[Debra]

Missy,

I have decided to read Dorothy Must Die

[Amber M.]

Hello, Pradnya!

I think I'll probably be reading Love in the Time of Cholera from your shelf, since someone recommended that to me just last week - must be a sign! And I'll probably throw in Animal Farm as well, since I've been meaning to read that forever, and it's too short to count as a choice by itself ;)

[steph]

Hello Jadine,
as of right now I think I will read A Christmas Carol from your shelf.
Changes possible ;)

Hi Debra, that is a great choice. I have decided to read The Lovely Bones. I have always wanted to read it so Im really excided. I will let you know how it goes!!!

[Anne ✨]

Hi Christi!

You have such an interesting bookshelf, I really enjoyed exploring it, and happily discovered some 'new to me' books to add to my TBR! I requested the following two from the library, I'll read whichever comes in first, or maybe even both if time permits :)
The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

I hope you'll find something of interest from my shelf too.
happy reading!

[Christi]

Hello Anne!

These choices are very good, particularly the Reyna Grande. I hope you enjoy! As for me I am having trouble deciding so I've requested The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Everything I never Told You, and Landline from the library. I suppose my choice will also have something to do with whichever book comes in first. Happy reading!

All good options.. whichever book comes in for you. I just received the Reyna Grande, so will begin reading it this weekend :)

Happy reading!

[Missy]

Hi Debra! I finished The Lovely Bones it was ok. It was way better than the movie but I still only gave it a 3 star rating. I have you are enjoying Dorothy Must Die. Let me know what you think! :)

[Annie]

Hi Yuna,

I just had a look at your shelf and decided to go with Star Girl :)
If you need any help deciding on a book from my shelf just let me know.

Happy Reading!

Hey Steph! Sorry for the late response! I have decided to read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas from your shelf! I've been wanting to read this for a while and have not watched the movie because I wanted to read the book first. I hope you enjoy your pick from my shelf, and I know I will not be able to put down my pick!

You have an impressive list and there are just too many books I want to read from there. But I had to read this one, So I choose
QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter..."

I just finished reading the book and gave it 5 stars.I love Feynman's lectures. He has a knack for explaining complex mathematical concepts in simple language. I enjoyed this book a lot."

Yep, his genius is impressively accessible! Glad you enjoyed :)

I've already read my "extra", Animal Farm, and gave it 4 stars. But just started Love in the Time of Cholera!

[Jadine]

Steph! So I read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas from your shelf and I finished last night. I cried so much, and I rated it 5 Stars as did you! I hope you’re enjoying whatever book you chose from my shelf!

Hi Christi, Happy New Year! I now have both the books from the library, and have the pleasure of choosing or reading both! I'm sorry I'm delayed, but I'm excited to read them this month! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and got lots of reading in! I got way less reading time than I thought I might get, but enjoyed time with my kids!
