Wait... Im confused. Are you listing the 5 books you're thinking about reading and we pick one from that list? Or are you listing 5 books you've read that you liked and someone is picking a book based on your tastes?
you list 5 you ARE CONSIDERING reading and the person below you gets to pick your next book to read. when you post you need to pick a book (that you have read) from the post above you- for that person to read next. did that help?
i started and the person below me chose for me to read the hunger games next.
Totally makes sense now, I'm with you!Unfortunately I can't go next because I've only read one of Louise's books.
BTW, you're in for a treat. She picked very well, Hunger Games is excellent.

well i think i'll change the rules -to at least 1 book so we can keep the posting going- go ahead and pick one for Louise
In response to Louise:I've read Lover Unbound and Nightshade. I absolutely loved Nightshade, so you have to read that next.
My five:
Catie I pick
for you since she is the featured author and I loved that book.Up next for me I have
or

This is the opposite of what I thought it would be, for some reason I thought it was going to be you recommend five books to someone and they have to read one. That would be more difficult though, because you wouldn't know what everyone has read.I have to wait until a new post, because I haven't read any of Heidi's books.
Ok I changed one of my choices from my tbr pile (hint hint Wendy)
Heidi I wrote: "Ok I changed one of my choices from my tbr pile (hint hint Wendy)"Lol I'm waiting for Wendy to get the hint too Heidi, I know exactly which book it's going to be hahaha... :D
I laughed at Outlander too until I saw that it had been changed after Wendy looked at it. I'll second the Outlander love. Fabulous book, but you have to be in the mood for it because it's very lengthy and not a light read.
Not a light read at all. The audio was pretty good, btw Heidi if you do it that format. I really enjoyed the narrator. Thought she did a pretty good job as Clair and she actually did the Scottish brogue quite well too. Just be aware that it's at least 30 discs if not longer.
Becca wrote: "Not a light read at all. The audio was pretty good, btw Heidi if you do it that format. I really enjoyed the narrator. Thought she did a pretty good job as Clair and she actually did the Scottish b..."Yes. Thanks for the warning. I have a hold on it at the library (it is 28 disks!) Someone is taking forever to return it because it has been at least a month.
Oh man, Heidi. Of course I pick Outlander! I spread the love! I was reading scenes the other night and kissing the pages. Definitely definitely Outlander. (With one rule, you must love it, heehee. I'm joking... mostly, hahahaha.)Hmmm, okay, my five books are....
The best part of this new game is that I can choose of books I've already bought and really want to read, but for some reason or another keep procrastinating.
Question for Holly, since she started this, do we have to promise to read it as our exact next book? Because I just got the new Michael Grant, haha, and I was going to read this after that one... I won't though, if it's against the rules.
I just want to add that it's funny how you all know how rabid I am over Outlander... I must be pretty darn obvious!Lastly (I'll stop hogging the thread), this is a great way for people to get idea's for new books to read too, because I'm pretty interested in Please Ignore Vera Dietz and Hate List.
Darn I wish I could go now because I loved Crazy (it is not an easy read though). I feel like Catie did!
Wendy, I choose Everlost! Great series, can't wait for the last one to come out.My Five:
or
Becca if you can get Soulless on audiobook. I love the narrator. Sorry to keep interjecting here :)
I started Everlost on audio. It seemed very middle grade so I stopped. I assume it's get better since a ton of people love it. Should I give it a second chance? Book or audio. Just ignore this post Holly ;)
Rofl! I love you all! I plan on reading all of these books in the near future Catie, so no worries, I'll get there. I'll definitely check out the audio of Soulless if I can find it Heidi. And yes Peep! It is worth it to keep going. It is directed at a slightly younger audience, I'd say mid-teens, but the story and characters are definitely one an adult can enjoy. Plus the real villian in the series is just so fantastic it makes me shiver. I would love to get your reaction when you get to that twist. I did the audio for both Everlost and Everwild, and both were very very good.
Thanks Becca! I'm going to see about downloading the audio when I'm done with my current audiobooks.
Question for Holly, since she started this, do we have to promise to read it as our exact next book? Because I just got the new Michael Grant, haha, and I was going to read this after that one... I won't though, if it's against the rules. haha, Wendy if you read books as fast as most of us do in this group i'm sure it doesnt really matter. hunger games might not be my exact next one either as i have an ebook of ink exchange downloaded on my computer and only get it for 2 weeks. which is plenty enough time if i wasnt in the middle of a 500 pg book right now. there needs to be more time in the day, sigh.

awesome, so it looks like I'm forcing myself through Sweet Valley Confidential and then reading Plague, followed by Everlost. Yay!I'm actually thisclose to quitting SVC. I really really WANT to enjoy it, but... I'm just not!

I liked the first book more than the second and I have not gotten to the third book yet. I think the audio really adds to my star rating with the series. I gave book one 4 stars and book 2 3 stars. It is not life changing, but an ok series to read.
Becca.. I don't know if someone actually picked or not... I will pick
sweet little readmy five are...
Hope I did this right ;)
Okay Nikki, I pick The Thief for you (you should also read the other books in the series, because they get even better).My five:
It was kind of hard for me to come up with five. I think it might be because I generally have an idea of what I want to read next.
Jessica, I'm going to pick:

I want to pick a book for everyone! This is driving me crazy!

Catie wrote: "Me too Heidi - book matchmaking is my favorite thing.We should start a "book matchmakers" thread. We scour your shelves and pick your next book :P"
that sounds fun Catie. we would have more books to chose from that way! let me know if you start it :)
Jessica: The Thief is actually perfect since I just got the whole series from the library! I start it tomorrow probably since I am in the middle of a book today. I really like this thread!

Wendy F wrote: "LOL, that is a great idea Heidi, you should start it! I saw another Outlander and had to bite my lip."I really have been holding back here. I want to tell everyone what to read!
