Meet & Greet Challenge Round 2: Participants' thread
RULES/TIPS:* You must not recommend new books.
* You only select from the pickee's nominated shelf.
* You must nominate 3 books for each set of picks.
* Book nominations and selections do not need to be in any order.
* You can add/subtract books at any time during the sign-up and picking process. (If a book has already been recommended during the picks, this recommendation stands valid.)
* If you recommend a book from a series, please ensure that it is the next book for the reader in that series.
* You may put re-reads on your nominated picking shelf if desired. (This means the book may already be 'read' and rated - but if it is on that shelf, these books are fair game for the pickers.)
* You must have completed the picking for your group members by 28 January.
* You may use books planned for other challenges in this challenge and vice-verse unless otherwise specified in the alternate challenge(s).
* There is NO minimum page number requirement in this challenge.
* Books may be from any romance sub-genre, but we are a romance group so please keep your books on your nominated shelf to the romance genre.
* Remember - if your profile is private, you will need to 'friend' the other group members as they will not be able to access your nominated picking shelf otherwise.
* Feel free to 'friend' all the members of the group, as this will make picking much easier and faster :)
* A member can ask for repicks from another member if they have already selected all three of the nominated books. For this reason, it is important that members move books off their nominated picking shelf as soon as they have made their selection.
* If a book from a series is recommended but it is not the next book for the reader in that series, please feel free to substitute the appropriate book for that recommendation.
Please excuse me if I shortened your name! It was easier for my Excel sheet....*Also, there are multiple people with the same or similar names. I've differentiated it as best I can (last initial, different punctuations, etc). Please make sure you recognize your link to figure out your group.*

Woop! I'll be sending out my recommendations and picking from those recommended for me after I get some coffee!4/5
Group 4:
Donna-The Naughty Billionaire's Virgin Fiancee-finished Feb 10. 4 stars...cute story, makes you want to root for the H/h to succeed, wasn't what I expected but that's a good thing sometimes.
Gea-Duck!-finished February 28th. I typically enjoy Kim Dare but this one just didn't jump out at me like I hoped. Reynard turned me off early. Ori never grasped my attention. My favorite thing about the book...I was reminded of why I dislike crows so strongly.
Rachel-The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie-finised Feb 8...an interesting story, loved that it wasn't just a romance but there was a mystery too.
JoJo-Pretty Kitty-finished February 5. 5 stars...shapeshifters, sexy male, an underlying drama as well
So many awesome picks! Is it February 1 yet?
