How It Will Work:
1) Please only post no more than 10 books that you would like to read this month.
*minimum 4 books.

2) An assigned person will FIRST pick TWO BOOKS from your post series.

3) SECOND, the assigned person will recommend ONE MORE from a Genre of your choice.

4) You have one month: OCTOBER 2017 to try to read one of the chosen books. You can read ALL THREE if you would like (*if you don't read your book this month, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT)

Picks for Chelle

and for your bonus . Not super scary, but it does take place in a graveyard. :-D

Daph, I pick for you:



Aaand... I'm not really well versed in chick lit, so I looked up the goodreads shelf for it and found a book that looks like fun:

Forgive me if it's not a 100% genre match, I tried!

Hi Jenn....I pick for you
and and from your TBR list because I don't know any of your books....Hope you enjoy

Debbie wrote: "Hi Jenn....I pick for you

Thanks for the great picks Jenn

Thank you for picking for me. The extra sounds great.

For Sunshine

I pick:
& (both sound so good)

And for your genre pick, give this a try. I know it's a Harlequin but it is paranormal romance & pretty interesting IMO:

Hi Denise,

I chose and

Your bonus title is :

Enjoy your books!

Susan A

From your shelf, I'll choose and

I'm not very familiar with M/M romance, but here's a book from an author you've read that I didn't find on your profile

D.G., my picks for you are and for your bonus, I pick . I love Aleatha Romig...

Thanks Sunshine! Those are perfect choices for Halloween!
Chelle

Ezi,

I pick (love me some Tere Michaels) and (sounds good, straight to my TBR!) for you.

For the bonus, I figured I'd give you something non-M/M to go with the M/M books I picked from your list, and since I'm kinda the wrong person to ask for M/F angsty romance recommendations, I had to rely on good old listopia for this - so I accept absolutely zero responsibility if it turns out to be a terrible book. *lol* I've found this for you (after much browsing through sooo many books you've already read XD): . There's an audio version available, so at least I got that part right. :D

Hi D..."

Thanks Jodi, looking forward to them! :)

For Theo I pick: and

Two genre choices: and

Enjoy!

For Runell, I pick
(which I'm planning to re-read soon...it's such a good series!) and
(picked because it was shorter and a different genre from the first book.:)

You didn't mention a preferred genre for your bonus so I only picked 2 books...post your preferred genre, so I can pick your third book. :)

I went and added it! Thanks for pointing it out. I know I've went back and looked at what books I chose a couple of times and neither time did I catch the fact that I didn't put my preferred genre. *facepalm*

Thanks for the picks Susan A! Jodi - I'll be back soon to post my choices for you. Doesn't work from my phone.

For Jodi I pick
(because I've had my eye on this author and plan to try her) and

(because a good friend reads everything by Debbie Macomber and LOVES her)

For a bonus book I pick (a cozy mystery series I read and absolutely love - if you've already started this series, then I'd just pick the next one in the series you haven't read yet)

Have fun!!

Runell wrote: "Hi, Karen! For you I picked and

Thanks, Runell. I needed to get to both of these books for another challenge, so can't wait to read them. The bonus book looks really good too.

Hi Runell!! For your preferred genre, I pick . This is one of my FAVORITE fantasy series (I've listened to the first 3 books in the series like 5 times each.)

Thanks Penumbra!

Hi Karina!! My picks for you...


~ Bonus ~

I'm so NOT a horror fan, so I'm not much good at picking for that genre but I hope you might get a chance to try my pick. It's zombie horror, so who knows...
