has already picked for me this month :).

[Carrie]

Oi,....I looked at the sign ups and I didn't read the pairings blurb. I'm so use to being pick for the person below....when did this change to above?

[Carrie]

Sorry Carina for you wait, I might not get your picks up until Monday sorry.

Hi True.magic,
Thank you for a great list! It looks so good, I just want to jump in now - but I will wait patiently until June begins - lol! I have already read the first one on the list (the Charles Finch one), but since this challenge lets us go to whichever one in the series we are on, I will just read the second one, especially since I have been wanting to get to it anyway. Plus, there are a lot more on this list that I really want to read, so no need for any extra picks for me.

I hope you have a great 'reading month' also!

The host shook things up this month, trying to keep us on our toes. Almost got me! You were looking at the participant list, not the pairings list, so the message wasn't in that post. Common mistake, sorry for the extra work though!
