Hi Laura, I was just working on updating my list from last month and then came here to check out October. Thanks for the picks - I see several options! I'm sorry my shelf didn't have many to choose from, I didn't get all my new M&G books added. I did get the important ones though! 😂

Thank you, but no repicks are needed. There are plenty of options and I can use the series rule as well - one of the pluses of reading series! 😊

I feel like I am always forgetting something! So I try to get things done when I remember as well. That is why the important books were added, because they were on the list whether they got picked or not.😉

Yeah im the same i always worry i have forgot something or missed a notification. So im the same, thats good xx

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Nancy H! Here are your picks for October - I hope you find something to love!

🎃 Pumpkin Carving 🎃
TBR: A Taste of Romance by Roni Denholtz - Looks interesting!
NEW: Repeat by Kylie Scott - This one worked for me, but her Stage Dive series is probably more well known and I liked those as well. Feel free to switch if that intrigues you more - Lick.

🎃 Candy 🎃
TBR: The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler - Looks cute!
NEW: Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath - An oldie, but I just did a reread of this series and it completely lived up to my memories!!

🎃 Pranks 🎃
TBR: Well Hung by Lauren Blakely - You have this one on your shelf, but the series starts with Big Rock if you would rather.
NEW: Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis - Probably my favorite of the sister's books, though I loved them all!

🎃 Costumes 🎃
TBR: Butterface by Avery Flynn - Both the name and cover intrigued me!
NEW: Cuffed by K. Bromberg - Really good trilogy about brothers, all in public service!

🎃 Horror Movies 🎃
TBR: Memory in Death by J.D. Robb - I think this one is next, if not just adjust!
NEW: Fatal Affair by Marie Force - Similar to the In Death series in that it follows one man couple and the heroine is a cop, but also very, very different! I'm enjoying them.

🎃 Bonfires 🎃
TBR: The Bacon Burger Murder by Rosie A. Point - Just sounds yummy - or maybe I'm hungry!
NEW: Dance Away with Me by Susan Elizabeth Phillips - Just a happy, feel good story!

🎃 Themed Parties 🎃
TBR: The Roommate by Rosie Danan - Seems to fit here!
NEW: Cake by J. Bengtsson - I've really been enjoying this series!

🎃 Spooky Bats and Black Cats 🎃
TBR: A Gentlewoman's Guide to Murder by Victoria Hamilton - I couldn't resist the title!
NEW: The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah MacLean - This is the first in series that fit, but all of her books are good!

Happy Reading!

[Aiswrya]

Hi Tonya! So many great books on your TBR! Hope you find something you like in here. I tried to pick a variety of tropes, but let me know if you'd like repicks :)

1. 🎃 Pumpkin Carving🎃 :
TBR - With the Fire on High - sounds like a great book!
New - The Opposite of You - I've had this book on my TBR for a while now. If you do get to it, let me know what you think!


2. 🎃 Candy🎃 :
TBR - Bringing Down the Duke - So many people have recommended this book to me, I really should read it! It has some great reviews!
New - From Lukov with Love - I didn't see any Mariana Zapata books on your read shelf. She's one of my favorite authors. She writes beautiful, slow-burn romances. Hope you like this one!


3. 🎃 Pranks🎃 :
TBR - Waiting for Tom Hanks - sounds hilarious! Added it to my TBR :)
New - What Happens in London - I laughed my head off while reading this book. Hope you like it too!


4. 🎃 Costumes🎃 :
TBR - Enchantée - sounds like a good one!
New - When Beauty Tamed the Beast - one of my favorite beauty and the beast retellings!


5. 🎃 Horror Movies🎃 :
TBR - Hideaway - I should read this book!
New - Northern Lights Since no-one writes romantic mysteries better than Nora Roberts! Really enjoyed this one :)


6. 🎃 Bonfires🎃 :
TBR - Dark Lover - I'm not into vampire books anymore, but when I first read this, I really liked it!
New - Angels' Blood - Since you like paranormal books, you absolutely have to read this author! Her psy-changeling series is awesome too!


7. 🎃 Themed parties🎃 :
TBR - When the Stars Lead to You - added this one too!
New - Dear Ava - an angst-filled YA romance :)


8. 🎃 Spooky Bats and Black Cats🎃 :
TBR - Midnight Sun - when you are a fan of vampire romances, can't go wrong with twilight ;-) I'm on a mile-long waitlist at my library for this book!
New - Wolfsong - TJ Klune is a fantastic story-teller! I absolutely loved this book! Heads up, this is a MM-Romance. This was the first MM romance book I read and it hooked me to the sub-genre! It's very mellow, if you haven't read any other mm books before :)


Happy reading!

1. 🎃 Pumpkin Carving 🎃
