Polly's Low Octane List by Author

[Polly]

Here is my list so far. This is the first time I have ever started a topic on GR so I'm learning as I go.

A: The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen
B: Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman
C: A Land More Kind Than Home or The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Cash or Chabon
D: Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Dicks
That's all I have now. I have to look a little closer through my TBR lists

[April]

For a first timer, you did it like a pro! I'm glad you are joining the challenge!

Good start on your list, Polly! I heard that A Land More Kind Than Home is an excellent book. I have it on my wishlist.

[Polly]

C: Sworn to Silence
E: What Is the What
F: Saving Ruth: A Novel
G: Secret Daughter

[Janice, Moderator]

What did you think of Secret Daughter?

[Polly]

I will let you know when I read it! I'm on the letter C right now.

[Polly]

E: The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards
E has been really hard for some reason!

[Polly]

My next letter is F and when I went to the library today, I found this by Abby Frucht. This book has my name in the title and the authors last name starts with F. I think I was meant to read this book now!

[Janice, Moderator]

What a great find, Polly! It's definitely a must read for you.

F:Polly's Ghost. By Abby Frucht

[Janice, Moderator]

What did you think of it?

[Polly]

I just starting it but I was having a hard time with goodreads finding it and it wasn't listed on my alphabet bookshelf so I thought maybe I had to list it without the cover. I will let you know! Thanks for asking.

[Polly]

I'm giving up on . It doesn't keep my attention, it is very floaty and just not doing anything for me. I tried to read it because its on the challenge and it has my name but I don't think it's meant to be. On to another F author.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Hehe A floaty ghost.

Fair enough Polly, nothing worse than reading a book your not enjoying. Good luck finding another F author. Looking at my lists of F authors I enjoyed, the main one I can recommend is Jasper Fforde if you're looking for ideas :)

[Janice, Moderator]

Gotta look out for those floaty ghosts! I agree with Rusalka! Move it out and move on.

[Polly]

Thanks for the suggestions on Jasper Fforde. I added a few of his books to my TBR list. I'm leaving tomorrow for a week vacation of I'm going fluffy. Either any book by Dorthea Benton Frank or I checked today from the library. I want to be able to read this book on my flight there and back!

[Polly]

By the way, I'm really impressed with the response from the moderators. This is a big group and I would think its hard for the moderators to find the time to look at so many posts and respond. Thank you for your attention! Great job!

Thanks Polly! :)

:D

So, I thought I owned Secret Daughter but I can't find it. So I'm moving on to The Kitchen House which works for G. So far my lists have not worked out too well. I do better by picking the book when I come to the letter.

I don't think I've chosen book ahead of time for the challenge. When I have one in mind, I end up changing my mind by the time I get to it :)
