I'm in! When I was younger I would have definitely been a 2, but the older I get the less appealing travel is and the more I like being home, so please put me in the #3 group.

Please use my cant-wait-to-read shelf. Thanks!

[Dee]

[Carla]

MountainKat—I hope that you find something that you like. Happy reading.

Africa – From your TBR, Shifter: Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh. I liked the first in this popular series.

Antarctica – Set in Antarctica: Where’d you go, Bernadette? By Maria Semple. This book has mostly crazy, somewhat unlikeable characters, but it’s great satire and ultimately satisfying.. Since this isn’t a romance, an alternative—Shock & Awe by Abigail Roux, no people on the cover.

Asia – The Best Man by Kristan Higgins is a sweet book at 426 pp that read quickly.

Commonwealth of Australia –Rich-I liked Duchess by Night by Eloisa James

Europe –Historical romance in England- Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn

North America – From your TBR, Come Away With Me by Kristen Proby, set in Seattle, WA

South America –From your TBR, sports: Steamroller by Mary Calmes

Ocean –From your TBR, From this Moment On by Bella Andre, water on the cover.

Hi Zara. H means hero and h means heroine.

Thanks. I thought it may have been something simple.

[Sassafrass]

Nancy H This was a hard one to pick! I hoe you find something that you like!

Africa: (TBR) or (rec) Both of these are great shifter books. The first is very funny and the second is a bit more serious.

Antarctica: (rec) This is the only book I know of that has a setting at least in part in Antarctica. It was very kooky.
(TBR)--I really liked this title.

Asia: (361 pages) (TBR) or (TBR) (352 pages)

Commonwealth of Australia: (TBR)--I hear this one is great and it's set in Australia! or (TBR)--this one has water on the cover

Europe: (rec), set in Europe AND is historical romance
(set in Europe)


NorthAmerica: or --Both are HOT so be prepared!


South America: (sports TBR) or (sports rec)--what about that cover, huh?


Ocean: (TBR) or (rec)


Let me know if you need repicks. Enjoy!

Wicked Games (NEW)- free on Amazon. Group isolated on island. Survivor style romance, I really liked it.

Commonwealth of Australia-
If I Were You (TBR)- rich art dealers. I loved this sexy mystery book.
Enemies on Tap (NEW)- Wealthy Hero, group buddy read for September!
