November Someone Else Pick It

[Sophia]

If you are willing to place one of your November reading choices in the hands of another person, leave a comment here with at least five books and no more than ten from your TBR shelf. Participants need to leave comments no later than October 25th.

Here's how it will work:
Sophia will match people up and leave a comment with a list of who will choose for whom.
When you see the person you are to pick for, then just look at their list in the above comments and leave a new comment with their name and the book you chose for them by October 31st.

You also need to watch and see what book your person chose from your list for you.
You have the rest of the month to read the book.

So if this sounds like something you would like to do, just comment below leaving your name and list of book choices for someone to pick your November book.

Hi,

Howdy, all!

I have randomly drawn names from those who submitted a list of books and will put those just below.

For those who are new to this fun activity, here is what you do next:
1. Find your name in the left hand column and then go to the right hand column to see whose name you drew.
2. Go back up in the discussion thread and find that person's list. Choose a book from that list. And, then make a comment to that person of what book you chose for them. Do this by October 31st, please.
3. Watch for the person who drew your name to post their pick from your booklist.
4. Start your books on or after November 1st and feel free to come back and leave a comment of what you thought of the book.
If you want to discuss as you're reading, you can comment on your impressions as you go. Just make sure to mark any spoilery comments at the beginning of your comment.

Happy Picking and Reading!

Hi Katie!

I've not heard of most of your titles and now you have me curious. I'm picking Brighton and Betrayal for you.

Hope its a good one! :)

[Kirk]

Hi Patricia,
I hope your post AGM recovery has gone very well. Mine has been very very slow. And I've been sharing photos one a day on Austen in Boston's social media. I have enjoyed your photos on FB.

I love that you have a few short ones on your list. I, of course, have added some of them to my TBR!

Keeping w that spirit, the choice is "Her Last Words". Happy reading!

[Craftyhj]

Well Kirk, I am in the dark here as I do not know Sanditon at all. It is the only Austen I have never read and I haven't even watched the series. one day ....

I am going to go with Sanditon on Reflection.

[Patricia]

Sam I'm choosing fixed stars for you. Read samples of them all and that caught my interest.

Hope you enjoy!

Hi Katja,

I have only read number one your list, which is okay but not outstanding.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

So instead have choosen Charlotte Lucas takes charge.
Since I thinks she deserves better than being married to the foolish and ignorant Mr Collins. I hope, it will be enjoyable :-)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

PS I havn't read a lot of Shanna Granderson mostly the ones that have comes out on audio. My favorite of hers so far is: My brother your sister

Thank you, Patricia! It's finally time to take that story on!

[Sam]

Good morning, Heather!

I just finished reading Under the Harvest Moon: A Pride and Prejudice Variation based on Rose's recommendation and thought it a fun read.

So its my choice for you. Hope you enjoy it, too!

Thanks for the choice Sam. I have read several by this author and have always enjoyed them so I am hopeful of some fun with this one too.

[Katja]

I am not familiar with any of the books on Sophia's list but I enjoyed something else written by Alice McVeigh so going to go with Marianne :)
although it sounds scary ... is she widowed at 21? oh dear

Loved it, thank you! For a while it
appeared to be following season one
very closely(boo!). And then it found it’s own
wonderful path!!!

[Craftyhj]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Kirk. So do you carry on with your Sanditon Inge or are you going to branch out in a different defection for the rest of the month?

[Katie]

Hi Nina!
I choose Remeber the Past by Maria Grace. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you do too!

[Kirk]

Great question! I’ll probably save
the other Sanditon books for
the next someone else choose!
