Here are my picks for you! I hope you find something you like.

2. Green Lantern:
Dead Reckoning
Killing Me Softly by Maggie Shayne. She was among your favorite authors and this is a first book of her romantic suspense series.

Both books are among my favorites and from your TBR also.

Marked
Water for Elephants

[D.G.]

Well, I found 3 books so I don't think I did too badly! :)

[D.G.]

Elizabeth,

I see you're relatively new to Goodreads so I'm not sure how up to date are your shelves with books you've read or are planning to read. So I tried to recommend a mix of known books in certain genres with a few more obscure ones. Except from the books I found in your TBR (marked with an asterisk), I've read all the books I recommended and enjoyed them all. If it turns out you've read most of them, let me know and I can give you new recs!

1. Superman: Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder OR Angelfall by Susan Ee - two new genres I didn't see on your shelves (fantasy and post apocalyptic).

2. Green Lantern: Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead OR Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin* - Two books from authors you've read in the past and enjoyed.

3. Batman: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon OR Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen - I haven't read any of the books in your TBR so I'm just recommending you two books I've loved!

4. Wolverine: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein (animals) OR Dark Lover by J.R. Ward (hero over 40). I'm not into car racing but I still remember some maxims I learned in the first book. The second book is a famous paranormal romance and as soon as I saw you didn't have it your shelves, I know I had to recommend it.

5. The Hulk: The Sleeping Night by Barbara Samuel OR Cry No More by Linda Howard - both really emotional books.

6. Wonder Woman: Moon Called by Patricia Briggs OR Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning (kick-ass heroines) - Mercy (from Moon Called) is one of my favorite heroines ever. Mac (from Darkfever) is not kick ass in this book but she really becomes stronger as the series progresses.

7. Thor: Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard* OR Wicked Ties by Shayla Black - The first book is from your TBR; the second is a erotic BDSM, which I recommended as I saw you liked Fifty Shades. This book is VERY explicit though. :)

BUDDY READS: I'll be travelling for most of August so I cannot do any of the buddy reads.

8. Spider-man: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith* OR On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves (want to read) OR Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I don't live very far from 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' was written (NOT in Brooklyn, LOL!) so I've always wanted to read it. In fact, I'm adding it to my TBR now! The second book is just a book I want to read, period. It's gotten great reviews so I'm looking forward to reading it. The third book I already read but it's awesome science fiction with a definite geek as the lead.

9. Captain America: A Summer to Remember by Mary Balogh (historical) OR Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles OR Hearts in Darkness by Laura Kaye (feel good romance). Awesome, awesome books, really romantic.

[Irina]

[Daffodil]

Ashley I enjoyed browsing through your shelves and hope you enjoy your picks. As always, I had trouble limiting myself to just 1 per category, so you have a few extra options.

1. Superman
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is considered a romance classic.
Grimspace by Ann Aguirre is the first book in the Sirantha Jax series. I found urban fantasies and paranormals on your shelves, but I didn't see much in the way of sci-fi. Grimspace would be a great place to start.

2. Green Lantern>
Diabolical by Cynthia Leitich Smith is the fourth book in a series you've started.
Heaven and Hell by Kristen Ashley, #5 on your "Most Read Authors" list

3. Batman
The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley is one of my favorite historicals. Thought strange at best (and mad at worst) by most of society, Ian makes an unconventional hero. His brilliance is often misunderstood by his own family. To tell you how much I loved this book, I went out and bought it almost as soon as I returned the library's copy.
The Lion's Lady by Judy Garwood. Garwood's historicals are on my comfort-read list. When I saw this on your TBR, I knew I had to recommend it.

4. Wolverine
Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane. Chess Putnam has drug addictions, low self-esteem and intimacy issues. Definitely not your standard hero. But somehow, even when I want to yell over her bad behavior of the moment, I still find myself rooting for her.
Of Bees and Mist by Erick Setiawan. This looks interesting and I couldn't resist adding it to my shelves when I found it on yours.

5. The Hulk
Flowers from the Storm by Laura Kinsale. Intense and emotional are definitely the right words for this book. One of Kinsale's best, IMO.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is another book that drew an emotional response from me.

6. Wonder Woman
Touched by an Alien by Gini Koch. From the moment Kitty sees her first alien monster and goes on the attack, I loved this book. Her odd sense of humor really appeals to me and the remaining cast of characters are wonderfully unique.
Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep definitely features a strong female. Gin is an assassin in a universe with elementals, vampires and giants. I recently read book 6 and will definitely be buying book 7 when it comes out in late August.

