Level 3 + Bonus (you choose the bonus book by YOUR favorite romance author)Link to Shelf - https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Level 2 Shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...I'm afraid most of my books fit Halloween better than Valentine or St Patrick, but I found a few red, gold or green covers and a couple of romance novels. The only one I found with candy on the cover is about break ups. Oh, and Stephen King - his initials are in Shamrock! One book is about cats and I love cats so I thought it might be ok to list.......

I think we have a similar TBR Shelf.

There isn't an set rule that the books have to be traditional fits for the theme! You can use any reason you want - even if is is that you want to read something out of the norm while you listen to Irish music or love songs...or wrapped up in a blanket with hearts or shamrocks or leprechauns!!! Lol
I'm in for level 6 and a bonus please. I'm going to get all these books read this time! Just my usual TBR shelf please.https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Jonathan - you need to add a shelf to your signup post so that your partner can pick for you.
Mod
Your partner's shelf is linked on their name and the number of books to choose for them in in parenthesis after their level.
If your partner chose to have a bonus - Choose a book by YOUR favorite romance author for your partner!
Have fun!!
For Kathy, I pick for you
and
. Happy Reading!
From one Jenny to a(Jammin)nother---I tried to give you a bunch of different genres. Hope you enjoy!
Hi Jackie,I'm picking
and for the bonus book
Hi Christene,Thanks for my picks.
Here are my picks for you:
Hope you enjoy!
Mod
Teresa - your profile is private; so we can't see your shelf. Can you please friend your partner OR make your profile public until your partner chooses books for you?
..."
Oops, I forgot all about that. Thanks, Angie! I'll Make my profile public.
Mod
I chose these 3, plus the bonus:
for a non-fiction read
because the cover is sweet and the story sounds really fun
to help you further along into that seriesBonus:
Nora Roberts is one of my favorite romance authors. I don't see a lot of romance on your shelves, but I do see a lot of mystery so I'm hoping that you will enjoy one of her stand-alone romantic suspense novels. I recall rating it pretty low when I read it almost 10 years ago, but I don't recall what bugged me so much at the time so I plan to re-read it with a fresh perspective because a lot of people loved it so maybe it was my mood.
Angie..I got skipped. I'm up there in msg. 11.
Michelle, me too! I'll pick for you if you'll do mine. Oops - someone picked for me but I'll get yours now.

Danielle, sorry for my crazy long list! Here are some good ones for you. I tried to find a nice arrangement of genres. 
You didn't ask for a bonus and given what you're reading this month, I didn't want to send you to my hot hockey boy world but I felt like you might want to pick up the Dark Protectors series again. I absolutely love this series so I'll add the next one on here for you to think about. :)
Lisa - I selected 3 of your books that I have read and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Lisa wrote: "For Kathy, I pick for you and . Happy Reading!" Thanks so much! They will be next up on my to read and listen!

Hope you enjoy :)

Anxious to start my February planning but I'm at their mercy.
Mod
Yesterday was the "pick by" date, so volunteers can now choose for anyone that hasn't had books chosen for them.
If anyone would like to volunteer - Please check post #2 for the links and the number of books to choose. (The emoji's mean picks were made for the person) - Teresa and Jenny are emoji-less and are awaiting books.
I have some things I have to get done, but when I get back, I will pick for anyone that hasn't yet gotten their books chosen.
Teresa, I am picking for you.The first two I read and loved, the third has a great title...
Hope you enjoy!
Mod
Do you want me to choose something else?
