I'm afraid we don't seem to have similar tastes in romance books so I tried to suggest books based on Goodreads suggestions from books you gave 5 stars and used your tbr list. I only suggested two books that I've actually read. I hope you find something good to read though! Good Luck and Happy Reading :)

-Rachel

P.S. Sorry I never figured out how to get the picture of a book in these messages so you only have the name and link to click on.

If you had done it with 4 from Beth's TBR and 4 new books, you had done it right. You don't have to pick more than 8 books for the pickee if you don't want to. Most people do 16 (8 each), but doing only 8 is absolutely right.

If you gave her 8 tbr books, you would need to change that to 4 new titles and 4 tbr titles. Only 8 books are required, but they do need to be at least 4 new and 4 tbr (or preferred shelf) titles.
It looks like you have updated your list for Beth :)

Thank you Frye.Katz! I learned something new also, it only has to be 4 on my list and 4 new. That is not how I understand it from a year+ when I participated. I have always liked this challenge because of the new books people recommend.

MountainKat | 31599 comments Hi Jess, here are your picks! I gave you one new and one from your TBR for each picking rule so hopefully you will find something great for April! 🤞🏼

1. PEEPS DELIGHTS
NEW: First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones - White cover and lots of fun! Well, as much fun as the grim reaper can have... 😉
TBR: Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor - So many tags!!

2. COTTON CANDY PEEPS
NEW: A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James - Blue cover and a sweet Cinderella story!
TBR: Tools of Engagement by Tessa Bailey - Pink cover.

3. SOUR WATERMELON PEEPS

4. BUBBLE GUM PEEPS
NEW: Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath - Oh boy does the hero do something he shouldn't! One of my favorite western historicals - recently reread the whole series!
TBR: Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews - Starts with B and really like the authors!

5. PARTY CAKE PEEPS
NEW: Kiss of the Highlander by Karen Marie Moning - I noticed Darkfever on your TBR, I would suggest you start with the author's Highlander series as they are linked. Trust me, you can start here, and this is coming from someone a little (lot) OCD about reading series in order - I did and then went back to the first three at the end. Or you could just start at the beginning with Beyond the Highland Mist.
TBR: Layla by Colleen Hoover - 1 and 0 in the page count.

6. RED VELVET PEEPS
NEW: Surrender by Pamela Clare - Definitely a sweet treat on the cover and also in the story! Seriously one of my favorite books/series of all time!
TBR: House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas - Lots of red!

7. PANCAKE AND SYRUP PEEPS
NEW: The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune - This is seriously one of the sweetest books I have read in the longest time - there was not one thing in this book that didn't make me happy!!
TBR: The Pilot & the Puck-Up by Pippa Grant - Starts with P.

8. SWEET LEMONADE PEEPS
NEW: Honor's Splendour by Julie Garwood - Part of the book takes place in summer and so good!
TBR: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert - Yellow!

Happy Reading!!

Nancy H | 1111 comments LaurLa,
Thank you for wonderful categories this month! How clever and inventive with all the Peeps - which I simply LOVE! I live in Pennsylvania, the state they are made in, and I have tried all of these but the Lemonade Peeps -- I would LOVE to have some of them but they are not in our stores! Plus, the Peeps factory was backed down for a while because of Covid so we were warned that we might not get as many Peeps as possible this year, especially for the non-Easter holidays. There are still some in our stores, though, and I have been guilty of buying them!

Sorry for the confusion - I'm glad you all got it figured out.

It's important to note that the challenges has always been to recommend 4 from the preferred (or TBR) shelf and 4 new to the pickee.... but there are a lot of people who choose to make a new and TBR recommendation for each category. Please don't feel bad if you made a total of 8 recs, 4 new and 4 tbr.... you doing it just right!

These special Peeps come in a variety of flavors including vanilla, orange sherbet, strawberry, coconut, and sugar cookie. They’re partially dipped in dark, milk, or white chocolate. Some also include fillings, like chocolate caramel swirl.
Recommend a book:
🐣 where someone eats chocolate or receives chocolate as a gift
🐣 with a mostly brown, white or black cover
🐣 that has a variety of genre tags (at least three, such as romance, mystery and fantasy)


TBR - Abel Abel (Sabine Valley #1) by Katee Robert (Black Cover)

NEW - Talk Me Down Talk Me Down (Tumble Creek, #1) by Victoria Dahl or Kingdom Of Dreams A Kingdom of Dreams (Westmoreland, #1) by Judith McNaught (White Cover)


2. COTTON CANDY PEEPS

A relatively new flavor on the Peeps scene is the ambitious cotton candy. Perfect for carnival lovers with a sweet tooth, these light pink Peeps come with little flecks of blue sugar.
Recommend a book:
🐣 with a mostly pink or blue cover
🐣 that is new author to your pickee
🐣 with an alliterative title or author name (like cotton candy)

TBR - Ice Planet Barbarians Ice Planet Barbarians (Ice Planet Barbarians, #1) by Ruby Dixon

Bonus: King of Frost (Fae of Darkness, #2) by Ana Calin



3. SOUR WATERMELON PEEPS

This is an extra cute Peep. It’s sugary green on the outside, with a bright, bubblegum pink center -- a fun attempt at imitating an actual watermelon. It smells just like a watermelon Jolly Rancher or the watermelon-flavored Sour Patch Kids. If you love watermelon-flavored candies, this might be your jam.
Recommend a book:
🐣 with water on the cover
🐣 with a mostly green cover
🐣 with a character who imitates another character in some way

