TNOTW is one of my favorites! The other two just looked interesting. ;)

[Tien]

Thanks, D.G.!

I think Odd One Out as its a Pursuit read :)

[Coralie]

[Lahni]

Ok, Coralie, my picks for you are:

Yes, I noticed the theme. It should help keep me cool for the next wave of hot weather.

I think I will go with Winter Holiday.

[Lahni]

I just landed on The Grapes of Wrath and would like 3 books selected please.

[Lahni]

I'm on Where the Wild Things Are and need 3 books chosen please.

[D.G.]

Lahni wrote: "I just landed on The Grapes of Wrath and would like 3 books selected please."

I'll pick for you, Lahni. BRB!

[Lahni]

Thanks D.G. my kids have been telling me to read The Maze Runner so I pick that one!

[Amy]

Lahni wrote: "I'm on Where the Wild Things Are and need 3 books chosen please."

Here are three for you, Lahni:

Time Will Tell
My Name Is Asher Lev
She's Come Undone

[Lahni]

Thanks Amy! Its tough to choose between those! I'm going to have to think abut it!

[Amy]

Lahni wrote: "Thanks Amy! Its tough to choose between those! I'm going to have to think abut it!"

The only one of those I've read is She's Come Undone which I liked. I picked Time Will Tell because of its high rating and My Name Is Asher Lev because it was written by the cousin of a childhood friend of mine. I'll be interested to see what you choose.

[Dee]

i remember liking My Name is Asher Lev when I read it in high school

[Lahni]

I've read and liked other Chaim Potok books but My Name Is Asher Lev is the hardest one for me to track down. I already have the others. I just need to see what mood I'm in when I finish up the ones I'm working on!

[Matt]

I landed on 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Can someone give me three books to choose from please?

Thanks!

[Dee]

sure thing - give me a couple

[Dee]

here you go:

Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal - no one does quirky non-fiction like mary roach (caution i wouldn't eat while reading)
Ready Player One - took me back to my childhood
1984

Thanks Dee!

I'm going with 1984 since I have it on Moving Mountains 2015 and Reader's Pursuit.

[Dee]

np! i'll admit i was surprised how much i liked both it and Brave New world when I read (listened) to them

[Coralie]

I have landed on The Sound and the Fury
Could someone pick me three books from my bookopoly shelf please?

[Marina]

Sure Coralie, give me a sec.

[Marina]

Here goes, Coralie. I have picked 3 books I have really loved, so hopefully you will find something you like, too.

The Stand
Dust
The Pit and the Pendulum

Happy reading and Happy New Year!

Thanks Marina. I think I will go with Dust.

[Marina]

Hi guys, I've just landed on The Great Gatsby, could someone please pick 3 books for me?

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Thanks and Happy New Year!

[D.G.]

I can Marina! Give me a few minutes...

[D.G.]

Marina - Here are your picks! For some reason, all the books I picked for you have some sort of humor...:)

- Funny but so right at the same time.
- Have read other books by this author and I laughed a lot so I figured this would be the same
- This is probably my second favorite Austen book. Her most lighthearted novel so I don't think it gets all the respect it should, I totally loved how she made fun of the whole Gothic genre!

Enjoy and have a wonderful new year!

D.G.

That's good, D.G., I really need to start the new year with some humor!

I think I'll read Northanger Abbey, thanks for your picks! And Happy New Year, too!

[Amy]

Hi Amy, here's my 3 picks for you:

The Trial - a beautiful book
The Brain's Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity - sounds very interesting

[Tien]

I just want to acknowledge everyone who's participating in Bookopoly & are responding to requests so promptly! I'm so glad to see that this challenge can run pretty much independently with such proactive participants :D

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Just an FYI - Catcher in the Rye is now an owned property. Congrats to Charity! Please see the Owned Property links to request a book for this spot on the board.

And, I would like to echo Tien's comments in the post above. You all are great.

Lastly, I promise to have the closed request list updated by tomorrow.
