Avid, I pick “league of extraordinary women” and “out of uniform” for you. Enjoy!

Vamp Amber,
Glory St. Clair and The Cousins O'Dwyer are my picks for you this month. Enjoy! I read the first Glory book several years ago and I remember I liked it. I need to get back to that series sometime. I remember a really smart dog, that is possibly not a dog.

Connie

I pick Cold Fury Hockey and One Left in Series for you.

For LaurLa

Option A pick two series:
Love of My Life
Moreno Brothers

Ezi, I'm choosing Option A for you with 50 Loving States and Voyeur series. Hope you enjoy.

Theo,

For you I'm picking The Selection because I've heard good things about this series and Alpha & Omega because I'm a Patricia Briggs fan.

Thanks! It works out perfect with my DBS picks! LOL

Suzanne I choose Option A and

Karen ♐,

I'll choose In Death and Bridgertons because I've read the first book in both of those series.

Connie N. wrote: "Theo,

Thanks Connie! I've read the first book in both series, so I should definitely get back to them.

Thanks for the picks. I have both second books on reserve at the library right now, so I should be able to start them in a few days. And it's been forever since I read the first Gory St. Clair book, too, but I think he was a shifter maybe? Some kind of magic-y thing that wasn't a dog, that much I remember, cuz he had telepathy with her. Guess I'll find out for myself soon. ^_^

Susan A wrote: "Susan A's FWYS January 2021"

I wasn't expecting another abo fan (I write abo fanfiction, which means I'm probably pretty fond of the trope), so of course I had to pick Hobson Hills Omegas for your first series, and to go in the opposite direction, I chose Sons of the Marquess for your other series. Hope you enjoy them. ^_^

Jennifer! I pick for you


One series with a few books to keep you motivated to finish
Mistresses of Versailles

And one with several left to give you motivation to keep going!
Daisy Dalrymple - I've read the first couple... it's kind of interesting to see 'contemporary' life in England in the 1920's.

Susan A wrote: "For LaurLa

Thanks Susan! I'm close on these - maybe I'll finish!!

Karen ♐ wrote: "Ezi, I'm choosing Option A for you with 50 Loving States and Voyeur series. Hope you enjoy."

Yay. Those are those two I wanted the most

Jammin Jenny...I am going with Option B...Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter...hopefully you can knock a few out in February! =)

Avid Reader and Geek Girl wrote: "☘KathyD☘ i pick option B and Boudreaux, Kristen Proby for the series, hopefully, you'll be able to finish the series this month!"

Thanks, Theo. I'm loving both of those series.

Thanks Kathy! I've got at least the next two sitting on my physical bookshelf...

Oleander - I'm sorry I'm so slow!

I pick for you: Mercy Thomson and Moon.

Have a wonderful February!

Thank you Suzanne. Great picks. Hope your February is warm and cozy as well.

Excellent contrast of picks -- the reckless 1920s vs the staid 1770s-- Thank you!

Is there anyone without a pick?

Finished three from my first series (and finished the series): and two so far from my second series: --thank you, Laurla!

Vamp Amber

I finished the Sons of the Marquess series by Mary Kingswood. I enjoyed this eries and would consider other works by this author.

I read two more books from the Hobson Hills series...I'm not as happy with this series. I enjoyed books 1 and 2 in this series but books 3-6, the plots are too similiar with the main difference being each one is little crazier that the previous.

Thanks for picking for me!

What a satisfying month! I was able to finish off several series and almost-finish another. Thanks for the great picks, Danielle Gypsy Soul!
