Wow! It's been so long since I was the first one to see a request. Here are my choices for you:

Bellman and Black - 4 stars
Gone - 4 stars; a good reminder that I want to get back to the rest of this series
The Lost Symbol - 3 stars; but it's good to do something that progresses in a series
The Five Love Languages of Children- I haven't read this one, but his basic 5 Love Languages I found very helpful in understanding differences between what we instinctively offer the people we love and what they really want from us. I think this would be a great one for a parent of young kids to read.

Sorry, Tien. I have been traveling and just got to a computer today. You can select either Susan's picks or mine for your list of books.

My picks for you:
When Michael Met Mina - highest rated on your list
The Lions of Lucerne - newest on your list
A Sense Of The World - oldest on your list
A Farewell to Arms - classic work

(I am putting my list out there as I may not be back to the computer until tomorrow.)

BTW, you have two read books on your list.

Coralie | 1658 comments Thank you. I think I will go with Bloodchild and Other Stories because I am in the mood for some Science Fiction.

Oops. I've been behind for so long, I lost track of which thread I was reading. Oh, well -- it was fun looking through your books.

Sorry, Bea.

No problem Susan. I just got this property last month, so it is still new to me.

Notice to all...I should be home from travels tomorrow. Ed and I are on the road today.

I hope you like it. Margaret Atwood tells slightly disturbing stories. Of course, most dystopia stories are that way. :)

Marina (sonnenbarke) | 1513 comments Bea, I've read some of her books and liked/loved all of them, so I'm sure this one will be no exception :-)

Here are your picks, Coralie:

The Tiger's Wife - I rated a rare 5*
Still Life - I rated 4*
The Master Butchers Singing Club - recommended to me by friends

I hope one of these sparks your interest, Coralie.


message 24: by Coralie (new)
