Congratulations, Sassafrass!

Your silent partner for this enterprise is Susan. Please PM her if you should be offline for more than 48 hours. Otherwise, she will also monitor and respond to requests if not responded to (sometimes real life can takeover), after 48 hours.

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 603 comments Hey ✼Danielle✼! You're my second visitor. Welcome to Snoopy's place!!!

Here are my picks for you. You've got some books some really high ratings on your shelf. I decided to pick from those winners.

The Weight of It All -- This sounds really sweet

Mischief and the Masters -- LOVE this series. Have to get back to it, I'm a bit behind

Oxygen Deprived -- you've seem to like the other two books in this series.

I hope one of these books works out for you. Enjoy!


✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) Great choices, thanks Sass!

I'm not sure yet which one I'll go with :)

message 10: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 603 comments Hi Amy, Happy New Year! Here are your picks...

Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Homegoing -- This one has a really high rating 4.41. I hear it's really good.

Blown Away by David Wiltse Blown Away -- This one has been on your TBR the longest (since March 12, 2013)

Bossypants by Tina Fey Bossypants -- at 549,379 ratings, this book has the most ratings of any on your shelf (I hear it's really funny).

Thanks for the speedy reply, Sass! The library is closed today so I'll make my choice tomorrow based on what's available. I'm leaning toward Bossypants.

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 603 comments Hi Angela,

I took a random sampling and here's what I came up with:

Mystic River by Dennis Lehane Mystic River

Portrait of a Spy (Gabriel Allon, #11) by Daniel Silva Portrait of a Spy

Villa Triste by Lucretia Grindle Villa Triste

enjoy!


message 16: by Angela (last edited Jan 10, 2017 09:26PM) (new)

Angela | 226 comments Thanks! I've been itching to read the new Daniel Silva, so I'll go with that one.

Thanks!"


Hi, Ashley! The honor is all mine. Here are my picks for you:

Me Before You (Me Before You, #1) by Jojo Moyes Me Before You -- very good book. Loved it on audio. Fair warning, be ready to cry. And if you saw the movie, the book is much better...deeper.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt The Secret History -- this sounds very interesting. And it has such polarizing reviews. It must really draw a reaction out of the people who read it. I'd be interested to see what side you're on.

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Cat's Cradle -- this is one of those classics that I keep saying that I need to read but haven't yet. I hope you enjoy it.


Ok, here are your picks. I hope one of these works. Enjoy!!!

Thank you! I'm all about the audiobooks and am just about to finish one so I'll take your recommendation of Me Before You.

Of course, I'll have to drop by when you're on a holiday, Sassafrass :) I hope you're enjoying your cruise!

If you're here before Sassafrass, Susan, could I have 3 picks from my shelf please?

Cheers!

Wow! You have almost no books on here that I've read. So I have to choose:
Street of a Thousand Blossoms, which, like all of Tsukiyama's works, I loved.
And then, ... hmmm ... I'll go for a couple first-in-series
Cassandra Clare's new one, Lady Midnight
and The Next Together, which I hadn't heard of, but find intriguing.


message 43: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9032 comments Mod
Thanks for the picks, Susan :) Am not sure which I'll go for yet so I think I'll see which I can fit in MM or Twist.

And errr, it's so weird to hear others say that they don't know many books on my shelf! You know how you always feel that you read the mainstream sort of books only to find out that you're not really...? lol


message 44: by Sassafrass (new)

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 603 comments Thanks, Susan!

Happy Reading, Tien. We had a beautiful day at sea today and after the hiking we did in Haiti I was so tired I spent most of the day dozing on the balcony, soaking up the sun.


message 45: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 9032 comments Mod
That sounds absolutely wonderful!

A little jelly here... despite our sun these 2 days as it's rather muggy (yuk!)

Well, one thing I've noticed is that you tend to learn about books I might be interested in before I do. So you might be reading mainstream, just getting to them sooner. I put a couple of the ones I spotted on your list on my "considering" (2nd-tier TBR) list.
