Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway and gave me book recommendations. I have put them into a spread sheet and I have 111 different authors – some with specific book suggestions and some who have all their books recommended. If anyone wants a copy of the spread sheet please let me know.
The most suggested book(s) are the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich with SIX recommendations.
I am off on a 26 hour bus ride tomorrow and I downloaded three of the suggested books onto my Kobo from the library:
The Litigators – John Grisham
The Night Circus – Eric Morgenstern
The Virgin Cure – Amy McKay
Don’t feel left out if you didn’t recommend these books. They are just the ones I could get from my library. I’ve got a bit of sewing to do as well, and some crossword puzzles. And a pillow and blanket
I also have:
One for the Money – Janet Evanovich – first in the Stephanie Plum series on a CD, and
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows on order from the library.
And on to the winner! I used the random number generator this time and it chose # 163….

That's a great new picture in your header ... looks a bit like Finnland.
ReplyDeleteI think I will have to check out Janet Evanovich, maybe it's a bit like Sara Paretsky ...
Ohh and the Potaoe Peel society is a good read, not too long, not too short ...
What a great selection for you to choose from,Can you find them at your library? How far do you go in the 26 hours? Is it all in snow country? And the new header photo??

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Katherine on the draw. Janet, I would love to see your list. I'm always on the lookout for some new authors to try. The Stephanie Plum series is a good read and I believe there has been a made for TV movie out of one or two of them already. Thanks for sharing and stay warm.

First of all, I love the new header picture ... getting in the holiday mood and making snow look enchanting. I hope you find lots of great stories. Are we going to get some book reports?
