[2019] Voting for 15th Mini-Poll

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

I read The Troop a few years ago and I think I was a little too stressed and all over the place so it was one of those books that I read but my mind was somewhere else. So I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as if I would have read at a different time, I think. I did read The Deep, another Nick Cutter book, this year and liked it. It's also very graphic and becomes a bit overdone and dragged-out at times. It also had a tough animal scene that I entirely skipped.

I think the way it is worded is "a" favorite author, so I think that could be any author you enjoy and would take a recommendation from, not your absolute favorite. I wouldn't worry, as I don't have any record of picking any winning topics. I'd say you are pretty safe, Chinook.

Lol - Tammy, I usually feel the same!

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

I'm the same as Chinook and Tammy... any author whose book I've read and liked is a "favorite" author since I never really care about who the author is before I pick up a book. That's why I usually downvote author prompts! I don't really have a favorite and I don't really care what they recommend... I did like this year's debut novel by an author prompt though.

We've had something along the lines of recommended by a favourite author in the past, and the way I got the recommendation was through Goodreads - I looked at authors I like and read their reviews. There are a lot of reviews where they say things like "people should read this book", or "it's amazing and worth reading" or other similar accolades. I considered that a recommendation, so that could work for some people too.

That day when it's the 15 October in Australia but not in the US yet so I know voting hasn't ended......
