Help Me Pick February 2011 Next Reads and Win A Book

I have these books scheduled for the next two weeks:
2/15 A New Birth of Freedom: The Visitor by Robert G. Pielke. Reviewing for blog tour.
2/17 The Big Show Stopper (A Pinky and the Bear mystery) by Ken Dalton. Reviewing for blog tour.

The Big Show Stopper (A Pinky and the Bear mystery)

2/23 Everyone Loves a Hero: ...and that's the problem by Marie Force. Author Interview and Review with Giveaway to be posted for Sourcebooks Casablanca.

But you can help me pick which books to read next from the unscheduled remaining Review books for February:

Sourcebooks:
The Werewolf Upstairs by Ashlyn Chase
My Love, My Enemy by Jan Speas
Moonstruck Madness by Laurie McBain

Hachette Fiction:
House Divided by Raul Ramos Y Sanchez
13, rue Thérèse: A Novel Elena Maudi Shapiro

Here's how this Giveaway works:

Make a comment picking the TWO books you want me to read next. I will read the book that gets the most votes, then probably (no guarantee) the book with the second most votes. (I reserve the right to pick the second read from the publisher other than the first pick.)
I will do a random draw to select TWO commenters.
US or Canadian winner will get their choice of a book from the February Love Books for Giveaway OR from the back review and ARC lists. (Scroll down at that post to see those lists.)
International winner will get $5.00 Gift Card, PayPal or Book Depository selection.

Ends February 17th at 10pm Central. (I won't have time to start anything before then I don't think.)

Winner of Help Me Pick the Next Read + Pick Again?

Thank you all for helping me pick the next read. The Queen of Last Hopes had nine votes so was a clear winner.

The Queen of Last Hopes: The Story of Margaret of Anjou

by Susan Higginbotham

Congratulations to BETH C who won the random drawing and gets to pick a book from the ARC or Review Book boxes as listed below.

Now I was wondering what you think? Should I then read the book that got the next highest votes or do you want me to open voting again and then pick another winner?? If at least ten people want to vote again to help pick the next book from the remaining reads I'll pick another winner next week.

I am currently reading and enjoying How to Marry a Duke by Vicky Dreiling for next week and also enjoying The Bricklayer's Helper by Amy Corwin for posting this month. The audio book came in so I am starting that too: Hell's Corner (The Camel Club) by David Baldacci.

HERE ARE THE REMAINING FOUR JANUARY BOOKS AVAILABLE TO VOTE FOR:

IN NO SET ORDER
None of these are multiple giveaways
but most will be ARC or individual book giveaways.

So help me pick the next read

and you can pick a book from the ARC box.

Hachette Mysteries/Thrillers:

Blood Prophecy by Stefan Petrucha
(paperback)

Coming Back (Sharon Mccone Mysteries)

(hardcover) by Marcia Mueller

Sourcebooks:

Kiss at Your Own Risk

Here's how this Giveaway works:

Make a comment picking the book you want me to read next. I will do a random draw and whichever commenter is drawn will get their choice of a book from my back review books and ARCs listed below.

This will be open until January 14th at 10PM as I should be ready for the next book by then.
