On my TBR I have Joyce Carol Oates (We Were the Mulvaneys), Téa Obreht (The Tiger's Wife), Robin Oliveira (My Name is Mary Sutter), Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall, Delirium), Julie Orringer (The Invisible Bridge).

Hope one of those can help you! :)

I got a K :(, and roll a 4 & 5
4. Female Author (first, middle, or last name; no initials)
5. Male Character Name

Help please!!!!, I got some ideas for 4, but need a Male Character, a one book option is more that welcome. No paranormal nor dystopia.

One that came to mind immediately was Mr. Knightley from Emma. If you're a Jane Austen fan, though, you've probably already read it!

[Penny]

Yes I've read it, no plans of a reread for now.

The only ones I could come up with were:
Kim by Rudyard Kipling
Kade by Delores Fossen
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
The Ministry of Special Cases by Nathan Englander

[Sarah]

I got an F, blergh, and rolled options 1 & 5. Appreciate any suggestions, especially one book options!

Partially in answer to Sarah's question, and partially as a question of my own...

can autobiographies be used? Like if she read Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt is the author, but he's also the main character since it is a biography. Would that work? (Ignoring the page count in this case, since I'm pretty sure that book is too short).

[Dee]

Yes you can - no restrictions on fiction/non-fiction

[Kathy G.]

I googled an alternate generator that worked, but thanks so much!!!!

[Kristine]

Would The Crystal Cave work for #'s 4 and 6 and letter "s" as a one book option?
Please and thank you :)

[Dee]

yep - it would

[Vi]

I love the task, Dee!

I rolled a 2 & a 4 with letter L. I was about to re-read The Shadow and the Star (female lead & female author) but I've postponed to June. It fits 1 book option with 464 pages.

[Dee]

Nice Vi ;) - rumor has it Shadow and the Star will be out in audiobook sometime this year

[Fiona (Titch)]

Derailed - Alyssa Rose Ivy


My letter is I and I rolled a 4 and a 2.

Need to find an female character in my books that begins I lol

[Dee]

Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage if you like historical romance

[Fiona (Titch)]

Can I read New Moon as it has Isabella or is she known as Bella?

[Dee]

I'm guessing she is Bella - but I haven't read it to say for sure

[Fiona (Titch)]

That's fine x

[Donna Jo]

I'd like to read Regency Buck for my male character P. The character is Peregrine Taverner, who is not the lead, but he's more than a secondary character. The plot revolves around threats against his life as he's ready to come of age. (Well, there's also the love story between his sister and his guardian.)

[Dee]

That sounds good - I've read and remember him playing a sig. Role

[Donna Jo]

Thanks. It's a reread for me. I love her books.
