The awesome blog that used to put all of the historical novel new release dates is no longer available, so I need your suggestions and help!Please post upcoming or new releases that you would like to see added to the monthly read list. I won't be able to choose all of the books, but I will choose ones that I best think fit the theme of our group. Since we mostly read historical and regency novels, those will be chosen first.

Please put the name of the book you would like to suggest in this thread and please include the release date too.

John Hennessy | 63 comments How about The Winter Bride by Anne Gracie or Let It Be Me by Kate Noble (I have read the latter and it is wonderful, the former I just received today!)

Susan (shaydock) | 727 comments My daughter and I went to a reading and book discussion on the Book of Life the third part of All Souls Trilogy written by Deborah Harkness. A highly clever well written series of books with engaging characters and time walkers. Read the first and you will be hooked.

One correction since I posted this list: Sarah MacLean's Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover releases November 25, so it counts as a December book.

Heard great things about LC, especially Vixen in Velvet. If I'm to start reading Miss Chase, I'll probably start there. Thanks for the info!

Yes John awesome books I loved the first two and am now starting the third. The added bonus is she weaves together science in Elizabeth I time and today. So cool plus the relationships are complex

Hi Susan. How very awesome. I've always thought Anne Rice was THE authority on witches, but this author looks very interesting to me. Probably going to be an October read, and a very welcome and timely one too!

Marita (bluestockingandproud) | 43 comments @John Yes you should definitely read Loretta Chase! Her Lord of Scoundrels is widely considered the best HR ever but I actually much preferred the book after it in her Scoundrels series, The Last Hellion. And Lord Perfect and Mr. Impossible from her Carsingtons series are pretty fantastic too. Mr. Impossible, in particular, has one of the funniest, most self-deprecating, self-effacing heroes I've ever read :) And I loved all three books in her Dressmakers series, especially Vixen in Velvet which had probably the sweetest, funniest secondary romance I've ever read!

@Kasey As for the monthly read suggestions I'd add the following:

September
The Laird by Grace Burrowes
Once More, My Darling Rogue by Lorraine Heath
How The Scoundrel Seduces by Sabrina Jeffries

October
Rules for a Proper Governess by Jennifer Ashley

December
In Bed with a Spy by Alyssa Alexander

Hi Marita

As Amazon have a great deal on Vixen in Velvet, that's the Loretta Chase book I'm having for September, as well as:-

Looking forward to September already, but I have six paperbacks (different genres) to complete in August!
