We sit for hours looking through our TBR lists wondering when we will ever get to that one book we were dying to read when we added it 3 months ago or maybe even a year. As our piles get bigger we realize there is just not enough time in a day to read all the books that we wanted to read. So I had a great idea, pick 3 books from my TBR Pile and have you all pick which one I should read next. This is a monthly MEME and you are more than welcome to join me. Just create a blog post with your three books and link the post below. Need the full rules? No problem you can find them all right HERE. Don’t forget to stop by the blogs on the linky below to help the other bloggers by voting on their next read!
I thought we can keep up with each list with the hashtag #MyTBRL so add that to the end of your post so if you can’t get to the linky we can still find you 🙂
So this month I picked
A Stolen Kiss (Stolen Royals #1)
by Kelsey Keating
First Edition, 346 pages
Published March 1st 2016 by Swanifide Publishing
In her debut novel, Ms Keating takes us on an adventure journey filled with magical surprises.
A stolen kiss. An unstable curse. One big mess in the making.
Derric Harver never expected to amount to anything more than the palace stableboy, but when Princess Maria’s curse keeps her from accepting a prince’s proposal, she turns to him for help, and he doesn’t dare refuse.
With the help of a lady’s maid and a prince, Derric and Maria embark on a dangerous adventure to find the sorceress who cast the curse. Along the way they battle deadly creatures and make new friends–all the while struggling with the undeniable chemistry between them. Reaching their destination won’t be easy, but the true danger peril in the truths they’ve fought for years to keep hidden.
A Stolen Kiss is the first in the Stolen Royals Series–an adventure with magical creatures, dangerous lies, and being true to the power within.

What if playing video games was prepping you to solve an incredible real-world puzzle and locate a priceless treasure?
Twelve-year-old Ted Gerson has spent most of his summer playing video games. So when his great- uncle dies and bequeaths him all the so-called treasure in his overstuffed junk shop of an apartment, Ted explores it like it’s another level to beat. And to his shock, he finds that eccentric Great-Uncle Ted actually has set the place up like a real-life escape-the-room game!
Using his specially honed skills, Ted sets off to win the greatest game he’s ever played, with help from his friends Caleb and Isabel. Together they discover that Uncle Ted’s “treasure” might be exactly that—real gold and jewels found by a Japanese American unit that served in World War II. With each puzzle Ted and his friends solve, they get closer to unraveling the mystery—but someone dangerous is hot on their heels, and he’s not about to let them get away with the fortune.
Arena

Expected publication: April 5th 2016 by Ace
A fast-paced and gripping near-future science fiction debut about the gritty world of competitive gaming…
Every week, Kali Ling fights to the death on national TV.
She’s died hundreds of times. And it never gets easier…
The RAGE tournaments—the Virtual Gaming League’s elite competition where the best gamers in the world compete in a no-holds-barred fight to the digital death. Every bloody kill is broadcast to millions. Every player is a modern gladiator—leading a life of ultimate fame, responsible only for entertaining the masses.
And though their weapons and armor are digital, the pain is real.
Chosen to be the first female captain in RAGE tournament history, Kali Ling is at the top of the world—until one of her teammates overdoses. Now, she must confront the truth about the tournament. Because it is much more than a game—and even in the real world, not everything is as it seems.
The VGL hides dark secrets. And the only way to change the rules is to fight from the inside…

I voted for A Stolen Kiss. I am so behind on this feature. Haven’t even started last months book.
I voted for A Stolen Kiss.
This is a hard one! I am stuck between two. Maybe I should just do Eeny Meeny Minny Moe . . . 🙂 I hope you enjoy whichever wins, Michelle!
I am just glad you all get to pick this week and not me, I even had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to read.
Thanks for voting!
I chose Stolen Kisses, because I am in a fairy tale type mode. 🙂 I thought the others sounded good too.
Lol, That was the reason I grabbed it on Netgalley 🙂
It was a tough choice between A Stolen Kiss and Click Here to Start but aghh…. I had to choose A Stolen Kiss!
I love the synopsis for that one. Thanks for voting, Sarah! 🙂
I voted for Click Here To Start although Arena sounds good too. The cover of Click Here was the clincher for me. 🙂
It really does have a great cover! Thanks for voting, Greg!
I’m not a big video game person but the book sounds intriguing, so I voted for that one!
Thank you for voting, Vonnie! 🙂
I thought it was going to be Click Here to Start for me, but then I read the description for Arena and it just sounded way too exciting. Guess I like death and violence over treasure lol! Hope you enjoy whatever wins (but I hope Arena wins because I need to know if I should read it lol)
Lol I am looking forward to reading the Arena (if it wins) it looks like a good book. At least I am hoping so 🙂 Don’t worry I will let you know for sure if it’s good 🙂
Arena for sure. It was an easy vote for me.
LOL Thanks for voting, Bunnita! 🙂
Arena for me, but it was a tough call between that and Click Here to Start!
I had a feeling this was going to be very hard. 🙂
Thanks for voting, Shaunesay!
Oh that one had me at video games! 🙂 So I voted for Click to Start Here. 🙂
LOL, Thanks for voting, Stormi!
I voted for Click Here to Start as that cover and title and the video game sounds of it sounds fun! And the blurb sounds good too with the real life video game thing. I hope you’ll enjoy whichever wins!
I love the cover of this book it’s sort of like a MG version of Ready, Player One.
Thanks for voting, Lola! 🙂
I had a hard time picking between A Stolen Kiss and Arena. I think Arena sounds really exciting but I ended up going with A Stolen Kiss because of the last line in the synopsis about being true to the power within. 😀
I couldn’t find another “video game” book so I went with the 3 books I got rather recently instead. I loved the synopsis of A Stolen Kiss. I am excited to see which book wins 🙂
Thanks for voting Brandee!
Ooh. It’s a tie between Click Here to Start and Arena–both sound pretty awesome. I think I might have heard of Arena before, or something like it. Gonna close my eyes and do a random vote. Although Click Here to Start has more of an appeal since I like room escape games.
LOL I have a game I play that has chest you have to pick and I always close my eyes and pick 🙂
I like room escape games too, so does my daughter.
Thanks for voting, Ani 🙂
I went with Click to Start Here – sounds like fun!!
It does, I am also loving the cover of it!
Thanks for voting, Grace!
It was a tough one this month but I went for Arena. I want to read it now too!
I had a hard time picked which books I wanted to read because of my slump, I picked the 3 newest ones I had 🙂
Thanks for voting, Laura!