7. Thor
Bound by Your Touch by Meredith Duran. The picture says it all. ;D Though I haven't read anything by Duran yet, I have more than a few books marked for my shelves. If you decide to read it, definitely let me know what you think.
Skin Game by Ava Gray features an interesting couple. Kyra can temporarily "steal" your best skill with a touch and Reyes has been sent to hunt her down.


BUDDY READS
Just let me know if you want to do a buddy read, a couple of these will require a trip to the library.

8. Spider-man
Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I really tried to read this in July, but didn't quite make it.
Mum's the Word by Kate Collins. I haven't read any of her mysteries, but this looks interesting.

9. Captain America
Noble Intentions by Katie MacAlister. I've really enjoyed her various Dragon series, so this historical romance might be worth reading.
The Next Always by Nora Roberts is the first book in a new romance series I've been wanting to read.

[Tania]

Hi Lethal Lovely

I had a great time going through your shelves. I hope you find something here that you can enjoy reading this month.

Superman
You don't have much sci-fi(ish) in your read shelves that I can see. I'd recommend trying Grimspace by Ann Aguirre.

Green Lantern
So many choices here... after a long and strongly debated argument with myself I decided on Firewalker by Allyson James

Batman
I had to go with Ill Wind by Rachel Caine for this one. I love the lead character - she's smart and quirky and picked up a hitchhiker that in my mind looks like Ewan McGregor (nerdy hot).

Wolverine
Huh .. sorry... got distracted by memories of Hugh Jackman without a shirt on... My distraction is the reason I figure I can get away with recommending About a Dragon by G.A. Aiken. Dragon's are animals aren't they :)

The Hulk
So I recently forced myself to try to read the 50 Shades series for book club. It was awful. Soooo much wrong with it it's hard to describe. When talking about it in book club I kept wanting to refer to The Reluctant Dom by Tymber Dalton. It was an incredibly emotional read for me and I'd be interested to hear what you think.

Wonder Woman
I'm dying to read the latest in the Ghostwalker series and from everything I've heard Thorn is a kick ass heroine. Jump into Samurai Game by Christine Feehan and see what you think.

Thor
Sweet Addiction by Maya Banks. Enough said :D

Buddy Reads
I'm up for reading either of these two so let me know if you want to do a buddy read (by PM if you decided during the month I don't check the challenge thread very often).

Spider-Man
Rampant by Saskia Walker looks amazing. Hot Scottish Guy(s)... bring it on.

Captain America
I did want to suggest Captive Bride by Bonnie Dee but I'm on a book-buying ban this month and I don't think my local library is going to have it. So instead I'm going with To Wed a Scandalous Spy by Celeste Bradley who is a new author to me and has been sitting on my shelf for far too long...

[Susan (susayq ~)]

Breann, I'm driving home today and will work on your picks tonight when I get home :)

[Megan L]

Hi Dawn(Kat n Hat),

It looks like you and I have the same tastes in books so it made it easy for me to pick for you! I hope you like my picks.

1. Superman: Ok so you didn't have any classics I could pick for you but I think this series you should defintely be reading.
Naked in Death. It is a great series.

2. Green Lantern: Ok so I loved the first book and the second book in the Hunger games is really good. Catching Fire

3. Batman:Gideon. This series have all brooding hunky men! I love it!

4. Wolverine:Tempting the Beast. This on is about big cat/people. It is good but umm well lots of sex scenes so if you are into that you will like it.

5. The Hulk: Once Burned. I just read this book and loved it! I love Vlad! He is a very emotional guy as well as Laila the main character!

6. Wonder Woman: Angels' Blood. This one is about a vampire hunter.

7. Thor: Tempt Me with Darkness. This book is steamy and the main character is very yummy!

Buddy Reads

8. Spider-man:The Mane Event. This looks interesting and it is on both our TBR.

9. Captain America: The Duke And I. This is another one I have had on my TBR that I have been meaning to read and looks like a good classical feel good romance!

Ok so there you go. Let me know when you want to do the buddy reads I am pretty flexible. I hope you like your picks. If not let me know and I will repick for you.

Laura, thank you for the quick picks! I'll read either Archangel's Kiss, Black Ice, or Best of Friends. I have all three sitting on the slopes of Mt. ToBeRead.

