Do you have pick for me to read from my 5? If you've read one of mine, select it for me to read and someone will do the same for you and post their next 5!

Ooo sorry, I forgot to pick for you. I haven't read it, but my daughter said the warrior heir was good. Thanks!


message 306: by Holly (new)

Holly | 108 comments Warrior heir is good, the next 2 books in the series are even better.


message 307: by [deleted user] (new)

So did someone actually pick for Ash?

Ash (alf203) | 45 comments Louise wrote: "So did someone actually pick for Ash?"

Yes, Amy picked Warrior Heir for me. Just finished it and I'm ready to go out and buy the next two in the series! It was great :)


message 309: by [deleted user] (new)

I forgot to post that i did finish Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger . I gave it 2 stars. It wasnt really the book for me. Wich one is the next in getting books chosen for?


message 310: by Theo (new)

Theo It doesn't look like anyone has chosen for amy. I've finished The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson and enjoyed it, but I haven't read any of the books she's posted, so I will have to wait for my next five.


message 311: by [deleted user] (new)

I havent read any of her books either


message 312: by Salem (new)

I haven't read it, but I was told by a friend to read Shift!

My 5 are:
Princess Sultana's Daughters by Jean P. Sasson Sold by Patricia McCormick The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patton Shakespeare's Spy (Shakespeare Stealer, #3) by Gary L. Blackwood Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya


message 313: by Theo (new)

Theo I've been reading Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate, #3) by Gail Carriger so that I could recommend it (and also for my own enjoyment), but I didn't read it fast enough, and now I haven't read any of Salem's books, so I guess I will continue to wait.


message 314: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Wadsworth (djtjmom) | 39 comments Would Salems list really be the next one up since she hasn't read any of the previous books, she just "recommended one that sounded good"


message 315: by [deleted user] (new)

Noone read any of Salems books?


message 316: by Theo (new)

Theo I haven't read any of Salem's books, but I have now read one of amy's. Lisa is right that the official rules in the first post on this thread say that you have to have read at least one of the person's books in order to go.

Do we have someone who can make an "official ruling"?

I vote it should go back to Amy's books...


message 318: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (shgmclicious) In that case, Amy hadn't read one, either. This is getting confusing.


message 319: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Wadsworth (djtjmom) | 39 comments then it should go back to Ash

message 341: by [deleted user] (new)

I say that Michelle should just start with posting 5 books and we will go from there...


message 342: by Rebecca (last edited Sep 12, 2011 02:55PM) (new)

Rebecca (bexlibris) I didn't finish the book that was picked for me yet (months ago) but can I suggest Little Brother by Cory Doctorow and then Michelle can go? I really liked Little Brother (and I read Crown Duel and The Call is on my TBR list). Is this against the rules?

Ash (alf203) | 45 comments Thanks Jessica! Sorry my books were so hard, I live in Okinawa, Japan where it's impossible to find books in English unless you are military (which I'm not!) So I basically live on e-books! Looking forward to reading Crown Duel!
