Oh no. Your picker didn't pick for you. So we get special people to pick for us ;) just to reward us being so patient

Not in re-picks, but next month you can sign up early and be included in the regular list. Then you will be picking for someone. In re-picks, we are just trying to get everyone some picks for various reasons and we can include late comers at this time as well.

Thanks, guys!! I don't feel THAT clueless anymore! :)

Yes for the buddy read! I have the book and it has to go back on the 15th so I will be reading it next week. Let me know if that's good for you. We can always chat about it whenever you can get to it.

1. April Fool's Day
Drive Me Crazy - so I haven't read this one (Buddy Read?) but it was on your shelf and her other books have made me laugh
How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf - I know you gave the other book you read by her only 2 stars - i found this one more entertaining and its a complete romance
Round Ireland with a Fridge - a few of us are Buddy reading this if you are interested
2. April Showers Bring May Flowers
The Mistress' House - there are daisy's on the cover and it was on your TBR
The Language of Flowers - this is prob. a bit out of your comfort zone, but several of my friends have given it good reviews
3. U.S. Tax Day
Prince of Dreams - its been a while since i've read this, but I remember money (or lack thereof) playing an important role
Vengeance in Death - Rourke, need I say more...
4. Major League Baseball Opening Day
Lady Gone Bad - US marshalls back in the day worked outside a bit right?
Rebel - I haven't read this one, but the first one was set almost all outside
5. April's Birthstone Diamond
This was the hardest category and I ended up giving you 2 new to you recommendations
Moonlight on Diamonds - it sounded intriguing
Hot Ice - old school Nora Roberts
6. Earth Day
Ill Wind - i figure ppl who can manipulate weather fall into the environmental category
Water - this looks intriguing, if you would like to BR
7. Patriot's Day
Embracing Silence - looked to be military-para-military-ish
Hidden Away - not on your shelves, but you gave the first book 4 stars and the second 3
8. Drop Everything and Read
Dark Currents - I loved her fantasy world in the Kushiel series, but this is something totally different
Forbidden - one of my 5 star reads last year
Sanctum - just finished this one and enjoyed it
hopefully, one of these works for you


Okay, I decided to start with Slammed today.
If I have time I will also read, Daisy's Back in Town, The Marriage Trap, and Judgement in Death.
