I will do so when I can, so be please be patient if I don't respond right away once pairs are posted.

Thank you Oleander and Erica for checking on me. And yes, I am home with my 10 year old who tested positive for this damn Covid -19 virus. He's had fever, sore throat etc. I am angry because we do wear masks and have been so careful but I knew going back to school after a year of virtual learning was going have its challenges. Today is his first day without a fever but he is also taking children's motrin and tylenol especially for his headaches.
Once his sore throat and headaches cease, I will ween him off the medicine.

Everyone please try to be as safe as you can be. Especially watch out for your children. It's hard when they want hugs but you aren't supposed to have physical contact during the 10-day quarantine :(

sending hug and healthy vibes your way Ezi!

hi Oleander...for September try to finish up...Kitty Norville and Mercy Thomson...enjoy and I'm sending hugs and healthy vibes your way also...I hope your mom is feeling better soon!

Laurla, I'm choosing Rose Gardner and Once Upon a Wedding for you -- happy reading!

Ezinwanyi,
My choices for you are:
MIDNIGHT BREED SERIES
and
WEDDING DATE

They seem different enough to give you variety and I see you’re already working on these series.

❣️

So glad that your household is on the mend, Ezi. And, Oleander, here's hoping your mom will be back on her feet soon!

Karen ♐, I pick In Death (of course) and Steel Brothers for you.

Shelly,

I pick The Vampire Knitting Club because with a name like that I can't not. I also pick Cat in the Stacks.

Danielle I chose for you Cold Case Psychic by Pandora Pine (looks like great fun) and Guild Codex Universe by Annette Marie (I’ve been told that it is amazing and I have to read so passing on the love). I hope you enjoy them :)

Good luck Ezi! Covid sucks, I hope he feels better soon and a great excuse to treat him with lots of squash and ice pops (the juice ones as they help with temperatures and fluids). Fingers crossed for you guys xx

Jennifer, I'll pick for you Lowcountry and Maine Clambake as they both sound summery and before we know it summer will be over!

Theo!! I pick for you....


The Immortal Empire by Kate Locke (finish!)
and
Pepper Martin by Casey Daniels (get hustling!)

Ezi, I know you're busy, but you forgot to choose for me. Post #5.

Hey Danielle I just noticed you had the same two series last month let me know if you wanna change up am happy to choose again. :P

Connie N. wrote: "Ezi, I know you're busy, but you forgot to choose for me. Post #5."

If you'd like, I'll pick for you, Connie. In the DB thread, I thought it said that Ezi had a family emergency. Just let me know.

Thank you for the good wishes KATHY D. Great choices. Almost done with Mercy and closing in on Kitty.

For you I pick Badge of Honor and Master and Mercenaries. Enjoy.

Ezi, so sorry your son is sick and hoping he will recover quickly. Also hoping the rest of your family doesn't come down the ever-so-annoying covid bug.
Thank you for the good vibes, Connie. No improvement yet, but I'm hopeful..

thanks Orleander! enjoy your books!
