Working on the list right now...should be up in a few! :)

[Penney]

Hi Raine! Just took a quick peek at your shelves and already have a mental list of picks. I'll work on it and have them up tomorrow morning :-)

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Emelie

We tend to read very different types of books, so I've only read one of these picks (I threw in one PNR in case you want to try it out). I hope you find something intriguing.

1. Evil Queen/Witch—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs : The Princess Bride by William Goldman has a forest on the cover. I do love the movie, but have never read the book.

2. Lady Tremaine—Cinderella: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - I did see a few YA on your shelves...

3. Queen of Hearts—Alice in Wonderland: A Million Tiny Pieces by Nichole Edward - this book on your TBR had an interesting looking heart on the cover.

4. Maleficent—Sleeping Beauty: This is my wildcard pick as I didn't see any PNR on your shelves. This is one of my favorites and it has dragon shifters - Dragon Bound by Thea Harrision

5. Cruella de Vil—One Hundred and One Dalmatians: Love the cover of this book from your TBR - Kostya by Roxie Riveria

6. Madame Medusa—The Rescuers: I thought you might like Sarah Addison Allen, so I chose The Sugar Queen

7. Ursula—Little Mermaid: I also think you may enjoy Lisa Kleypas, so maybe start with Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor

8. Mother Gothel—Tangled: Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers from your TBR has a lovely wine colored dress on the cover.

Daisy, here are your selections I hope you are happy with them and find something you would like to read for the month.

1. Evil Queen/Witch—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:
For this one I went with a new to you book, Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie. We have an apple on the cover and it's a first in a series, I haven't read it myself but looking at my friends they have rated it highly.

2. Lady Tremaine—Cinderella:
For this one a book from your shelf, Misled by Kathryn Kelly. Form the description it seems that the MC is part of a dysfunctional family.

3. Queen of Hearts—Alice in Wonderland:
Another form your books, Cement Heart by Beth Ehemann. The word "heart" is in the title.

4. Maleficent—Sleeping Beauty:
This one is new to you book. I decided to go with a book that is a top five on any romance listopia list. I looked at your profile and I saw the sub genres of romance that you liked and narrowed my listopia search down to one of them. I picked Young Adult Romance, because YA is been my own personal preference lately. The book I picked was a number 4, The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. I picked this one in particular because the flower on the cover is a daisy and it's purplish in color and we see some green from the stem.

5. Cruella de Vil—One Hundred and One Dalmatians:
New to you, Wedded in Scandal by Jade Lee it is a histoical romance set in England, as most are. Our MC works in the fashion industry, she runs a dressmakers shop.

6. Madame Medusa—The Rescuers:
From your list, Stealing Home by Sherryl Woods the book is set in Southern States.

7. Ursula—Little Mermaid :
Maid for Love by Marie Force it has water on the cover and it is from your tbr.

8. Mother Gothel—Tangled:

Hi Leigh!!
Here are your picks! I really hope you find something enjoyable :-)

Evil Queen/Witch—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
◘ NEW: Eternity – Maggie Shayne (The heroine is a witch plus it’s a first in a series – I enjoyed this series a great deal)
◘ TBR: Witch Hunt – S.M. Reine (Also witches and a first)


Lady Tremaine—Cinderella
◘ NEW: You and No Other – Cynthia Wright (You have this author on your TBR but I don’t see that you've read her. I really liked this one and am looking forward to the next one)
◘ TBR: Sweet Trouble – Susan Mallery (IIRC the heroine is quite manipulative in her younger years and the family is somewhat dysfunctional)


Queen of Hearts—Alice in Wonderland
◘ NEW: Dance With The Enemy – Linda Boulanger (A sort of fated story but the heroine is a descendant of the king)
◘ TBR: God Save the Queen – Kate Locke (Alternate/fantasy universe)


