Ari (aristotlelovesbooks) Erin! Here are your picks, I hope you have fun :D

Grumpy - Recommend a book that is Romantic Suspense, has a character that is Grumpy or has a very intense personality, or a book with red on the cover.

TBR – A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas I read this one and loved it.
NEW – Mean Streak by Sandra Brown One of my favorite books by Sandra Brown with a great, intense male lead.

Happy - Recommend a funny book, or one with a Happy or Joyful character, or a book with blue on the cover.

TBR – Dash & Lily's Book of Dares (Dash & Lily, #1) by Rachel Cohn
NEW – Maybe Someday (Maybe, #1) by Colleen Hoover I haven’t read a lot of books by Hoover, but this is my FAVORITE by her so far. It is so good, and Ridge is one of the loveliest male leads I’ve come across in a work of fiction.

Dopey - Recommend a sweet romance, or one with a naive or sweet character, or a book with lavender/purple on the cover.

TBR – One Small Thing (One Thing, #1) by Piper Vaughn
NEW – The Mistletoe Promise by Richard Paul Evans Evans’ is a rare exception for me when it comes to romance, because, for one, I usually read the ones written by females. But his books are always super fast reads and leave me (90% of the time) with just a really happy and satisfied mood afterward).

Doc -Recommend a book where technology plays an important part in the story, or one with a character who is very smart and/or nerdy or who wears glasses, or a book with orange on the cover.

TBR – Burn for Me (Hidden Legacy, #1) by Ilona Andrews
NEW – The Nerd Who Loved Me (Nerds, #2) by Vicki Lewis Thompson I wasn’t expecting this book to be sexy, but it was. It was fun and funny as well.

Sleepy - Recommend a book where a character spends time in bed or with a bed on the cover, or a book with green on the cover.

TBR – A Gamma's Choice (Under Wolves #1) by Amber Kell
NEW – The Hooker and the Hermit (Rugby, #1) by L.H. Cosway I just finished this one and it’s all kinds of entertaining.

Sneezy - Recommend a book with a character who is suffering or recovering from an illness or injury, or a book with brown on the cover.

TBR – A Fostered Love (Foster Siblings, #1) by Cameron Dane
NEW – The Visitant A Venetian Ghost Story by Megan Chance This one is more on the intense side, and it has some paranormal aspects to it, but I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

Bashful - Recommend a book with a mystery in the storyline, or with a character who is very shy or quiet, or who is hiding something, or a book with yellow on the cover.

TBR – Landline by Rainbow Rowell
NEW – Dying to Please by Linda Howard There’s always a mystery somewhere with this author’s stories, and bonus there’s another hunky male to have fun with.

Snow White - Recommend a book with a virginal character or a menage storyline (yes I know it's warped, but I couldn't resist!) or a book with a mostly white cover.

TBR – Otherwise Engaged by Amanda Quick
NEW – The Virgin Romance Novelist by Meghan Quinn I can’t seem to stop suggestion this book to everyone, because it’s funny and ridiculous at times and sexy at other times, and worth the read.

Madison ✨ | 90 comments Hey ~KarenH~

Sorry again about not getting your picks up until now…I’ve had in-laws staying over for the holidays and that always makes things a bit more hectic than usual! :)

Okay, here are your picks, hope you can find something you enjoy. Let me know if you need any repicks on these.


GrumpyLead by Kylie Scott TBR
Jimmy (main character) is definitely a grumpy guy with an intense personality. While this wasn’t my favorite of the series (I loooved Lick) it still was pretty good.

HappyJust One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins NEW
Higgins is my go-to author when I’m looking for a funny and lighthearted book and this is my favorite of hers.

DopeyWorth Any Price by Lisa Kleypas TBR
Lavender on the cover…I love Kleypas but haven’t picked up this series yet so I’ve even added it to my TBR list :)

DocThe Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion TBR
I see you read the first one in this series and enjoyed, I hope you’ll like the second. As you know, Don is really nerdy and it was nice to see how his relationship with Rosie continued after the first book ended.

SleepyShow Me, Baby by Cherise Sinclair TBR
Green cover

SneezyRomeo, Romeo by Robin Kaye and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes NEW
The heroine in Romeo Romeo ends up with the flu for a good chunk of the book and the hero nurses her back to heath. In Me Before You, the hero was in a terrible accident leaving him wheelchair bound and pretty much bedridden. I enjoyed both of these books and for different reasons; Romeo Romeo is a very lighthearted and easy reading romance, whereas Me Before You ended with me bawling my eyes out.

BashfulRunning Wild by Linda Howard TBR
Heroine is trying to hide something throughout the story from the hero.

Snow WhitePerfect by Judith McNaught NEW
The main character is this sweet, innocent and virgin woman who has a huge heart. McNaught is one of my favorite authors who writes these long, emotional roller coaster stories where I fall in love with the characters and can never put down.

Lead (Stage Dive, #3) by Kylie Scott Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins Worth Any Price (Bow Street Runners, #3) by Lisa Kleypas The Rosie Effect (Don Tillman, #2) by Graeme Simsion Show Me, Baby (Masters of the Shadowlands, #9) by Cherise Sinclair Romeo, Romeo (Domestic Gods, #1) by Robin Kaye Me Before You (Me Before You, #1) by Jojo Moyes Running Wild (The Men from Battle Ridge, #1) by Linda Howard Perfect (Second Opportunities #2) by Judith McNaught

Happy reading for the new year!

~KarenH~ | 11349 comments Hi Kristin, thanks for the picks! Just at a quick glance I see a couple that I'm definitely planning on reading next month, and I'll take a better look once things settle down a bit.

Don't worry for a minute about not getting the picks posted right away - I think everyone is a little busier than usual this time of year, and you got them posted before the deadline, that's all that counts!
