Connie N. | 685 comments There's a mix-up between Connie and Connie N.

I see that Karen's link goes to Connie's page, so it looks like she should pick for Connie and Marty should pick for Connie N.

Connie N. is listed twice as picker as well. So I'll pick for Marty, which means Connie should pick for Kathy.

Connie N. | 685 comments Hi Marty! I haven't read any of your books, but these sound good:

The Women by T.C. Boyle and Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die, #1) by Danielle Paige

Based on your likes/dislikes, I'm thinking this one might be right up your alley:
The Vanishing Season by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Enjoy!

Camilla (cyqua) Hi Karina!

For you, I choose:
The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden and John Dies at the End (John Dies at the End, #1) by David Wong - both have been on my TBR for ages, but I haven't gotten around to them, so would be very interested to hear your take :)

For your extra book in the horror genre, I see that you have already read several of my favourites, so I will recommend my most favourite ever: Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist.
Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
You may have seen the film, but the book is even more amazing - any of his books are well worth reading! Very creepy and atmospheric and different from most other stories.
(I see that you are from Norway, so you may even consider reading it in the original Swedish or the translated Norwegian, since his language is a large part of the story)

Enjoy!

I Pick The Maze Runner (The Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner Cragside (DCI Ryan Mysteries, #6) by L.J. Ross

I had a hard time choosing just one bonus book for you, but Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1) by Susan Ee won.

Side Note. Firelight and Ready Player One were the runners up.


Avid Reader and Geek Girl (avidreaderandgeekgirl) | 417 comments Karen
For you I pick Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs & The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez and recommend The Whispering Room (Jane Hawk #2) by Dean Koontz - I saw you read the first one and liked it so, hopefully you like this one too

Thanks! Running with Scissors was one I was considering for an audiobook, so that's perfect timing! I haven't actually read the first of the Jane Hawk series just yet, but it's on my list and I've loved almost all Dean Koontz books so I have high hopes!

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 2364 comments Connie, for you I pick:
Camino Island by John Grisham The Chess Men by Peter May and The Dry (Aaron Falk, #1) by Jane Harper as a bonus. You didn't pick a favorite genre but by your book options, I thought you might like this one. I loved it. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Danielle! I am not too familiar with these books so I picked ones that I thought sounded good.

Sorry I was thinking humor in general.

New Genre pick: Cut & Run (Cut & Run, #1) by Abigail Roux or Zero at the Bone (Zero at the Bone) by Jane Seville or Faith & Fidelity (Faith, Love, & Devotion, #1) by Tere Michaels

I've actually read two books on your shelf, and I can highly recommend a Hugo and Nebula Award winner that you have marked to read!

Zuzana | 1204 comments Theo

I secretly hoped that American Gods gets to be chosen. So thanks for the expert pick. :D

I really enjoyed Ender's Game and then I found out what kind of person the author is. I will have to think about whether I'll delve into Speaker for the Dead. I don't have this problem when it comes to music. I love& listen to Wagner's and Beethoven's music eventhough they were jerks in their private lives.

Thank you Penumbra!

Yes! Those are great choices, thank you!

I've wanted to read Six of Crows for a while. I'm actually reading an Ursula K. Le Guin book now, and was planning on reading more stuff by her (RIP) this year so I'm happy with your bonus picks!!!
