Thanks, LaurLa - I like your creative ways of choosing picks :)

Hello, LaurLa!
I have just landed on "Small Great Things"
May I have 3 picks, please from
My Bookopoly Shelf

Thanks!

Thank you, Elvenn - I'm going to read Mariana!

Hi, Elvenn!
I have just landed on "Dark Matter"
May I have 3 picks, please from
My Bookopoly Shelf

Thanks!

Thanks, Tien.

Hi Tien,
Checking on kind of an unusual situation:

Referring back to message 80 in this thread on 2017-Dec-29, I requested confirmation for:

Love From Afar 1x: A Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson - page 23
Love From Afar
which you confirmed and added to the spreadsheet.

Turns out the Kindle edition which I am reading has a different title The Secret Countess, but when checking shelves, one still sees the shelves for "A Countess Below Stairs".

So, just making sure the book is still confirmed if I use it for Round 1, under the title "The Secret Countess"

(same book, just different title)

Thanks!

Thank you, Coralie, I will read A Countess Below Stairs (which I've recently found is the same book as The Secret Countess ) I bought it for Kindle earlier this week as "The Secret Countess" - so I may be updating which version I have listed on my shelves.

Hello, Coralie
I have just landed on "Mind of my Mind"
I hope you don't mind giving me 3 picks :)

from
My Bookopoly Shelf

Thanks!
