[Marina]

Hi Rosemary!

I landed on your property, could you please give me three choices from my shelf? https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

[Rosemary]

Welcome Marina, my first visitor :)

Here's what I pick for you. I made them 3 very different ones :)
The Possessed
Phaedrus
The Mysterious Affair at Styles

I hope you like whichever one you pick!

[Marina]

Thanks, Rosemary, great choices! I'll probably go with Phaedrus.

[Elvenn]

Hello, Rosemary! Would you pick three books for me? Thanks! :)

Here's my shelf: Elvenn's Shelf

[Rosemary]

Welcome, Elvenn! Here are my picks for you:

Memoirs of Hadrian - one of the highest rated on your shelf
The Shining - one of the ones with the most ratings on your shelf
Daddy-Long-Legs - one I liked when I read it as a teenager, and a big favourite of my mother's!

I hope you find one you enjoy :)

[Elvenn]

Thanks! Very interesting choices, so different but all equally tempting :)

I think I'll read Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster. It's been in my tbr for ages and your comments made me want to start it right now...

Also, it seems to go better with the surrounding Christmas mood than the other two!

[Marie (UK)]

please could you pick 3 for me

[Rosemary]

Hello Marie! It is busy here today. I am very happy the Beagle Scouts are so popular :)

Here are my picks for you:

The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy - haven't read this but enjoyed Harold Fry

Suite Française - one I loved

Fried Ants and Yorkshire Pudding - because what a title!

[Coralie]

Hi Rosemary, I have landed on your beautiful property and would like three choices from my bookopoly shelf.

[Rosemary]

Hi Coralie! Great to see you :)

Here are my picks for you:
Suite Française - because I loved this one
Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd - because I've heard good things about this one
Saga, Volume 3 - because the first two came in at our charity shop last week and I thought they looked intriguing

Hope you enjoy your choice!

[Coralie]

Thanks Rosemary. It's good to see so many old friends here in my favourite group. I think I will go with Suite Française .

[Cathie]

Hi Rosemary

I'm new here and just starting out; this is my first challenge with the group and your property is the first one I landed on :-). I brought a box of Tim Horton donuts and a big urn of hot chocoate to keep the Beagle Scouts going ~ Please pick 3 books for me :-) Thanks.

[Rosemary]

Thank you, Cathie! Those donuts were delicious :)
We shared them, of course. I did not eat them all myself. Truly.

Here are your picks:

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - I LOVED this book!
Watership Down - another one that's heartbreaking in places but very sweet, in a different way
Behind the Moon - only has one rating, so it must need readers!

I hope you enjoy the one you choose!

[Cathie]

You, Rosemary, are a very tough troop leader; I want to read all three! Seriously :-). I will come back and let you know which one I pick once I've made up my mind (which may be awhile because I think I misplaced it while out hiking with your troop).

Thank you for 3 great picks!

[Rosemary]

LOL re misplaced mind :)

I have the same trouble with my bookopoly shelf. I want to read everything on it - NOW!

[Angela]

I forgot to come back and pick my book (I got lost on the trails).

I'm going to go with [book:Behind the Moon because like you said, it needs more readers. (I also am pretty sure I will get those other books picked for me somewhere else down the line and Behind the Moon might not be chosen again).

Again, thanks for the great picks Troop Leader :-)