Maleficent—Sleeping
◘ NEW: Wildest Dreams – Kristin Ashley (A different genre for Ms Ashley – I am enjoying this series. The heroine could be said to be searching for happiness [ever since her parents were killed] but there are dragons in the story as well as on the cover)
◘ TBR: The Dragon's Heart – Eden Ashe (Dragons! And there is a stylized dragon on the cover)


Cruella de Vil—One Hundred and One Dalmatians
◘ NEW: Lola Carlyle Reveals All – Rachel Gibson (One of my favorite authors! The heroine is a fashion model. You don’t have a lot of contemps on your TBR, I hope you find this one enjoyable)
◘ TBR: The Darkest Night – Gena Showalter (They are all ultimately looking for Pandora’s Box)


Madame Medusa—The Rescuers
◘ NEW: Anything You Can Do – Sally Berneathy (I remember this being an amusing read – the heroine is red-headed and a bit fiery)
◘ TBR: Crime in The Big Easy – Deborah Lynne (Does vixen = fiery temper? No matter, she’s also described as a red-head and it takes place in the south [New Orleans])


Ursula—Little Mermaid
◘ NEW: Bunny and the Bear – Eve Langlais (You have some of this author on your TBR but not this series. I debated the Nicky Charles series [Law of the Lycans] but this series is more light-hearted… but you can choose the Nicky if you like)
◘ TBR: Savage Hunger – Terry Spear (Shifters!)


Mother Gothel—Tangled
◘ NEW: 72 Hours – Shannon Stacey (Another author that is one of my favorite! This is different genre for her and I really liked the series – this one the heroine is a mother and her son has been kidnapped. It’s also a second change love story)
◘ TBR: Seduced by a Highlander – Paula Quinn (Not sure how much actually takes place in a castle but they meet at court and his family has a castle)

Hi Eden,

We don't have a lot of books in common, so for books new to you, I picked some of my faves. Hopefully, you'll enjoy them as well.

Evil Queen/Witch—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: book that is first in a series (from your to be read shelf) - I read this one when I first started reading romance, and I enjoyed it, so I hope you will too -

Lady Tremaine—Cinderella: shoe on cover (new to you) -

Queen of Hearts—Alice in Wonderland: MC suffers from mental illness (from your to be read shelf) - I don't read a lot of historical romance, but you seem to have quite a few on your shelves. This one is the first in a historical series that I love by Jennifer Ashley -

Maleficent—Sleeping Beauty: book that is a top five on any romance listopia list (new to you) - One genre we did seem to agree on was YA/YA Romance, and I noticed this one wasn't on your shelves anywhere. It's one of my fave YA romances, and I think you might love Patch as much as I do. #1 book on the Best Teen Romance listopia -

Cruella de Vil—One Hundred and One Dalmatians: black & white cover (new to you) - This is one of my all-time faves, and I saw a recent humorous romance at the top of your favorites shelf, so I thought this may be one you'd enjoy. It definitely made me laugh -

Madame Medusa—The Rescuers: takes place in Southern United States (new to you) -

Ursula—Little Mermaid: story is set on or near the sea/ocean; water on the cover (from your to be read shelf) - Based on the description and the cover, it's set on the shores of Western Scotland, and there's water on the cover as well -

Mother Gothel—Tangled: flower on cover (from your to be read shelf)-

Thanks for the great picks Breann. I'm not sure what I'll read, but I'm leaning towards Concealed in Death or Infinity.

Ok Raine I'm finally ready with your picks. I am going to apologize now because it was almost impossible to fine "new" picks for you. Every single book I thought you'd enjoy was already on your 13,000+ tbr. Lol! So, many of the 'new to you' books I've chosed are probably out of your normal comfort zone, but I think you'll enjoy them anyway. To compensate I've included picks from your general tbr as well.
Here we go...

