Amy | 2231 comments I'm traveling everywhere, it seems. I'm now on the Award Winning board and have landed on National Book Award. I'm not finding anything tempting, so I'd appreciate three picks from my shelf? Thanks!

Love a good series, which makes this a tough choice. I think I'll go with A Darkness Absolute. Thanks for the warp speed picks, Snowtulip!

Susan | 3743 comments Mod
I just rolled for the beginning of my fourth round, on The World Board, and landed on P: Athens right after just finishing my book set in Greece for the month. So I think I'd prefer to go for something a bit different.

Could someone give me 3 suggestions from my shelf at Susan's Bookopoly shelf, please?


message 212: by Tawallah (new)

Tawallah | 155 comments Hi Susan
My three picks are
The Warden by Anthony Trollope
Still Life with Murder by P.B. Ryan
The Emperor’s Blades

Thanks, June. I think I'll start with The Warden, which is a classic I may not choose to finish. That'll be good to know, and if that happens, I'll go on to one of the others.

Sorry for the late reply, D.G., just saw your post. I have read all of the books written by Robert Crais and am looking forward to the next one he writes. Excellent author :-)

Anxious People
Tigana
Cryptonomicon


message 241: by Joanna (new)

Joanna (walker) | 606 comments I think I'm going to go with Cryptonomicon, even though it's 1000+ page length is daunting. It's my big book on my Trim TBR list and I've been wanting to read it for a long time.

If it helps any, Joanna, I gave it 4 stars. I usually like Stephenson's books in spite of how long they all are.

message 250: by D.G. (last edited Feb 27, 2021 09:02AM) (new)

D.G. | 1370 comments Sure, Amy! Here they are...

A Clean Kill in Tokyo (John Rain, #1) by Barry Eisler - is one of my ABSOLUTE favorites!! I actually cried...and it's a thriller!! Here's my review (no spoilers) under the original title: /review/show..., This is one of these series I mean to re-read - Mr. Eisler is one of the few authors who also happen to be a talented narrator.
"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" Adventures of a Curious Character by Richard P. Feynman - I have been meaning to read this one - Feynman was one of my husband's favorite scientist and he was such a character!
The Storyteller's Secret by Sejal Badani - Picked because it's both highly rated and but also have been in your TBR for a while.
