Pick It For Me!

[Eruwenn]

My to-read list is still filled with possibilities! Pick one for me?

[Lamilla]

@Eruwenn How about Just Stop Having Problems Stupid? Sounds like a fun read. Or Purple, if you need the second choice!

[Eruwenn]

Oooh, two suggestions! Off to read at least one of them right away!

[Eruwenn]

Darn my free time. Got through them both.

...Next?

[Helen]

Re Eruwenn
That's amazing!!! How about Island of Fog. It looks cool :)

[Eruwenn]

I'm a speedy reader. It's a blessing and a curse, sometimes. As for Island of Fog, sounds good to me! Thanks for the suggestion!

I finished Catch Me if You Can and She's Not There is pretty boring. So, can someone pick a new one for me? Shelf: tbr-books-i-own.

Thanks !

How about One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Seems appropriate for the month since this month contained banned books week

I was just eyeballing this one on the bookshelf! How serendipitous, thanks Janet! :)

Alison, thanks for the great pick! I've finished it and rated it 5 stars. I believe it might be love-it-or-hate-it book.

[Linda C]

Finished Room by Emma Donoghue gave it 5 stars. What an amazing book. Highly recommended.

Ready for another. Please select from my tbr-owned-top 30 shelf http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

That sounds good. I read this back in college and have been meaning to reread. Then picked it up at a book sale and put it at the top of my list.

[Eruwenn]

Hey guys, I'm back! (If you're wondering where I've been, I've been sucked into the timesink known as Minecraft.)

I could use another reading selection, though. As usual, anything and everything on my to-read shelf is open to be chosen for whatever reason you can think of!

How about some German! Der Goldene Topf (Illustrierte Ausgabe)

[Lamilla]

Pick a Book for Me

I need another read from my Pick it Up shelf.
Please pick a book and tell me why you chose it

[Alison]

Lamilla- what about Harry Potter? i just got some of the books and cant wait to read them.

[Varla Fiona]

I can't find a copy of the book picked for me Lullabies for Little Criminals) but I will keep looking a it looks fun.

I now have a serious challenge. I need to read a book about vampires, but I really hate all those I have tried. I don't want romantic sparkly vampire wannabes or serious horror. A super long book is also not ideal, as I don't want to have to prolong the torture. Any suggestions?

London, 1850 is a relatively short book featuring vampires; it's the first in a children's horror trilogy that I quite like. It's rather obscure, though, so you might not be able to find a copy.

As another option, Carmilla is a public domain vampire novella from the 1800's that you should be able to find free online. :)

Thanks for the suggestions. Carmilla is too short (150 page minimum) and I am not sure about the other one. I think I am going with Carpe Jugulum (as long as I am allowed a re-read!)

I still have to do the entire series of Parasol Protectorate for the challenge anyway (but they are bonus and can't count for any of the tasks)!! I love challenges so it will be fun anyway.

[Amara, Group Creator]

Ah, sorry my suggestions weren't more helpful!

[Melissa]

Please pick my next book to read for me. Please use either my TBR- Owned or TBR-kindle list for the book. Thank you.

That works for me! Thanks!

[Linda C]

Finished The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Read this years ago and had forgotten many of the details. Classic.
Ready for another. Please choose from this shelf http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Finished angela's ashes. I gave it four stars so I liked it. Can someone pick a new book for me from my owned in print shelf? Thanks!

[Janet]

How about Fahrenheit 451 since all the libraries are featuring banned books this month?

[Chelsi]

Sounds good Janet! Thanks!

General questions are more suited to the chatter thread or the off-topic folder. ;)

Finished The Clue in the Old Album (Nancy Drew, #24)
It was an interesting read for nostalgia. Gave it 3 stars.
How about another pick from http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Raven Black it is.

[Melissa]

I need some help picking 2 books, I need to read two classics before the end of the year. The problem is I have a hard time getting into the classics because of the writing style of some of them... I've tried The Picture of Dorian Gray and Gulliver's travels and my mind wandered and I couldn't stay focused on either one. I did read Tom Sawyer and Treasure Island and they were ok.

so, any suggestions? It doesn't have to be on my TBR-owned list if its pretty readily available in libraries.

So, pick it for me please? Any book, it just has to be considered a "classic" that is pretty easy to get into.

[Janet]

Melissa -

How about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn since you liked Tom Sawyer. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is another classic that is not difficult to get into.

How about The Graduate ? Pretty easy, short read and is considered a classic :)

[SteinFussel]

Please pick one for me!

I am open for almost anything. Just don't like vimpirous stories too well. Thank you! :)

How about Heidi,Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass, Fahrenheit 451, Little Women, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Time Machine. A little variety there!

[Alison]

Melissa- in going to be reading Frankenstein soon. we could read it together!

A book I recommend is Pride & Prejudice. I don't know if you have already read it but if you haven't, it's a good read.
