My To-Be Read List is a meme hosted by Because Reading is Better Than Real Life where at the beginning of the month visitors can choose which book I’ll be reading this month. On the first saturday of a month the poll will be up, then on the second saturday of the month I’ll announce the book that won and on the last saturday of the month I’ll post my review of the book.
Okay below are are the 3 books on which you can vote this month, all 3 are 3 random books on my to-read that looked good to me at that moment. one is Young Adult, one is New Adult and one is Adult. Two are contemporary romances and one of them is paranormal. So all pretty different. Oh I own all of these as e-books and they are the first book in a series that’s something they have in common.
Simply Irresistible (Lucky Harbor #1)
by Jill Shalvis
Find Simply Irresistible on Goodreads
Blurb:Maddie Moore’s whole life needs a makeover.
In one fell swoop, Maddie loses her boyfriend (her decision) and her job (so not her decision). But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother—a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington.
Starting over won’t be easy. Yet Maddie sees the potential for a new home and a new career—if only she can convince her two half-sisters to join her in the adventure. But convincing Tara and Chloe will be difficult because the inn needs a big makeover too.
The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes—and mouth—are making it hard for her to remember that she’s sworn off men. Even harder will be Maddie’s struggles to overcome the past, though she’s about to discover that there’s no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor.
The Year We Fell Down (The Ivy Years #1)

Blurb:
The sport she loves is out of reach. The boy she loves has someone else.What now?
She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead.
Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. He’s way out of Corey’s league.
Also, he’s taken.
Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the “gimp ghetto” of McHerrin Hall. Over tequila, perilously balanced dining hall trays, and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands.
They’re just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together. All Corey knows is that she’s falling. Hard.
But will Hartley set aside his trophy girl to love someone as broken as Corey? If he won’t, she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harkness — one which does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play, or the brown-eyed boy who’s afraid to love her back.

Nice selection this month, Lola! I voted for Simply Irresistible, because Lucky Harbor is one of my favorite contemporary romance series 🙂

I voted for True Colors cause I liked the cover…lol. 🙂
It’s the best cover of the three in my opinion, I really like the cover 🙂
I know you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover…but True Colors it is!
I do the same, half the reason I bought the book was for the cover and the blurb sounds pretty good too!
Kaaay! I totally voted for True Colors just for the mere fact that the over is downright gorgeous! Haha, hope you won’t call me shallow XP Hopefully you get to pick an amazing book!!
I think part of the reason I bought that book was because of the pretty cover ;). Ofcourse the blurb sounds pretty interesting as well, but that cover certainly helped too.
I voted for Simply Irresistable…I have been meaning to read Jill Shavis…so I am interested in what you think of that one.
I’ve been meaning to pick up one of her books for a long time as well. I heard great things about her books, but for some reason I just don’t get aroudn to reading it.
I am not going to lie, I based my pick completely on the cover 🙂
True Color is a gorgeous cover and I hope it wins and you love it!!
I agree the cover for True Color is gorgeous! I mainly bought it as the cover looked great and the blurb sounded really interesting.
Now that’s a tough decision b/c they all sound good. I went for the NA b/c I got it as a freebie and I’d like to know if its any good. 😉
I also got it as a freebie, although it’s been on my to-read list for a while, it sounds like a great series!
Well I have The Year We Fell Down on my nook but I really liking the cover of True Colors. So I went with True Colors. *shrug shoulders – it’s just pretty summary wasn’t bad though

The covers are gorgeous especially of True Colors, the concept sounds intriguing as well – I voted for that one 🙂 Regardless of what the winner is, I look forward to reading your review soon. Great picks Lola!
I agree the cover of True Colors is really gorgeous and combined with the intriguing blurb it’s a shame I haven’t read it yet.
True Colors because look at that beautiful cover! I think I might actually have picked it up at some point because of the pretty cover too – so now I’m hoping to find out if it’s good and I should dig it out 🙂
I think it was free for some time? I got it for my ipad as well, even though I already bought a copy for my Kobo. That cover is so pretty, I helped with the cover reveal a long time ago and grabbed the book as soon as it was released.
Oooo! Jill Shalvis is the BEST! That’s one of my my all time favorite series 😀
I have two of her books now and really think I should finally read one of her books, I heard so many good things about her books. I actually think you were the one to recommend her books to me if I remember correctly.
Ah man, I’m totally torn between Simply Irresistible and True Colors, both look really good. How will you ever choose?!?!
