Yes, there's something wrong. I'm not going to pick for anyone until @Ezinwanyi fixes it. I don't think I'm supposed to pick for Carrie again anyway since I've already picked for her once before.

LaurLa | 3911 comments I think that the pairs were under a spoiler for a reason - I think Ezi put it there as a template for when she creates this month's pairs list because it s duplicate list from last month.

She hasn't actually posted that the pairs are up, so I think we all just jumped the gun a little.

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1078 comments Hi LaurLa! I'm excited I get to pick for you.

I haven't read any of the books on your dusty bookshelf, but I am going to go with Campaign (River City #7) by E. Ayers and Stud Finder (Big Rock #6.5) by Lauren Blakely because they are both rather high #s in the series count.

For your bonus I will give you two options: Shopping for a Billionaire (Shopping for a Billionaire, #1) by Julia Kent or The White Rabbit Chronicles Alice in Zombieland / Through the Zombie Glass / The Queen of Zombie Hearts (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1-3) by Gena Showalter (any book in this series)

For Diane ~Firefly~ I choose Fated (Alex Verus, #1) by Benedict Jacka because I love magic and it looks intriguing and Spells & Stitches (Sugar Maple, #4) by Barbara Bretton because I'm a knitter too and I love a good cosy mystery. For a bonus book, I chose Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1) by Leigh Bardugo , which is on both of our to-read lists. Enjoy!

Connie N. | 685 comments Deanne, I'm going with a books theme for you.

Here are my picks: The Librarian of Saint-Malo by Mario Escobar Reserved for Murder (Booklovers B&B Mysteries #2) by Victoria Gilbert Bonus: The Scarlet Pen (True Colors) by Jennifer Uhlarik

P.S. I love your idea of having a bonus "list" to choose from. It made it easier for me, and you'll know you're getting something that you really want to read.

Thanks for your historical romance picks for me, Wanda! I've already read your bonus: Vision in White and I agree that it's an excellent read.

For your regular picks, I went with Strange Girls Women in Horror Anthology by Azzurra Nox and The Girl of Hawthorn and Glass (The Girl of Hawthorn and Glass, #1) by Adan Jerreat-Poole . Your bonus pick was really tricky, though, because you have a messload of books that I absolutely adored on your to read list, but I finally settled on The Rust Maidens by Gwendolyn Kiste because it's a bit off the radar, but still so very good. ^_^
