Thanks, the choices for Oldest & Newest are great and I look forward to starting them soon.

Unfortunately I don't own the BONUS choice & have no way of getting it (loan or buy) right now. Is there any chance I could ask you to choose a different BONUS book? All the books I listed are owned & I'd love to read another off my TBR lol! Much appreciated!!

Bonus: Big Rock (Big Rock, #1) by Lauren Blakely"



Danielle  Gypsy Soul (afdaniellet) | 1919 comments Lexi

I don't know any of your books so I just went by covers I liked.

I pick Kingfisher by Patricia A. McKillip Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson

For your bonus I noticed this book was on your TBR. I wasn't crazy about the first few books in the series but it is SO WORTH hanging in there because it gets so much better so I pick:
A Local Habitation (October Daye, #2) by Seanan McGuire

I finished The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd today. Didn't care for it as much as I thought I might have. At least the ending was stronger than the first part of the book.
