Lol, I find that what some of you think of as "not very creepy" creeps the hell out of a light weight like me, lol.

I will be reading two books in August that are on the list, so I am set. They are :

Bird Box
Ghost Story

Since I read a lot of thrillers, I have a few others planned that might fit the bill also.

I read Never Knowing and really liked it. Those Girls is the one that I have to read.

My hubby wants to know if you know what mountain that is.

I love Canada. I've been to western Canada a number of times, but have always wanted to visit eastern Canada. A trip to Nova Scotia to visit my friend Jen, Toronto to visit my friend Wendy, and PE Island to visit Anne of Green Gables are on my bucket list.

How did you like ..."

Which Chevy Stevens do you have on your wish list? I have read them all except the latest one, which I have on my TBR.

As for me, I am reading Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson for another challenge, so I think I will start with that. Although I have two Cathy Marie Buchanan books to read, the new Chevy Stevens book, and the Louise Penny series to read also.

If anyone is looking for something to read, here are a few suggestions from over the years. They are all 5 stars for me.

The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill (This used to be called Someone Knows My Name in the US, but I think they changed the name back after the mini series. Not sure. )

Rush Home Road by Lori Lansens

Still Missing by Chevy Stevens (I really like this author, but so far her first one is still my favorite)

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

Station Eleven is wonderful, Bea. I read it last year. I am on the 4th Louise Penny book, myself, so I will probably read that one.

It is a great book, isn't it, Lusie!

I've wanted to read that book for a long time. Enjoy!

Charity wrote: "I Just landed on U: Imagination -Ask a Librarian. Could someone pick 3 books for me?"

Somehow your request is missing, but here are your three choices Charity

Tess of the D'Urbervilles
East of Eden
Hickory Dickory Dock

Tien wrote: "Thanks, Lyn... could you please pick an additional book?

My goal for this round is to read 2 books per square so 4 choices would be better, thanks :)"

Sure, I totally did not read the whole post. Sorry. Here it is:

Legacy of Kings (This one looks very interesting. I might have to add it to my TBR, darn it!)

Tien wrote: "hello... I've landed on Imagination, could I please have 4 picks from my shelf? Ta!"

How about these three:

Murder at the Vicarage
The Lions of Lucerne
Death of Riley

Thank you.

I am anxious to see what you think of it, Coralie. You'll have to let me know.

AHH, I totally misunderstood what you were asking, lol. I see, you are thinking of help for those who own properties and don't want to lose them. That is a whole different kettle of fish....

Lusie wrote: "Thank you! I'm not sure yet which one I'll read. They all sound good."

Ohh, I have read all of them and they are all three really good, either 4 or 5 star reads. Have fun Lusie!

Amy wrote: "I like the idea of having others pick books for me, but some people spend more time online than others and can pick in a more timely manner. How about setting up pairs of people so everyone has a b..."

Dee has a point, Amy. The clock doesn't start until someone picks for you, not when you land on the square, so hopefully that will help a bit. Do you still see a problem?

Good points Dee.

Dee wrote: "my only maybe recommendation - i love the genre squares...maybe do similar to the trivial pursuit where different subgenres

so romance
1 - paranormal
2 - contemporary etc"

Cool idea, Dee. It would make it a bit more challenging for sure, but certainly fits in with our theme of basing things on shelves.
