No worries, Inge! Once I noticed that a lot of the picks looked really familiar, I figured out what must have happened. I'm very happy with what you picked for me, even if it did have someone else's name on it! :D

S.J. Higgins Hi Sunshine,

Sorry for the late response. I am battling with my Goodreads app and seem to be missing some messages. I tried to give you a variety to choose from, both from your may-reading and authors you haven't listed. They say a change is as good as a holiday.

Here are your picks. I hope you enjoy :)

From your List:-

Beautifully Unbroken

Silver Bastard

Lover Reborn

Beautiful Oblivion

Then to mix it up:-

Driven

Maybe Someday

Fixed on You

The Fault in Our Stars


I have to confess, I added Driven by K. Bromberg as she recently became a favourite author of mine. I love, love, love The Driven series. Colton Donovan is steamy hot!

Hi KarenH, I have switched to using my laptop instead of the phone. I'm less likely to break something this way hehe.

Thanks for the reply. I have posted the picks but then after saw the Disney theme. I will be better next time. I promise.

Thanks KathyD,
I've really messed this challenge up. I have figured it out (after posting the picks - sorry) as I said to KarenH, I switched to my laptop instead of using the app on the phone and it is much easier to navigate.

Thanks for your patience.
