Rosemary | 946 comments Back already, Ed? My goodness! You must be a big fan of angel cake!

Here are three more choices, and this time I went for the three lowest rated to make sure they would be different ones from last time. I hope you like them more than the average Goodreads reader!

Hell-Bent Fer Heaven A Play in Three Acts by Hatcher Hughes Hell-Bent fer Heaven
Icebound by Owen Gould Davis Icebound
Three Cheers for Lucia! A New Mapp and Lucia Novel by MR Ian Shepherd Three Cheers for Lucia!: A New Mapp and Lucia Novel

Gillian | 151 comments Hi Rosemary,

Back again! I like to call in here on every circuit of the board it seems :)

I'm about to do some travelling so slightly shorter list than normal - geared towards my kindle.

Could I have three picks from My Travel Bookopoly Shelf please?


message 76: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary | 946 comments Sure, Gillian. Good to see you again :)

Here are the two longest on your shelf, and the only one on your list that I've read myself:

The Secrets of the Wild Wood by Tonke Dragt The Secrets of the Wild Wood
The Honest Truth by Dan Gemeinhart The Honest Truth
The Tulip Touch by Anne Fine The Tulip Touch

Enjoy!

Ed Lehman | 417 comments Hi Rosemary...landed on your spot...could you provide three picks from my very small bookopoly shelf please?

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


message 78: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary | 946 comments LOL it's even smaller than mine! Here are your picks:

LOL.... yeah.... I have mostly books that I'm reading for the Reading with Style challenges....and I don't have many left. A new season begin September 1...then I will have 30 new books on my shelf.

I'll go with Love's Work...thanks!


message 80: by Ed (new)

Ed Lehman | 417 comments Hi Rosemary...I'm back....and my shelf hasn't gotten too much larger because Reading with Style's sub-challenge requires that certain books be read in order if one wants to get bonus points. So, could I have three picks please?

Wow, that was quick! Thanks. I was debating whether to do The Silkworm for sequels this month, because it's so huge. But I'll go for it, since you recommend it.
