It looks like you are picking for Fran. She has a privet profile, so go to her profile and click "add friend".
Then read carefully message 1 and message 2 of this discussion. After Fran accepts your invitation, go to her chosen shelf: "a-pifm-shelf" and using picking rules in the message 4 pick at least 4 books from her preferred shelf and at least 4 that you think she may like. If you still have question, here are PIFM Guidelines and FAQ

[book:Shacking Up|3383819..."Hazel! Thank you SO much for these great picks!! I haven't reviewed yet, but already spot a few I'm definitely gonna look for! :)
Hi MountainKat! Here are your picks! Stayed home - “I didn’t do anything this summer, just stayed at home and played with my friend and read books and played video games.”
TBR: Hail Mary– Single person on cover and sounds fun (and that cover cracks me up!) Adding to my TBR now..
TBR: Most Irresistible Guy – friends in it and single guy on cover
TBR: Gentleman Nine – best friends and single person on cover (and now on my TBR too! Argh!)
Summer School - “I got stuck going to school this summer because I failed History. The classroom was so hot and I didn’t get to sleep in ever.”
TBR: Wicked and the Wallflower – Historical and I’m so jealous you get to read this one already! I’m still on hold!
TBR: Getting Schooled – Obviously features school/teacher and children in the story
NEW: The Warlord's Wife – historical and has a child in the book. And an EPIC series!
Went to Grandma’s - “I was shipped off to Grandma’s house so that my parents could have some ‘alone time.’ We made cookies every day.”
TBR: Claimed in Shadows – mostly b/w cover and, do vampires count as ‘working with food?” :D
NEW: Flirting with Felicity – character who works with food and includes a parent – a fun, lighthearted HEA
Camping - “I went camping. The ground was hard, there were no bathrooms, but we had s’mores and told ghost stories by the fire.”
TBR: Archer's Voice – You MUST read this one!!!
TBR: The Curse of Tenth Grave – paranormal and yellow cover
A trip to Europe - “I went to Europe and saw the Queen, the Eiffel Tower, and went for a gondola ride in Venice.”
TBR: Come As You Are – wealthy character (all I’m hearing is Nirvana’s song in my head…)
TBR: Hitched: Volume One – Purple on cover and potentially wealthy character
Theme parks - “I went to Disney and Universal and Seaworld. There were so many rides!”
TBR: Mastering Her Senses – Couple embracing
NEW: What a Difference a Duke Makes – couple embracing, though this satisfies all three of the Summer School category, I couldn’t very well give you FOUR in that one! A parody of Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. I finished this in 12 hours. I dare you to beat that!
A cruise - “I went on a cruise and didn’t get seasick. I read by the beach and went snorkeling. I even pet a stingray and got a serious sunburn.”
TBR: Rainy Day Friends – beachy cover with lots of water, sun and blue! And sounds good!
NEW: The One In My Heart – beachy photo, lots of blue and a good read!
Road trip - “I went on a road trip. There was so much driving in the car my butt went numb, but we saw the world’s largest ball of twine, so that was cool.”
NEW: Idol – travel (okay that’s a stretch, but I had to get this series in here somewhere!)
NEW: Fly With Me – HA satisfies all four! BOOM! Really a great series, much more intense than I expected!
Hope you find something you enjoy and LMK if you need repacks!

..."Thank you for the picks, I've add a nice few to my July Tbr.
Okay Fran, Let's see if I got this right..
^Those came from your PIFM shelf... Here's 4 "new" ones..
BTW.. You've read ALOT of books! This was quite a challenge!
The Masters and Mercenaries series of FABULOUS! I'm on #7 in the series currently, but there's plenty more, and it's very suspenseful and full of brilliant things!
Doms of her Life series is also brilliant!
I hope I did this right,,?!
