Hi Gabriella! I found some great books on your Tbr and did a little digging for new ones, so I hope you find something you like in these picks. Let me know if want more or any repicks, as I'm happy to do that 😊

The oldest known pet cat existed 9,500 years ago
[TBR] Been on tbr a while and is one of my favourites that I read so long ago, it's a lot of fun.

Cats spend 70% of their lives sleeping
[NEW] its got a dark cover! It's stunning and on my tbr. I thought it fit a lot of what mentioned you like on profile. It's got fantasy, mystery, sci fi and lgbt so what's not to love.

A cat was the Mayor of an Alaskan town for 20 years
[NEW] Small town romance with a mystery.

The record for the longest cat ever is 48.5 inches
[NEW] its a pretty long book at 400pgs, the cover is beautiful and its got paranormal with romance.

The richest cat in the world had £7 million
[TBR] Set In England. 've never read the book, but remember enjoying the film and its a classic so it must be great.

Cats walk like camels and giraffes
[NEW] There's a cat on the cover, this is a contemporary humorous romance which I though you might like and that I really enjoyed.

Isaac Newton invented the cat door
[TBR] All I know of these two is from trailers and bits I've seen of the show, but its all rather intense and shocking. I think both are rather smart in their fields of work and involves some traveling.

In 1963 a cat went to space
[TBR] Ive only seen the film, it's a really passionate and beautiful story in a strange wat but I enjoyed it. I hope the book is as good as usually they are better.

[Fran, Moderator]

Nayara, these are great, thank you! I appreciate you adding comments on the new ones - that helps a lot! I've already placed a hold for a couple of your recommendations and hope I can get to them in June! I'm reading really slowly these days....
Anyway thank you again!

[Sonja]

Hi Chaos I'm working on your picks and hope to have them today or tonight!

[Sonja]

Hey Chaos! Think I found a few you'll enjoy here. I tired to stick to genres I saw you read a lot of when making my new recommendations. Happy Reading!

1. Oldest Cat
TBR:Cheat Codes - Been on your list for about a year!
NEW: Idol - I read this one a while ago and loved it. I've got book 3 of the series on my PIFM for June. Lots of great rock music references here and I enjoy this writer's style.


2.Sleeping
TBR: All I Want Is A Kiss- Stars on cover!
NEW: The Last Werewolf - Star and moon and a dark cover. I'm never sure about recommending this one. I loved it, but it's technically more horror than romance. Some people love the writer's style, some hate it. I think he's brilliant. Anyway, I won't be overly offended if you decide not to read this one.


3.Unusual Cat
TBR: Full Tilt - Unusual title and I've been wanting to read this one!
NEW: The Wall of Winnipeg and Me - unusual title to me, but I thought it was good. Serious slow burn tho...


4.Longest Cat
TBR: Chain of Gold - 624 pages! WOW!
NEW: Alex - 11 books in the series is long for me. LOL! Also I enjoyed this one, though they spent a good portion of the book getting busy...


5. Richest Cat The richest cat in the world had £7 million
TBR: My Brother's Billionaire Best Friend - obviously a wealthy character!
NEW: Shacking Up - Wealthy character. This one was as funny as it was good. I enjoyed the characters and there's even an illegal pet ferrit! Hilarity naturally ensues...


6.Animal Cat
TBR: Touch Of Regret - Paranormal
TBR: The Red Scrolls of Magic - Paranormal


7. Smart Cat
TBR: At the Heart of It - nerdy character - and sounds good!
NEW: Tinderbox - Characters travel to Africa. Loved this book!


8. Out of this World
TBR: His Hostage - June (6) 23, 2016 pub date
NEW: The Perfect Play - 336 pages

[Nancy H]

Richest cat: Another of my favorite series with a rich MC - Flirting With Danger and one set in England from your list - Just Like Heaven


Cats, camels, giraffes: From your list, swan on cover - Daughter of the Forest and one I really liked, dog on cover - Just One of the Guys


Isaac Newton, cat door: Two I really enjoyed- smart MC - Cinder and MC travels - A Summer at Sea

Thanks for all the picks, Zara - there are a couple of new ones I might be interested in. I'm not much for horror but the YA/fantasy ones I might give a try.

Just a friendly reminder everyone!

✱ Please remember this is primarily a romance readers group. Thus, most, if not all, of your picks should be romance. There are various sub genres within the romance category - Contemporary, Historical, Paranormal, Romantic Suspense, Erotica, M/M, Urban Fantasy. If your pickee reads a wide variety, you could add a non-romance as a choice.
