[Mell]

Hi Lusie,
Can I please have 3 selections from my shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

thanks!

[Lisette]

Hi Mell! Here you go:

A Little Christmas Faith - because it still feels like Christmas :)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - I love the Harry Potter books.
Blood Laws - just because it is a different genre than the other two.

[Mell]

Thanks, I think I will go with Blood Laws to start something new :)

[Lisette]

I hope you enjoy it!

[LaurLa]

Thanks, Lusie! I think I'll go with Magic Mourns!

[Lisette]

Sounds great :)

Hi Lagullande! Happy New Year! Here are your books:

Soviet Milk - highest rating
Pachinko - this is on my tbr as well.

Oh gosh, I want to read all three!
It will probably be Soviet Milk because I'm trying to read more new books this year.

Thank you!

And Happy New Year to you as well!

[Lisette]

That sounds good, Lagullande. I hope you enjoy it.

Lusie wrote: "That sounds good, Lagullande. I hope you enjoy it."

I'm sure I will at some point, but I've changed my mind and started Pachinko instead. I did say I wanted to read them all!

[Lisette]

Haha, no problem! Pachinko is on my TBR as well. Can you let me know what you think of the book after you have finished it?

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Please pick three books from my shelf, thanks.

My bookshelf

[Lisette]

Hi Christina,

Caraval - I keep seeing this book everywhere. I wonder if it is good.
The Royal We - everyone needs a bit of romance every now and then ;)
Murder in the Secret Garden -Cozy mysteries is still a new to me genre. This one sounds good

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Thanks Lusie, I read Alias Grace, and it was great. Hope you get to fit it in soon!

[Lagullande]

Lusie wrote: "Haha, no problem! Pachinko is on my TBR as well. Can you let me know what you think of the book after you have finished it?"

Hi Lusie. Pachinko was long, but a pretty quick read. I gave it 4 stars (although half-way through, I was considering downgrading to 3). I recommend it if you like historical family sagas. And it taught me something new about Korean history.

[Lisette]

Glad you liked it, Abbie! I haven't found a challenge yet to use it for, but I'll certainly read it this year.

Lagullande, I do like that kind of books so I'll keep it on my tbr. Thanks for letting me know!

[Amy]

Hi Lusie, just landed here and would appreciate three selections from Amy's bookopoly shelf. Thanks!

[Lisette]

Hi Amy, here are your books

Without Merit - This one is on my tbr as well
A Tangled Mercy - I've heard good things about this book
Far From True - I love this author and liked how the series started. Can't wait to read this one :)

[Amy]

I'm on hold for the audio of Without Merit, so I'll go with one of the others. I have both books, so I'll decide over the next few days. Thanks, Lusie!

[Lisette]

You are welcome!

[Lisette]

Hi Judy! How about...

Hot Zone - highest rating
Dancing in the Duke's Arms - something romantic
The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic - because it's a different genre; non-fiction

[CluckingBell]

Hello, Lusie! I haven't been here since you bought the place. Would you come up with 3 books for me to pick from? :-)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

[Lisette]

Hi Cluckingbell, welcome back :D

River Thieves - this sounds good
Silent Scream - because I love mystery/crime books
City - because it is a different genre than the others

Thank you, Lusie! This is a hard choice, as the first book's author I've been wanting to read for a long time, the second I have as an ebook to complement all the paper books I'm currently reading, and the third I need as an upcoming IRL book club read. I think I better sleep on it....

[Lisette]

that does sound like a hard choice! I think if I were you I'd go for the book you have been wanting to read for a long time, River Thieves.

[CluckingBell]

That's how I'm leaning, assuming I can find my copy (to be honest, I don't just have a Mount TBR at my house, but a small mountain range).

[LaurLa]

Hi Lusie! I have landed on And the Mountains Echoed with you - May I have 3 choices please?
LaurLa's Bookopoly Shelf

[Lisette]

Hi Laurla!

Scarlet I love the series.
Beast Behaving Badly this one has got a high rating.
First Star I See Tonight I like the cover.

[Kristina Simon]

Hi Lusie! I've landed on your property! Could I please have 3 selections from my bookopoly shelf? Thanks!

[Lisette]

Hi Kristina, here you go:

Out of Africa could be interesting
The Invisible Bridge I thought this was a good book.
Catch of the Day After these books you need something light. I think this is a cute cover :)

[Kristina Simon]

Thanks, Lusie! I'm going to go with The Invisible Bridge. I've been itching to get to that one. :-)

[Lisette]

I hope you like it as much as I did! I gave it 4 stars.

Thanks!!! I'm choosing Beasts Behaving Badly!

[Tien]

Hi Lusie *waves*

Could I request 3 picks from my shelf please? Cheers!

[Lisette]

Hi Tien! *waves back*
I was so tempted to choose to choose the next book in the stormlight archive series, but I think you're not ready yet. So I'll keep that one in mind for next time ;)

To Green Angel Tower, Part 1 - I love this series.
The Sky So Heavy - I like this title
An Unkindness of Magicians - this sound good, I'll add it to my tbr.

[Tien]

er yep, not ready for Oathbringer yet ha ha ha... I'll wait for you! After your exams? I don't I'd pick it up that soon unless I'm reading with someone else ha ha ha

It's probably going to be An Unkindness of Magicians since it's a library book due at the end of this month although I think this is the 3rd time for Green Angel so err... I'll see how I go when I finish my current reads :)

Thanks, Lusie!

[Lisette]

Haha. Are you going to read book 2.5 Edgedancer? If yes maybe we can squeeze that book in before we move on to book 3. Yes after exams would be best. While studying I tend to go for the quick and easy reads.

Could you let mee know what you think of An Unkindness of Magicians?

I keep picking that series for you lol Tad Williams is one of my favorite authors, so I can't help it.

Hm, I wasn't going to but now that I think about it, I am rather curious about Lift. Where have you slotted this book for in WoB, if at all?

As I said, it takes me forever to pick thick books... lol

[Lisette]

I've got Edgedancer planned for science-fiction in round 3. I'm curious about Lift too!

I've got no problem with picking thick books. Especially not when I'm really into the series.

[Amy]

Hi Lusie, I'm back for more selections. Can you choose three from Amy's bookopoly shelf? Thanks!
