Rachel Reads Randomly - Vote #58

 

Thank you everyone for your input last time. The results of the last vote were:

1 Votes - Pendulum by Adam Handy

2 Votes -  Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

2 Votes - Friends, Lies and Alibis by Debby Holt

3 Votes -   Dog Soldiers by Isabel George

4 Votes - The Jackdaw by Luke Delaney

Thank you so much everyone for your votes last week. I'm getting the impression they weren't the most known books in my collection, but always good to hear about new books. I loved The Jackdaw which has one of the best villains I've read about for ages! 

This week I've decided we are going to randomise from books published in 2017, I figure if I can slowly keep on top of what I've been buying this year, it would be good.

Below is my initial theory for this feature, and then a bit further, what you are all waiting for... This weeks's vote! Enjoy!

I am also awful at deciding what book to read next, as I often have about 10 titles or authors jumping into my brain at any time, shouting at me to read them, and I tend to worry I have made the wrong decision while reading a perfectly good book. I am hoping this will save me having to make at least 1 choice a week, while possibly providing a review to the site of a book you all either love or are curious about yourselves. 

So what I am proposing, is my lovely loyal readers of Rachel's Random Reads, select one book for me to read a week, and I will post the review the following week. 

This week's random numbers are...

And the books these numbers correspond to are...

So the 5 choices with my gut feeling responses are:

10 - Rosie's Little Cafe on the Riviera by Jennifer Bohnet - This is a title that keep tormenting me on my TBR, it sounds as though it should be fab and I love books featuring cafes and also the French Riviera. 

15 - Mystery at Maplemead Castle by Kitty French - I absolutely loved the first book on The Chapelwick Mysteries series, and I'm just trying to find time to read this second book. 

17 - Prime Justice by Mel Comley - Can't believe this is book 14 already on a series that I have been loving since book 1. I can't wait to read the next installment of DI Lorne Warner

20 - Playing by the Rules by Rosa Temple - I've really enjoyed the previous two books I have read by this author, and looking forward to the time to start this one

22 - Sins of the Father by Sheryl Browne - I love Sheryl Browne's books and this is another book that I'm really looking forward to reading. I need to know what happens next to DI Matthew Adams. 

Wow this for me has to be the most exciting selection that has popped up for a few weeks. I would be so happy with any of these books winning, however equally I fear this ending up as a tie, as I just wouldn't be able to pick between them.. which could lead to a lot of weekend reading for me!  All I can say if please do take part, have a say, it doesn't matter if you have read it yourself or not, just if you have anything drawing you to one book or another, please have a comment..its only fun and I never blame you all if I don't like the book! 

Pick your favourite or the one you most want me to review, or just the one you are curious about, and leave me a comment below, before midnight on Wednesday. 

I look forward to seeing what I will be reading over the weekend, courtesy of you all.

The explanation if you haven't seen the feature before. 

How is this going to work?

Every Monday, I am going to have a post like this, which is going to have some choices on it. I am planning on using random.org to select 7 random numbers, to coincide with my spreadsheet of unread books.  

I will from that produce a list of hopefully 5 books, I reserve the right to veto any books, and will give reasons for them, if it occurs.

I will take screenshots and post them, of the chosen books, and also give you my instinctive reactions to the choices (without checking blurbs or any other info about them, which could be interesting as there are probably many forgotten about books on my spreadsheet!). 

Your task is to post a comment on this post, with the book you would like me to read this week. At midnight on Wednesday I will take a tally of the votes and the book with the most, I will read and review for the following Monday, where you will also get a new choice post. 

In the event of a tie, I will chose which one appeals most, for the Monday review, and possibly try and read and review the other to appear when I can. 

I am hoping this will provide some variety to the books appearing, and will let me potentially read or discover some great authors that I have wanted to read but not got around to yet.
