Jonathan you didn't have a specific shelf so I perused your TBR and chose some that looked fun.

The Lost Ticket by Freya Sampson Selected because of the color and the premise!
Pony Confidential by Christina Lynch Because this one sounds so good!

Bonus: My favorite romance author is Nora Roberts and this is one of my favorite books by her: Identity by Nora Roberts

Nope, those are perfect! I'm going to try to read all 3 books over this month and next.

Here are my picks for you!

Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games, #0.5) by Suzanne Collins - I know this comes out mid-March so I'm not sure if you'll get to read it in time, but I couldn't resist choosing it.

Onyx Storm (The Empyrean, #3) by Rebecca Yarros Because it's all the rage and you're probably chomping at the bit to get to it.

What's Next A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service by Melissa Fitzgerald Because The West Wing is awesome!

The Bread the Devil Knead by Lisa Allen-Agostini It's red like Valentine's Day, plus it's one I'm very interested in reading.

"E" Is for Evidence (Kinsey Millhone, #5) by Sue Grafton Because I adore Kinsey!

Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear (Wayward Children, #10) by Seanan McGuire I've heard such good things about this series and if you're on book 10, I assume you must really enjoy it.

I finished two of my 3 picks!

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan , which I absolutely loved! Ilistened to the audio and it was so well done. I will read it again in print so I can highlight every passage that spoke to me.

The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern by Lynda Cohen Loigman , which I was meh about. I don't know if it was me or the book, but it didn't work for me. The characters were so immature!
