Group Read for June!
Historical Romance...
Hahaha! Wow, that's pretty big. Okay, so Historical Romance will be on the poll. Anything else?
Supernatural Romance or Historical Romance either one is good.
LOL... Suspense would be nice or HR - I'm flexable
Supernatural or Suspense are my faves, but Historical can be good to!
paranormal/magical/shape-shifting romance
I came to suggest HR but I see most of you already suggested it, LOL!So I'll nominate Erotica.
Wow, we've already got a good selection... maybe I'll save us time and close these nominations down after today.Does anyone have a problem with that?
Alright, I posted the poll. Please cast your votes. (Though I'm sure I know which one will win, haha.)
You never know... I've never read a sports romance before :)
Off topic --- Leea, I recommend The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton.
I thought it was a pretty good read.
LOL Ladyhawk! Good questions hehe. I've see this book before on the 'attractive covers.' I just voted for Sports Romance, I love trying something new :)
Now where in the heck do I find the poll? I never could find it last month. :-(@ Ladyhawk - Very carefully! :-p The next book in the series has an even better cover. :-)
**edit** Nevermind. I just figured it out. >.<
I was about to respond, but you found it so never mind!
A really good sports romance: It Had to Be You. Don't pay attention to the infamous 'breasts' cover. The book is VERY good.
I've never read a Sports romance either. I'd be down for that one.Maybe I should put a link to the poll in the first post here... that may make it easier for people. I did send out a Poll invite.
I think that what I'm going to do for other months is whatever genre was selected previously won't be on the poll for the following month so that we make sure to change it up a bit.So say Sports wins for June, it won't be an option for July. It will be available again for August, though.
Thoughts?

Sounds good to me!
That makes sense, Wendy!Sometimes I wonder if there's a genre I haven't read, LOL!
Also, for next month, instead of taking genre nominations I'm going to just use the same basic Genre list (to save time). So if you guys think of any other Genre's that are missing please let me know and I'll add them for the July group read.(I realized we're missing YA Romance so I'm adding that for next month because it's one of my favorites.)
I had nominated just plain Erotica but I don't see it on the list. I think it's probably better to have erotica as a broader genre because it may help ease some people into the genre. Meaning that some people may feel like trying erotica but may not like contemporary or m/m so that way they could be feel free to try something else.Something else missing is Urban Fantasy.
I did see the erotica, but then people nominated Paranormal Erotica and Historical Erotica, getting more specific. (People who wanted Paranormal Erotica would be able to nominate that genre if either Erotica or Paranormal Erotica were selected, which seemed maybe not fair for the other genre's.)But I will be happy to keep Erotica broad next month and not take specific erotica genre's. (I personally liked it broader too.)
The Urban Fantasy is a great one too, thanks! I'm keeping a list in my purse notebook for next month. I'm still working out a more streamlined way of doing these, and I think just having a basic genre poll for every month is the best idea.
This is the base list I have so far... let me know if you guys can think of anything else.Historical Romance
PNR
Sports Romance
Erotica
Romantic Suspense
Contemporary Romance
YA Romance
Urban Fantasy
Sci-Fi Romance
Western Romance
Thanks, Wendy. Makes sense. :)It's just that for instance my favorite erotica is Sci-Fi but I wouldn't necessarily nominate that. I'm sure most people may not be into Sci-Fi at all, let alone Sci-Fi erotica!
We should add sci-fi... I love trying new books :)
Yay, I think Sci-Fi sounds great too. Regina reads a Sci-fi type romance, I think. I'll add that.D.G. I agree with you. Plus, if you wanted to nominate a SciFi Erotica when it's Erotica time that would still work. I personally think it sounds really awesome. I've never read one.
For some reason I can believe all the weird couples if the story is in space, LOL!If you guys would like to try some out, please let me know...I can recommend some.
And I'm a big historical fan but don't care much for historical erotica. I'm always like...really? This young virgin who's never even said a bad word in her life doesn't bat an eye at anal sex with 3 guys?
LOL!
HAHAHA!! That's really funny! It helps if there's a twist to the Historical. Like in Bertrice Small's The Love Slave, she was kidnapped and sold to a harem.I wouldn't mind a space erotica rec.
I also like romances which have a horse theme...does this qualify as a genre?

Going on a suggestion from a member, we're going to do it a little bit different this time. Starting now we're going to take nominations for one specific genre. I'll host a poll, and we'll select one genre. At that point we'll take book Noms for that genre. Hopefully this helps us keep the book poll to just a few nominations.
Genre nominations will end when I go night night on May 7th.
