Make Me Read It: Books I got for free edition
I think it’s time to do another poll where you get to tell me which book from my shelves to read next. I’ve found these posts extremely helpful in getting me to pull down those longtime shelf-standers, and have had some lovely reads as a result.
This time, I want you to choose from books that I got for free — whether from a blog giveaway or a little free library, or as a review copy I’ve shamefully neglected. Though I didn’t pay for them, that doesn’t decrease their value, nor the reason I should have for reading them. Please help give me the push to do that with at least one of them!

The True Heart by Sylvia Townsend Warner – this was thanks to A Gallimaufry and a STW reading week giveaway Warner is a wonderful writer and I love the sound of this novel, but I still have not gotten around to it.
A Year of Reading the World by Ann Morgan – And this is thanks to Emma of Words and Peace and her 10 year blogoversary giveaway. If it was one of Emma’s favorite books from her years of blogging, I’m sure it’s terrific.
The Feeling of What Happens by Antonio Damasio, Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander, and The Intimacy Factor by Pia Mellody – these three were picked up at the free book booth I frequent when I’m in the town of Biel. All are nonfiction about psychological topics that interest me.
The World of Fairy Tales by Daniel Udo de Hayes – I worked on editing the translation of another book by this author and I offered to review this one, then I never got to it for unknown reasons. I love fairy tales and I’m sure it’s fascinating. I should really read it and finally give it a proper review!
Which would you choose? You can tell me your thoughts in the comments about more than one book, but in the poll you have to choose one. (Otherwise it gets too confusing.)