Vi, I will have picks up for you sometime today.

[Pam]

Hi Amy J-
I love going through extensive TBR lists--here's what I've chosen

1. Superman: You have lots of classics on your TBR. Try either or . It's been years since I read either one but I used to reread GWTW on a regular basis. Rhett Butler...sigh

2. Green Lantern: Next in a series or from someone you've read before


3. Batman: Books from your TBR that I've loved or (This is also the author of the month so it could be a two-fer)

4. Wolverine: or or

5. The Hulk: All from the YA shelf I just read this book this month. I like the second one better but they do need to be read in order. I wept during this book...over and over. This was recommended to me in a previous PIFM and it remains one of my favorites. Very thought provoking.


6. Wonder Woman: My favorite three kick ass female leads Kate Andrews you read the first, they only get better. The new one comes out Tuesday and I can't wait! Mercedes Thompson another case where you have read the first and they only get better. Eve Dallas The first in a long series from your TBR. Worth a look. Finally This is the first in my favorite mystery series ever. This isn't Stabenow's best but they really do get better and Kate Shugak personifies kickass.

7. Thor: Steamy Steamier Steamiest

BUDDY READS:

8. Spider-man: or or or mentioned above

9. Captain America: or

8. Spider-man:My Shifter Showmance

9. Captain America:feel-good romance-Heart Signs

[Penney]

Sue, I'm going through your shelves now and will have your picks up today :)

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Kami,

I had fun going through your bookshelves and I hope you find something intriguing in these picks.

1. Superman - A few choices here as I'm not much of a classics reader. One classic - East of Eden by John Steinbeck. The woman is pure evil, in a soap-operish way. One new genre - The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. Very different writing style as PI Izzy tells the story of her life and her very strange PI family. And one book where the hero was the basis for Superman (and boy did he get in trouble) - Simply Irresistible by Kristine Grayson. You don't need to read the first trilogy first.

2. Green Lantern - The next In Death book is calling you - Witness in Death by J.D. Robb.

3. Batman - We've got a quirky brainy hero in High Energy by Dara Joy or you can check out Dark Descendant by Jenna Black which I read recently and really enjoyed (and will be starting the sequel soon).

4. Wolverine - Ok, I've got the perfect book. It has an anti-hero over 40 and a dog - Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie. Lots of quirky characters and a sweet romance takes place while the bodies pile up. A hitman is asked to protect a food columnist who is a bit too fond of frying pans.

5. The Hulk - I'm not big on emotional/tear-jerker kind of books, so this was a bit harder. Fantasy genre tends to be intense though so here are a couple suggestions. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, when the heroine is being trained as a poison taster (really interesting), you know there will be some intense emotions. The Mirror of Her Dreams by Stephen R. Donaldson, the heroine is practically shut-off from her emotions before being taken through a mirror to another world. FYI - this is book 1 of a duology.

6. Wonder Woman - Gin in Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep is very strong as she hunts down her mentor's killer.

7. Thor - as long as you get the newer cover Amaryllis by Jayne Castle fits the bill. This takes place on a world we settled and didn't expect to be cut off from. The population gained psychic powers over the generations, but they are split as the people with powers need a person with a prism to help them focus it. Or there is Storm of Visions by Christina Dodd. A group of people with powers are coming together to save the world.



Buddy Reads
8. Spider-Man - I was thrilled to see Redshirts by John Scalzi on your TBR as I just bought it and it looks like it will be a fun read.

9. Captain America - One historical - Warrior by Zoe Archer, I've heard it is kind of like an Indiana Jones movie. Or a feel good romance - Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie is one of my all-time favorite books that I'm about due to re-read. A sweet story about two insecure people growing and learning to love after a rocky start and taking their friends along for the ride. Since it is by Crusie, there are plenty of quirky characters. Do not read while hungry as you will be craving Italian food.

[SandyC]

Hello, Joyce!
I enjoyed browsing your shelves. Hope you find something you like on this list!

1. Superman: You have many genres on your shelves, but I didn't see much Epic Fantasy or Historical Romance, so I am recommending
A Game of Thrones and When Beauty Tamed the Beast. For classics, two excellent books are The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird.

