Hi Sole! nice to meet you :D I'm going to be reading the book: The Heart Goes Last from your read list, I hope you can find something in my list that is to your taste - it's rather limited I'm afraid :[
Hadia, may I add you as a friend so I can see your books? :)
Hey Lisa!We got paired!
I sent you a friend request and can't wait to choose a book!
Hey Claire ! I will be reading The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) from your reading list , I really hope you find some good book in my read list too .Claire's rating : 5 stars
My rating : 4 stars

So nice to meet you! You have several books I'm considering. If I were to dip my toe into Pratchett (whom I've heard about but never read), what one book would you recommend as a good beginning?
Hi, Pradnya!I'm going to be reading Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief, from your 'read' shelf. I hope you can find something to your liking from my list— I think you will be able to :)
Hii Mion, it seems we got paired. I've already rummaged in your read shelf and have decided to read The Lover's Dictionary. Hopefully you'll find something akin to your taste in my shelf :)) looking forward to hearing from you
Hi Alex! I am excited to choose A Monster Calls from your read list! I love Patrick Ness and have wanted to read this for a while now! Your rating is 5* for this book. I used the 'compare' books link to find books that you'd read/rated highly that were on my 'to-read' list :) I hope you will find something interesting from my shelf too! Happy reading!
Hey Theresa! I decided I'm gonna read the Martian! I just ordered it and it will be delivered to my house by next week! Can't wait to see which book you chose!
Hi Lisa!!!Oooh great choice, Terry Pratchett is possibly my favorite author. Well, if you want to get started on discworld and don't mind being sucked into a super-long and amazing series, then start with The Color of Magic. If you're looking for a stand-alone novel, try Nation (which is one of my personal favorites)
Well, I started looking through your bookshelves and wow do you have a lot of books. I'm not sure where to start. Got any suggestions for me?

Happy Reading,
Penny
Luaya wrote: Got any suggestions for me?Well I can be a bit nerdy about lists, and I've used Goodreads to help me reconstruct my reading throughout my life (and my grandson is exactly your age). Hence the number of books -- plus I have even more on my "want to read" list. I shall never die, right?!
You have All the Light We Cannot See on your to-read list, which is one I've read.
Also, I've started creating some shelves for books, so you might check out the Mystery, SF/Fantasy, Young Adult and Collin shelves (Collin is my grandson and I've tagged some of the books we've enjoyed together.) The Phantom Tollbooth is sheer delight -- we chuckled through it (it features a reluctant hero drawn into an alternate world. The wordplay is a highlight).
There are a lot of 4-5 star classics on my list. Feel free to ask anything, here or through a message. Cheers!

I actually checked out three from your 'read' shelf because they sounded really good (and there are more I want to get!), so the question isn't which one I'm going to read, but which one gets read FIRST. I'm thinking I'll start with either An Accidental Woman or Firewall, though.
Thanks!!!I'll look some more and let you know.
I'm really glad to be paired with someone with such an amazing bookshelf; it gives me so many choices!
