Mackenzie, recommend away! More choices are always appreciated.
@Mackenzie - anything specific you're after? @Heather - as usual - I'm open to any suggestions but if it's already on my TBR that'd be great hahahah
@Brittany - I don't have any requests, anything you suggest is more than welcome! If it happens to be on my tbr already then it's ten times better! The more books to choose from the better also!@Sophie do you want anything in particular or should I know to avoid a certain genre?
@ Laura anything on my to be read list is fine. @Brittany here are your picks. ( I'm sorry they don't have the pictures I'm not on my computer.
-Fangirl: the main character likes to read.
-The fault in our stars: both characters share a love of reading.
- 10 blind dates: seen this on your to be read list.
- Ruby red: This was an amazing book and it was also originally written in a different languaged.
For Laura:Black history month:
.. co authored by a black and a white author, it follows a black teen brutally assaulted by a white officer and the white teen who witnessed it. I read this after reading The Hate U Give and thought this one was so much more emotional and thought provoking. I know it's not on your TBR but it's so worth the read and is fast!Bullying:
.. this series has so much inclusivity and touches on all sorts of different bullying and prejudice issues. Characters who read:
.. adorable story! 
.. also on my TBR!Translated:
.. translated from Spanish, I haven't personally read it though it is high on my TBR for this year, but it has high ratings! And then just because it is on your TBR and I really enjoyed it,
!
Mackenzie here are your picks: 
- for characters who read (and I absolutely loved this) 
- written by an author of colour and I enjoyed this a lot! 
- again I loved this - and this kind of fits the different culture prompt! 
- bonus just because I really enjoyed it! @Heather I think I'll go with
- I've been meaning to get around to this for a while!
@Laura it was picked for me in another challenge for Feb so I'm hoping to get it done soon as well. Hopefully we both enjoy it!
I'm down for anything at all! Brownie points if it's already on my TBR but I'm open to new suggestions as well!
Alright I'll look for your picks when I get home!
@TeodoraI'm open to anything really but i would prefer if the books were already on my TBR :))
@Sneha
What books are ones i should avoid?
@SophieSo I have for you:
- for black history month 
- could very well go for black history month too but also for the national stop bullying day
- if you haven't read it already - the main character loves to read 
- it is translated from Polish and if you love epic fantasy you might give this a try, the stories are really good!And also because February is supposedly the month of love I've got some propositions for you:
- read the first book you see in your TBR that has the word "kiss" in the title
-
and the two other ones if you haven't read them, they're really cute-
if you want a romance-based dystopia to try outYou have now all of these, feel free to experiment!

Hey Mackenzie
so I've read Fangirl, it was pretty good
loved Fault in our Stars
and I red Ruby Red a couple months ago, thought it was alright enough that I will continue the series at some point.
So I put a hold on 10 Blind dates but its about a 15 week waitlist..... got any more for me?

Black history month - Choose a book about or written by someone of colour.
not on your tbr and I haven't read it but heard good things. Fits the person of colour on both counts. 
from your tbr, looks really good and different.
not a young adult book. This book unsettled me. Its full of abuse and trying to leave your abuser. Definitely not a book for everyone, but is one that evokes all kinds of emotion. Fits both sides of the POC theme. February 9: National stop bullying day and Read in the bathtub day - Pick a book that involves bullying or efforts to stop it. Or a book that involves reading in any way.
love this book, its on your tbr and definitely involves a type of bullying.
not on your tbr, good ya paranormal series. The MC is a book blogger and loves to read.February 21: International mother language day - Pick a book that is written in a language other than English and translated. Or pick a book about another culture.
or wherever you are at in the Witcher series. Its big right now, I need to read it also. Translated from its original Polish
not on your tbr, cute book though. Translated from its original German.
Also from your tbr, I haven't read it but heard good things. About the Navajo people.
on your tbr, I don't know why you haven't read this yet, you should fix that. Fits the different culture aspect, set in Egypt to start with.Just because:
its on your tbr and I loved this book. It kind of fits under bullying as well as being of a different culture and time period. I could absolutely come up with more, I only got part way through your tbr so if you want more choices let me know
@Brittany That's brilliant! If you still have something for me put them here, I love to have so many options!
@ Laura I'm going to go with children of blood and bone. thank you for the suggestions!@Brittany since you've already read those how about...
- If I'm Being Honest: this was an AMAZING book and I really enjoyed it. it goes with the bullying part of this month.
-Children of blood and bone: I'm also reading this one and it goes with coloured authors.
Bonus- R.I.P Eliza Hart: this was also a good book and deserves more people to read it with how good it was.
@Heather, this is mostly from your 'tbr-owned-books' tag.-Wonder: It's the only book that's not on your tbr. It includes bullying. It's a middle-grade book and it's very good.
-Six Of Crows: I can't believe you haven't read this. It's my all-time favorite book. It's high fantasy and it's the best book ever!
-City Of Ghosts: Also a middle grade. It's very good.
- Pride And Prejudice: It's my favorite classic book. It's great.
-City Of Heavenly Fire: The best series I have ever read. I read this in 2 days. It's that good.

Ooh I hope you enjoy it!
@SnehaHelloo! Here are my picks for you :))
1.
The main character is an author, and she reads something throughout the book, reading is very involved in the plot :)
2.
One of the main characters is a POC! It's also one of my absolute favorite books :)
3.
I haven't actually read this myself so i don't have any comments about it but I know that the book was originally written in german :))
@Teodora, i'm looking forward to start reading one of the books you chose for me :))

I read Wonder in January and it was SO good!
I'm going to go with City of Ghosts as I love me some VW Schwab!

If I'm Being Honest sounds great sadly the library doesn't have an ebook copy so I will have to wait on that one.
I've put a hold on Children of Blood and Bone so I will try and get to that soonish!
Mod
I read the Bookish Life - I quite enjoyed it, but I wasn't as blown away as some of the hype around it
Mod
I started Verity by Colleen Hoover. I had a few exams so I could not read it much. I just don't want to put it down. It's so interesting!
I started Dread Nation by Justina Ireland and I think it is going to be good because I am pretty excited about it and the premises sound really intriguing!
FINALLY got to City of Ghosts which Sneha picked for me.. "I loved it unsurprisingly! 5 stars :)