2. Green Lantern: This was easy since you have lots of series you are working on.
From Dead to Worse
Burnt Offerings
Changeless

3. Batman: The Girl Who Played With Fire
Succubus Blues

4. Wolverine:
Drums of Autumn
A Hunger Like No Other

5. The Hulk:
Lover Awakened
Firefly Lane
Angela's Ashes

6. Wonder Woman:
One Foot in the Grave
Frostbite
The Hunger Games (this one would also work for emotional/intense!)

7. Thor:
Black Magic Lover
Eternal Rider
The Truth about Vampires (Harlequin Nocturne, #107)

BUDDY READS:

8. Spider-man: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. I own this and can start any time.

I really want to read Once Burned but I feel I should be caught up with Cat & Bones so maybe I'll make progress toward that as well this month.

[Cacophony]

Hi Amanda!
It looks like we both share a love for contemporary romance. Your to be read shelf is kind of small, which is a blessing and a curse for me since it makes choosing faster but more difficult since I have only read a few of the books on your to be read shelf. I had to reccomend a couple books that I haven't personally read, but most of these books I have read and enjoyed, so I hope one of them will work out for you.

1. Superman: A Hunger Like no Other or Lover Awakened by JR Ward Both of these are great corner stones of the paranormal romance genre.

2. Green Lantern: Why not read the next Virgin River Book. Looks like Promise Canyon by Robin Carr is the next book for you to read in this series.

3. Batman: Heaven Texas by Susan Elizabeth Phillips It looks like you have read a book from this series before. Try this one next, it is great.

4. Wolverine: Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis I have not read this book, but it looked interesting.

5. The Hulk: The Gambler's Heart by Gayle Wilson This is kind of an obscure book, but it is the most emotionally intense book I have ever read.

6. Wonder Woman: Moon Called by Patricia Briggs The first in a series that I just love beyond words. I can't recommend it highly enough.

7. Thor: Unlawful Contact by Pamela Clare This is technically the third in a series but I read it first and followed the story just fine.

1. Superman: I interpreted classics a bit loosely. From your TBR: A Kiss at Midnight (Fairy Tales #1) or When Beauty Tamed the Beast, both by Eloisa James and suggestive of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. Or Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.

2. Green Lantern: Tempt Me at Twilight (The Hathaways #3) by Lisa Kleypas.

3. Batman: Naked (In Death #1) by J.D. Robb. Megan L suggested this to me in April's PIFM. I have become obsessed with this series. Perhaps Eve Dallas is not the brainiest heroine, but she's methodical and always solves her cases!

4. Wolverine: I see that you emjoyed Shelly Laurenston's Magnus Pack series so what about The Mane Event?

5. Hulk: Fifty Shades of Grey or Bared to You. Everyone seems to have an emotional reaction to these books. I've read both and liked both, although I don't read enough in this genre to have an informed opinion.

6. Wonder Woman: Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost (I adore Cat) or Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill.

7. Thor: When You Dare by Lori Foster

Buddy Reads:

8. Spiderman : Soulless (Parasol Protectorate #1)

9. Captain America : The Soldier or Tempt Me at Twilight

Let me know if you want to do the buddy read!

3. Batman: Dark brooding superhero - Frostbite by Richelle Mead (A great followup to Vampire Academy)

7. Thor: The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook

Here are your picks:

1.Superman: I, Claudius by Robert Graves. It's a classic and I think it may be a new genre for you. It's a good book.

2.Green Lantern: The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead. I just got the first one in this series. I love Richelle Mead.

3.Batman: Attachments by Rainbow Rowell. The guy in this book is brainy. I loved the story.

4.Wolverine: Eternal Rider by Larissa Ione. The guy is way over 40 years old.

5.The Hulk: The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. Seems pretty intense.

6.Wonder Woman: Embrace by Jessica Shirvington. The girl in this seems pretty kick ass

7.Thor: Marked by Elisabeth Naughton. Awesome cover, awesome book.

Buddy Reads

8.Spiderman: The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett or Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Great! I'm so glad you found something in there. Let me know when you want to start Viscount Breckenridge. :)

Hi, Gigi! Here are your picks:

1. Superman: New genre - I didn't see any dystopian on your read shelf, so why not start with the big one, The Hunger Games?
2. Green Lantern: Lover Unleashed, Covet - you've enjoyed J.R. Ward's books so far, why not give the rest a chance?
3. Batman: Dark brooding superhero - If I Stay, The Truth About Forever, both YA, but I've enjoyed both immensely, and I hope you give them a chance. Also, The Night Circus, that is a quite surprising book.
4. Wolverine: You've a lot of Nora Roberts on your TBR shelf... so why not start with Hot Ice, that has a fine anti-hero?
5. The Hulk: Poison Study, Gabriel's Inferno
6. Wonder Woman: The Secret, Vampire Academy, Slave to Sensation
7. Thor: Taken by the Viking, The Irish Devil