TBR Rebel Spring Rebel Spring (Falling Kingdoms, #2) by Morgan Rhodes (Green Cover)

NEW A Place Beyond Courage (William Marshal, #1) by Elizabeth Chadwick (Green Cover) or On a Cold Dark Sea by Elizabeth Blackwell (Water on Cover)

4. BUBBLE GUM PEEPS

If you hate that you can’t (or at least, shouldn’t) swallow bubble gum, then maybe these Peeps are for you.
Recommend a book:
🐣 that has bubbles or something round on the cover or bubbles mentioned in the story
🐣 that starts with the letter B
🐣 where someone does something they shouldn't


TBR -Because You Love To Hate Me Because You Love to Hate Me 13 Tales of Villainy by Amerie (letter B)

NEW -Beauty And The Beast Beauty and the Beast by Georgia Le Carre or Bitten Bitten (Otherworld, #1) by Kelley Armstrong (Letter with B)

5. PARTY CAKE PEEPS

Got a party coming up? Pick up a 10-pack of these festive Peeps. They even come with colorful sprinkles for added fun.
Recommend a book:
🐣 with a 1 and 0 in the page count
🐣 with a colorful cover (at least 3 colors)
🐣 where a festive event or celebration takes place

TBR - Sacrifice Sacrifice (Bloodline Vampires #1) by Katee Robert ( With a 1 or 0 in page count)

NEW - Naughty Boss Naughty Boss (Steamy Coffee Collection, #1) by Whitney G. or Falling for Irish (MacArthur Family, #1) by Katie Reus (With 1 or 0 in page count)

6. RED VELVET PEEPS

Red velvet isn’t just for cupcakes and waffles. The decadent flavor was part of a Christmas-themed series, which also included hot cocoa, candy cane, and sugar cookie.
Recommend a book:
🐣 tagged Christmas, holiday or (duh) Easter
🐣 with a mostly red cover
🐣 with a sweet treat (your interpretation) on the cover

TBR- RoseBlood by A.G. Howard (Red Cover)

NEW - Empress Orchid Empress Orchid (Empress Orchid, #1) by Anchee Min (Red Cover) or Fall For You Fall For You (Madison Falls, #1) by Susan Behon (Sweet Treat - Bakery)



7. PANCAKES AND SYRUP PEEPS

These Pancakes & Syrup Peeps are a perfect excuse to eat sweets for breakfast.
Recommend a book:
🐣 where characters eat breakfast in the story
🐣 that you consider to be (syrupy) sweet
🐣 with a title that starts with P or S


TBR -Summer At Willow Lake Summer at Willow Lake (Lakeshore Chronicles, #1) by Susan Wiggs

NEW - Summer At Mount Hope Summer at Mount Hope by Rosalie Ham or Splintered Splintered (Splintered, #1) by A.G. Howard (Title beginning with S)

8. SWEET LEMONADE PEEPS

Another limited-time flavor we're hoping will return, Peeps released these summery lemonade-flavored marshmallows in 2013. Part of the proceeds for each package sold went to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.
Recommend a book:
🐣 with a mostly yellow cover
🐣 takes place in summer time
🐣 where a character is sick or hospitalized

TBR - McKinnons Bride McKinnon's Bride by Sharon Harlow (Yellow Cover)

NEW - The Highwayman The Highwayman (Victorian Rebels, #1) by Kerrigan Byrne or Miss Mechanic Miss Mechanic by Emma Hart (Yellow Cover)

If you need any repicks just let me know. Happy reading :).

Thank you very much Romanticbookworm, for your picks.
I found On a Cold Dark Sea & Fae's Captive on KU. I borrowed them to read in April. Also I will read a couple from the books you picked from my TBR.


message 80: by Romanticbookworm (new)

Romanticbookworm | 410 comments No problem Avigail If you like Fae's captive by lily archer. There is also King of Frost (Fae of Darkness, #2) by Ana Calin which is another good fae series available on KU. I was going to put it in on I thought it best to put in the Paris book for some variety but I will stick it in as a bonus pick. Happy reading 😁.

I understand that eight is apparently the minimum number that can be suggested ( 4 from TBR and 4 new) and I believe rules say you only need to read one, so why must Rebecca size down if you can choose which ones you want to read of the 16 she selected?

I apologize if this is a rude question but she has given you options and probably spent some time going over your shelves and reading history to find selections you might like to read.

For years I have always thought 16 was the correct number (2 per task 1 TBR, 1 NEW). I certainly would not appreciate spending more than an hour (sometimes several if they have many books) trying to make selections for someone not interested.

Perhaps that should be part of the sign up procedure for the challenge. State if you want 8 or 16 choices. I personally look at everyone’s lists because I always find new and interesting books I might never have considered otherwise.

I am happy that most people in this group post relatively fast, at least they have in the past. (My first month back). I have another group that consistently waits till the next to last day of the month to assign partners! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤯🤷🏻‍♀️ Everyone then scrambles and even by the first of the month you might not have picks!

Thank you to all the mods, challenge organizers and participants, this group definitely has organized and dedicated readers!

Rebecca (bexsi) | 812 comments Prinzessbtrfly,
I have been participating in this Pick It For Me challenge on and off for years and have always chose 2 per task 1 TBR and 1 NEW. It is up to you to pick the ones you want to read. When I first saw your post asking me to remove 8 from the 16 books chosen for you I was shocked (I see you have removed this post). I spent a long time looking at your books and making sure you had not read the NEW books I had chosen.

You don't actually need to read the 16 books you can just read one and that's fine.
