Awesome picks Sass!! I see several NEW ones I'll be adding t my TBR and hopefully getting to read at least one!
Hi Carrie,You chose { Historicals } for the prompt so I tried to stick to that or historical adjacent. Hope you find something good to read.
1. Billionaire Playboy
TBR:The Secret History of the Pink Carnation(wealthy character)
{ Napoleonic Wars } A lady writing her doctoral thesis investigates the secret histories of spies during the Napoleonic Wars; told in 2 time lines ~ as the series goes on it gets better & better!
#enemies to lovers #hidden identity #spies
New:Bitter Spirits(wealthy character)
{ 1920s } San Francisco, Bootleggers, Spirit mediums.
#mystery #paranormal #misfit
2. Damsel in Distress
TBR:The Eyre Affair(mystery)
{ Alternative 1980s } You had some other Fforde on your TBR & this is a really good one to start with. You also like Jane Eyre so I think you'll dig this one. Just a heads up- it is suuuppper British, so if you're not an Anglofile maybe pass it up.
#cloning #detective #fantasy
New:A Curious Beginning(mystery)
{ late Victorian } A lepidopterist uncovers plots with the assistance of a fellow explorer.
#slow burn #humor #travel
3. Pets/Special Animals
TBR:Murder of Crows(animals)
{ Alternative modern America } You liked Written in Blood & there is something really pleasant about reading this series on a wintry day.
#fantasy #shifters #magic
New:Leviathan(animals)
{ Alternative WWI } The Allies have gone down the road of genetic modification, especially when it comes to animals & the Central Powers have fully embraced mechanical technology. Two opponents encounter each other and adventure begins.
#young adult #hidden identity #whale zeppelins
4. Holidays & Celebrations
TBR:Attachments(white cover)
{ Y2K } You liked some other Rowell books ~ this one's cute & takes place at a newspaper.
#epistolary #hidden or mistaken identity #unrequited love
New:A Kiss For Midwinter(holiday)
{ Victorian } This is not the first in the series but works as a standalone. Nothing else on this list is holiday themed so gotta sneak this one in here. Also Milan is a really great author.
#enemies to lovers #unrequited love #reunion
5. Family &/Friends
TBR:The Dancing Master(2 people cover)
{ 1800s } I haven't read this one yet, but enjoyed some of Klassen's other books. It kinda looks like a historical "Footloose".
New:Tiffany Girl(yellow cover)
{ 1893 World's Fair } You liked It Happened At the Fair & had some other Gist on your TBR. The Tiffany (Glass) & jewelry company has a display at the Fair but the workers go on strike so the young women of the NY Art Institute step-up to the task.
#artists #boarding house #Chicago
6. Kiss-Ass Heroine

{ WWII } British female pilot & U.S. army medic.
#military #WWII #opposite attract
7. Friends/Enemies to Lovers
TBR:Radiance(friends to lovers)
{ Medieval-ish } Two nobles from rival kingdoms & species work to find common ground. I don't know why this one works, but it does.
#arranged marriage #enemies to lovers #fish out of water
New:Forever Yours(purple cover)
{ 1800s } This is a short one so if your busy it's a quick read.
#married #on the rocks #epistolary

TBR:Changeless(outdoor scene)
{ Alternative Victorian } You liked Soulless. Changeless takes place int Scotland.
#werewolves #grumpiness #steampunk
New:Promises to Keep(outdoor scene)

Happy December reading to you!
Hi Sassafrass, here are your picks - finally! I apologize for the wait, but not only did Thanksgiving start Wednesday night unexpectedly and not end until yesterday, but one of the guests kindly shared a stomach bug.Any who, I had to really search to find some new books for you, but I did it! It is always dangerous to venture into your shelves though! I also struggled not to give too many recs, you can see I didn't really succeed there. =P
Billionaire/Playboy:
NEW: The V Card by Lauren Blakely and Lili Valenti - Out soon!
TBR: The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata - Heard lots about this one!

TBR: True by Lauren Dohner - Interesting and certainly seems like suspense!

NEW: Croc and the Fox by Eve Langlais - for some easy reading during the holidays, or Lost and Found Sisters* by Jill Shalvis - if you are in the mood for a feel good read instead!

TBR: Show Me, Baby by Cherise Sinclair
Kick-Ass Heroine:
NEW: One King's Way by Samantha Young - I liked this one and loved the whole series!
TBR: Born in Death* by J.D. Robb - because I had to, or Raven Cursed by Faith Hunter from your preferred shelf.
Friends/Enemies to Lovers:
NEW: January Girl by Mari Carr - I haven't read these, but I want to!
TBR: Mack Daddy* by Penelope Ward - Loved!!
Cowboy:
NEW: Barely Breathing by Pamela Clare - So very good, but you could just go with the next I-Team book too because those audios are as fabulous as the books!
TBR: Hard Wood* by Lauren Blakely - Loved this one, and all the rest too!
I marked the ones I thought were especially good in audio with an asterisk.
I hope it was worth the wait!
Happy Reading and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hey everyone!We've only got a few sets of picks outstanding and still more than 24 hours until the cut-off so hopefully they'll come in. Just in case though, would anyone who will be available around cut-off time (6PM EST tomorrow) and willing to do repicks if necessary please let me know? I'd appreciate it...thanks! :-)
I can help with repicks if needed, KarenH :)
I should be home if you need another.
I can help with re-picks, too, if you need me.
