It's difficult to choose just one of those books that interests me. Many sound great! I'm interested in The Vanishing Point because I love reading about the Colonies, but The Last Tsarina sounds fascinating too because I've loved the history around the Romanovs since I was a little girl. Thanks for sharing this list! utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com

ReplyDeleteOooh, I'd be interested in picking up Anansi Boys.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I'm in :). My first choice would be Black by Ted Dekker, then Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. If none of those work, then perhaps the Beowulf. What a cool giveaway, by the way, letting us choose and all :).
ReplyDeleteI left comments on the Anansi Boys and Black threads.
Email is in my profile. Thanks!

Oh, how could I choose just one of these?!? I am interested in quite a few of them. I always end up adding at least one or two books to my to-reads when I come to this site. I LOVED Anansi Boys and would love to have a copy of that...but there are also so many of these that I haven't read that I would like to! Thanks for all the good suggestions. =)

ReplyDeleteI've never read "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen but would LOVE to!! I loved "Pride & Prejudice!!"
Narrative of the LIfe of Frederick Douglass is the book I would like to accompany me on an adventure....
ReplyDeleteI visited his home in Washington D.C. a while ago, when I was not very aware of Frederick Douglass.
This book would help me to complete my journey.
pumpkinlady430@yahoo.com
Lots of great books here but I'd have to go with Anansi's Boys by Neil Gaiman. He's such a good author!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway idea! So many great books to choose from, it is so hard to decide! I think I will go with Left to Tell, though. I think it sounds very interesting.
ReplyDelete1984 is one of my favorite books. Good to know Book Nookers think it's great, too! :)
Wow. These are some great choices. If I have to pick just one, my top choice would definitely be The Last Tsarina by Carolly Erickson. Though, I'm also extremely interested in Women of Magdalene by Rosemary Poole-Carter and Beowulf: a New Translation by Seamus Heaney. Thanks!
ReplyDeletetiffanyak1986(at)hotmail(dot)com
What a great idea - I'd pick The Last Tsarina by Carolly Erickson. Meant to read this when it came out and now would be a great time to follow thru on that. Several of the 5 star books I have read and you've given us a great list to consider when picking out both our next reads and gift books for others.
ReplyDeleteI left a comment on Pratchett's Thief of Time.
ReplyDeleteI left a comment on Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff.
ReplyDeleteWhen that book was offered to me, I hesitated wanting something light rather than religious. boys will be boys and this is the rest of the story not covered in the Gospels. Lighthearted but not disrespectful.
Make it Radical Womanhood for me. Sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove your list too.
WOW!
I would like The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCool giveaway idea... Here are my picks from your 5-star list:
