Here's a suggestion to narrow down the selection - why don't we try a month where all the books are by authors that have never been picked for a circle book before? If we do that we'll narrow down the choices a bunch, but still leave plenty of books that people have showed an interest in previously.

That is a good idea - something new for the new year! (I know it is for February... :unsure: )

OK, so what do we want to include? I am only seeing four new authors on the list, if you count Elizabeth Jennings who is Lisa Marie Rice (or Lisa Marie Rice is Elizabeth Jennings :unsure: )

I'm seeing 3 (4 if you count Elizabeth Jennings) that have never been a Contemporary choice in the Previous Vote Getter section, but there are several more in the No New Votes section. There are 2 (Erin McCarthy and Elizabeth Lowell) that have been choices in another genre, but not contemp. My suggestion would be to leave those 2 off (just to shorten the list). That would leave us with:

Robyn Carr
Susan Mallery

and then pick another 2 or 3 from:

Suzanne Brockman
Toni Blake
Karen Robards
Marliss Melton
Mary Margret Daughtridge
Suzanne Enoch

BTW - Marliss Melton (Forget Me Not) is on the No New Votes list twice. :)

I bet it has been voted on twice then. :unsure: Especially since I have it listed differently. :blink: Must have snuck by me! :o

Just name what you want and you will get it! :) Within reason of course! ;)

You had to go and bring that up, didn't you! :( Oh, well, the writing's been on the wall long enough that I'm pretty much over it by now - at least I have a good second choice to root for! PomPom2

As for what books I want, how about this - the only one I really would rather not see on the list is One Summer by Karen Robards. I don't have it, and it's not available as an ebook (yes, I've gotten spoiled - if I have to buy a book, I'd much rather it be an ebook). All of the others (including the other Karen Robards - Guilty) I either have already or can get the ebook (I didn't spend quite all my micropay money at Fictionwise during their sale ;) ). The other thing is for the Susan Mallery book I would recommend Delicious over Under Her Skin. Both are the first book in a series and I enjoyed both, but the Lone Star Sisters series is VERY interconnected, and Under Her Skin leaves a lot of fairly significant threads of storyline hanging that are cleaned up in the later books of the series.

Beyond those two suggestions, I'm up for anything! :)