BUDDY READS:
8. Spider-man: The most relatable superhero with the famous line: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Poughkeepsie - both I've been itching to read, so maybe we could do it together.
9. Captain America:Ransom My Heart



I tried to introduce new books whilst still being loyal to your shelfs... hope you can find at least one book that grabs your attention! Let me know what you think of your picks! (:

Hi Christina,

Thankyou for the picks - at the moment it looks like I'll either read Two for the Dough or Wuthering Heights. I'd be up for a buddy read of Divergent.

Hi Brett!

I had fun going through your shelves. You are a much well-rounded reader than me. I go through genres haphazardly. Our tastes are not exactly similar but I hope you'll like the picks. If not, let me know and I'll re-pick for you.

Brett, I'm very sleepy now; I'm going to forgo the comments in favor of putting up the picks now.

Superman:
1. The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde - One of the most weird book premises ever. But I enjoyed it completely.
2. Storm Front by by Jim Butcher - I notice that you didn't have much UF by male authors.
3. Ashfall by Mike Mullin - Not much post-apocalyptic books in your bookshelf and this is one of the books I really enjoyed.



Green Lantern:
1. Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews
2. The Shattered Sylph by L.J. McDonald



Batman:
1. Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase
2. Something About You by Julie James - Technically, you don't have this book on your shelf but you do have another of the authors. So a bit of cheating leads me to recommend this book :)
3. Easy by Tammara Webber



Wolverine:
Well, people do shape-shift into animals. I really enjoyed both of these book - both so different from each other.

1. Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh
2. Seraphina by Rachel Hartman



The Hulk:
1. Cry No More by Linda Howard
2. The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
3. Sophie & Carter by Chelsea Fine - A short but emotionally intense read.



Wonder Woman:
1. Moon Called by Patricia Briggs
2. Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman



Thor:
1. Promises by Marie Sexton
2. Master of the Mountain by Cherise Sinclair



BUDDY READS:

Daffodil Hope you find something interesting!

1. Superman: Red Roses Mean Love- You have some HR, but not a lot. This is one of my favorite authors.

Hi Macwolf01(Elise) So happy to pick for you. I had so much fun wandering through your shelves. I hope you like your picks and find something good to read this month. Let me know if you need me to pick again. Happy Reading!


1. Superman: The Help or Northanger AbbeyI think the first one is a modern classic and you haven't read this Jane Austen yet and it is great.


2. Green Lantern: Gideon or Lover RebornYou started the first series and seemed to like it. I love this series! This next one is not my favorite but it is very good. And Lover Reborn is the last in the series - you've read all the others. Time to finish!


3. Batman:A Game of Thrones or A Discovery of Witches The first is such a dark, amazing story and the second is such a wonderful book about a brainy researcher.


4. Wolverine: Ill Wind or Dragon BoundThis is one of my favorite series and the hero (sort of) is Djinn who was present at the beginning of time. And the second book is another of my favorites and the Dragon hero is a grouch who's been around since the beginning of time as well.


5. The Hulk: The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie or Slave to Sensation
The first book is one of my favorite historical romances and is about an emotionally stunted individual and the second is the first in a series that I love and is about an emotionally stunted society.


6. Wonder Woman: Magic Bites or The Iron Duke Both of these books are fabulous and feature amazing heroines. I notice you haven't read any Ilona Andrews and that should be remedied!


7. Thor:Red Heat or Surrender I've never read the first but I loved the cover and the second is a wonderful book that is a start to a great series and I also love the cover!


Buddy Reads I am able to do either of these this month. Just let me know if you would like to.

8. Spider-man: Moon Called I have to read this for another challenge and I've had it on my TBR for forever. I don't think she's a geek, however!

9. Captain America: The Peach Keeper I've never read this author before but it's supposed to be good.

Thanks for the great picks, no need to add more ...

I'll try reading some of these: Magic Bites, Lover Reborn, The Iron Duke, The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie, Slave to Sensation, Gideon, A Discovery of Witches or The Help. Not sure yet which will be first but most likely Lover Reborn as my friends are getting antsy to borrow it.

Thanks again! E
