From your list I have chosen Mature Content (Cyberlove, #4) by Megan Erickson and Breakaway (Scoring Chances, #1) by Avon Gale purely at random.
Hmmm our reading tastes didn't do well on the compare books thingie. Of the three books, I would recommend Sleep with the Lights On (Brown and de Luca #1) by Maggie Shayne a romantic thriller.

Thanks SandyC!! I've heard a lot of good things about the bonus book so I put it on hold at the library - hopefully I'll get it before the end of the month!

Karma (Karma, #1) by Donna Augustine and Re Jane by Patricia Park

Thanks for the picks. I was really hoping for Karma, because it sounds so interesting (I probably would have read it anyway, even if it hadn't been picked, so you saved me a bit of trouble). As for the BtVS-verse book, I didn't realize they were rebooting it past the comics, so I'm excited for my copy to reach the library. ^_^


message 88: by VampAmber (new)

VampAmber | 622 comments Elizabeth wrote: "Elizabeth M.'s Bookshelf"

You had a lot of really interesting sounding books on your list, and I finally narrowed it down to Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (which I now need to read soon) and The Golden Days (The Story of the Stone #1) by Cao Xueqin (which is a bit hefty, but sounds really good). And for the bonus book, I saw you hadn't read Neverwhere (London Below, #1) by Neil Gaiman yet, and as it's one of my favorite books I suggest basically everybody ever read it. ^_^ Hope you enjoy it too.
