And the randomly selected winner is Bellwether

I love that all of the books that you've picked so far for these were new to me at the time.
ReplyDeleteDoomsday Book is one of my all time faves, so I have been meaning to read more Connie Willis forever. Can't wait to see if you recommend this one or not.
ReplyDeleteOh, I enjoy Bellweather very much! I hope you like it too!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, wonderful! I love the breadth of suggestions I get and the heads up on the new-to-me authors I should be reading.
ReplyDeleteLenore, seriously? That makes me happy. I love that book. Could not put it down.
Charlotte, ooh, goody. The Charlotte Stamp of Approval is very encouraging. :)
Woo! I hope you enjoy!
ReplyDelete@Lenore - you absolutely MUST read To Say Nothing of the Dog.
I just recently read To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis and absolutely loved it, so one of these days I plan to read more from her.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
ladyjoust, so do I! I plan on going to get it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMarg, I actually have a copy of TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG. May have to jump into that one after I finish BELLWETHER.
I haven't read Unwind, either, but most of my book-loving friends here have, so I'm upping it on my TBR...after Mockingjay, most probably. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't know you've read Dragon Bones already! What did you think of it? I have a feeling you like her urban fantasy books more though.
ReplyDeleteTina, lol. Good plan.
ReplyDeleteChachic, I definitely enjoyed it. And I keep meaning to grab DRAGON BLOOD and find out what happens to Ward and the rest. I got THE HOB'S BARGAIN for my birthday as well and I can't wait to read it and see what I think of the straight fantasy after loving the urban fantasy she's done.
it's quite a list, I have only read the one I recommended - Asleep - if you don't have a copy, I'll send you my copy - just drop me an email - lissawrites(at)gmail(dot)com