1. Evil Queen ~ Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs:
(PIFM) Sweet Filthy Boy, Just fell in love with this author and this series!
(TBR) Halfway to the Grave, Cat is kick-ass and Bones is super hot.
(NEW) Raphael, same as above, kick-ass heroine and hot alpha male.


2. Lady Tremaine ~ Cinderella:
(PIFM) The Siren, Definitely not a romance but totally HOT. This was a great series!
(TBR) The Professional, An extremely dysfunctional family with a hot yet questionalble alpha male.
(NEW) A Good Student, This is one of those love it or hate it books because of the shaming. Told from the male's perspective.


3. Queen of Hearts ~ Alice in Wonderland:
(PIFM) Tempting the Beast, Definitely an alternate and steamy universe.
(TBR) Victorious Star, How do you go wrong with a menage in space?
(NEW) Warprize, 1st of a trilogy and one of my favorite books. Love the feisty heroine and her sexy warlord.


4. Maleficient ~ Sleeping Beauty
(PIFM) Dragon Bound, A five star read for me with one of the best H/h combos ever.
(TBR) The Reluctant Dom, Sexy and sad, have your tissues ready.
(NEW) Escorted, I enjoyed this one, sexy and cute.


5. Cruella De Vil ~ One Hundred & One Dalmatians
(PIFM) Sins & Needles, Flawed yet interesting characters in desparate situations.
(TBR) Passion, Enjoy it for the erotica that it is, I did :)
(NEW) No Commitment Required, Digging through my "read" shelf I found this one; a fun, sexy read.


6. Madame Medusa ~ The Rescuers
(PIFM) Captive in the Dark, I remember feeling guilty for liking this book so much, but it doesn't change the fact that I really did.
(TBR) Wicked Ties, There's a sex scene in this book that still sticks with me. Very hot read.
(NEW) Radiance, This is on my tbr and I'm hoping to read it very soon. Definitely not your typical romance when the interspecies couple find eachother hideous, lol.


7. Ursula ~ The Little Mermaid
(PIFM) Wicked Games, I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did; fun and sexy.
(TBR) Surviving Raine, how could I resist your namesake? I enjoyed the read as well.
(NEW) Cry Wolf, very scary alpha wolf saves damaged damsel in distress. Great book!


8. Mother Gothel ~ Tangled
(PIFM) Ten Tiny Breaths, a young woman playing 'mother' to her little sister. Another book I'm looking forward to reading very soon.
(TBR) Midnight Man, Another sex scene I can't get out of my head.
(NEW) The Bride, one of my all time favorite historicals with a fiesty heroine and an alpha hero. Loved it!


I hope you find something you like. Happy Reading!

TBR: Double Full by Kindle Alexander (sounds very good)
New: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness ( On your TBR shelf but not your preferred)

Lady Tremaine—Cinderella

TBR: Italian Ice by E.M. Lynley (The MC is searching for antiques smugglers)

Hey Inge!

Since you were supposed to pick for me and the TBR picks match up very nicely with my preferred shelf, I'm guessing you just put the wrong name on your post! Anyway, your picks look good and I'm sure I'll read a few of them - just haven't figured out which ones will fit best in my other challenges. Thanks for the great picks!

Fran,

These are my picks for you. I hope you find something that catches your fancy.

1. Evil Queen/Witch—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
- (TBR) First in a series. I read it a few months back and really liked it.

2. Lady Tremaine—Cinderella
- (NEW) You do seem to have read a few YA novels, and this is one of the best I read in the last year.

3. Queen of Hearts—Alice in Wonderland
- (TBR) Definitely an intriguing synopsis.

4. Maleficent—Sleeping Beauty
- (NEW) I may need to read this book myself. A friend who read it recently told me that it was great fun.

5. Cruella de Vil—One Hundred and One Dalmatians
- (TBR) I think I need to read this book as well; it sounds real damn good.

6. Madame Medusa—The Rescuers

7. Ursula—Little Mermaid
- (TBR) Another one that I now need to add to my own shelves.
