NEW I See London, I See France (set in Europe) I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

3. Armenia
TBR Sweatpants Season (6 in pub date) Nothing like a little eye candy to keep you warm! LOL
TBR/NEW The Guy on the Right (nerdy/geeky character) I loved this whole series, but this one I had a soft spot for as the hero is such a misunderstood sweetheart! I did like all three in this series though.

NEW Wicked Intentions (Historical) Can’t remember if I’ve recommended this one to you before, but I totally enjoyed this whole series. There are a couple that aren’t my favorite, but the writing is consistent, the characters engaging and plenty of times I giggled at the interactions!

TBR Batter Up (food!) Sounds fun, adding to my TBR!
NEW Good Girl Complex (book I loved) This one was so much better than it’s description!


7. Holland
TBR The Boss Project (pub in 2022)

8. U.S.A.
TBR The Inn on Harmony Island (USA/Children) *sigh* On my TBR now too! LOL!

Hi LaurLa! WOO! Super excited for these and already put a few on my Kindle and hold shelf! THANK YOU!
Just an FYI, I've actually already read The Scandalous, Dissolute, No-Good Mr. Wright. Took me a second to realize i had since, for some reason, I didn't review it! Might have read it before I really got active on Goodreads... there really aren't many by Tessa Dare that I haven't read! No need to repick if you don't have time. I have plenty to read and know I won't get to them all. Thank you for the awesome picks as always!

Thanks Pryanka. I love them!
I will stock my closet with tissues for the Nicholas Sparks' one: he is a great author and I usually fear the amount of tears he will make me shed, but since you loved it, I will procrastinate no longer! :)

Way to go everyone! We are only missing a few picks....a little over 5 hours until the deadline.

I may need one or two helpers to give re-picks tonight. If anyone would like to help, please post here in this thread. You would need to be able to give the re-picks shortly after the deadline closes so there is not too much longer to wait for those that haven't received picks yet. Thank you!

[Iddy]

1. The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas

2. Credence by Penelope Douglas

3. The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Thank you Catherine! I’m excited to get started :)

[☘KathyD☘]

thanks Fran! these are great!

[Fran, Moderator]

It’s almost time to start reading!!

Just a few things that might help when deciding which book to read from your recommendations-

- If a book that is chosen for you is part of a series, you may read any book in that series for it to count for this challenge. For example, you may want to start at #1 but were given #3 in the series, or you might just like the sound of a different title in the series, or there may be another book or novella in the series that also fits another challenge.

- You only need to read one of your picks for this challenge, but of course you may read as many as you want.

- If you were given a title you have already read, you can read another book in the series (if it’s part of a series) in its place.

Happy Reading!
