I rolled a 4 which puts me on a utility square. Can a Librarian please choose a book for me to read? (Hope I am doing this correctly)

Yep, that's fine. Would you like a choice of 2 or 3 books or just the one?

You'll only have to read 1 book but I can give you a choice rather than having to read the one book I picked.

Maybe a choice of 2 would be good thank you

Julinda wrote: "Maybe a choice of 2 would be good thank you"

Then my choices for you are:
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey

both 5-star-reads for me, enjoy! ;)

My turn!

I'd also like 2 choices from my shelf, please :)

Tien wrote: "My turn!

I am going to pick:
The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon (I am curious what you think of this one)
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler - I loved this book!

This is weird as it is not yet Dec 1 in the US....lol

Difficult choice as have heard such good things about both of them. I am going to choose Jasper Jones. Thank you.

I also loved Kindred.

Kindred it is! I loved time travel & been wanting to read this for ages.

I rolled a 4, could a librarian please give me a choice of three books.

Ta

This is an easy one, Karen. I pick:

After You by Jojo Moyes
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
AND
Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

They were all 5 star reads for me.

I rolled a 12 could a librarian give me a pick. Could you pick 4 books please? Thanks!

Allegiant
A Town Like Alice
The Secret Life of Bees
Bridge to Terabithia

Thanks Bea!"

I was glad to get a chance to pick books for someone. I hope you enjoy as all are either 4 or 5 stars for me.

I just rolled this again for my 3rd roll. I will need more recommendations! :-) From 4 again please. Thanks!

I'm on it, Charity. Be right back.

Ah, easy picks, Charity. You have a list with a wide variety of interesting books. My picks for you:

The Grapes of Wrath- wonderful!
The Importance of Being Earnest - on this month's shelf?
Naked in Death - one of my favorite escapist series!
The Bookman's Tale - I'm considering it, and would like to know what you think of it

Thanks Susan! :-)

Thanks for being so prompt guys!

Lyn (Readinghearts) wrote: "Thanks for being so prompt guys!"

No problem. It's fun to do some choosing. We should probably leave the next one for you to do.

No worries...I would rather the person get their books as soon as possible since I am not on all of the time!

Finished Kindred! It was like a car crash, you know... I know it's getting to be late & bad for me (later in the day!) to still be up but I couldn't stop! lol

It's a confronting look at slavery from a future pov which I found was easier to contend with due to me listening to Uncle Tom's Cabin at the same time. Uncle Tom has broken my heart twice already (nearly cried) so I find that Kindred is a step or two removed from heartbreak.

oh, um, I also landed on U: Book Club Fee -Ask a Librarian

Could someone pick 3 books for me, please?
Thanks!

Tien,

Glad to pick. Back in a minute.
And yes, I Kindred was amazing, wasn't it?

Tien,

Bizarre. Almost every book on your list that I've read is one I've given only 3 stars to. So I didn't pick those.

And did you know you have Disruption on the list, but you've rated it ( 5 stars)?

Anyway, my choices for you are:
Aunty Lee's Delights - cozy mystery; tell me if you like it
Passenger - looks wonderful!
Letter from Birmingham Jail - listening to it could be very powerful

Thanks for the picks, Susan, i love the idea of Passenger. I mean time travel & pirates! Nuf said!

I'll have to do a compare books with you when i get on pc to check this out...

I wanted to reread Disruption so i could read the next book (its a duology) so ive put it there. Ive a feeling no ones going to pick it though since its marked as read ;p

Tien wrote: "I wanted to reread Disruption so i could read the next book (its a duology) so ive put it there. Ive a feeling no ones going to pick it though since its marked as read ;p ."

I admit, I didn't pay much attention to Disruption for that reason. I wonder if you could use a different edition as a dummy on this shelf, so it didn't affect people's choices? In the same way, I usually steer clear of later books in a series if an earlier book is on the list. I think you have a few like that.

I admit, ..."

That is an interesting dilemma, Tien. I never really thought of that.

As for the series books, I made sure to only put the next book that I need to read on my shelf so people don't have to worry about that. Then if someone picks it and I read it, I can put the next one on the shelf.

my logic is that if it's 1 or 2 after the series, it would encourage me to get up to date though if it's way later than that, I'd probably pick another book to read ;p

Too true, Tien

Just landed on U: Imagination - Ask a Librarian. Please choose 3 books for me when you have a moment. Many thanks!

I will do this one.

Amy, I chose these three for you:

The Color Purple
Interpreter of Maladies
The Goldfinch

Wow, Bea, that was quick! Thanks!

I landed on U:Imagination. Please pick three books for me. Thanks.

(I am chasing Amy!)

Bea wrote: "I landed on U:Imagination. Please pick three books for me. Thanks.

I got you:

All the Light We Cannot See
Northanger Abbey
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

The second two are favorite classics of mine. The first one I really want to read myself. I hear it is great.

Thanks, Lyn. I will read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn as it will meet several challenges.

Hi mods, I've just landed on Paper Mite Extermination -- would you be so kind as to pick 3 books for me to choose from? Thanks!

Glad to, Marina. I choose:

A Beautiful Mind - I gave it 4 stars
The Light Fantastic - I haven't put Discworld on my TBR yet, but I suppose I should
Magical Thinking: True Stories - I'd never heard of it, but it sounds like it could be a great read. Adding it to my "considering" list

Thanks, Susan. I'll choose A Beautiful Mind, as it's been 3 years (!) on my TBR.

I landed on Big Brain. Could I have 3 choices, please?

Jean wrote: "I landed on Big Brain. Could I have 3 choices, please?"

Here they are:

Never Let Me Go
Garden Spells
The Pilot's Wife
