Wow was two weeks ago,and I've been so busy I really can't think what I want to write here, other than I loved the winning choice Return to Bluebell Hill and my review will be up very shortly. 

It is time for another go at my paperback assortment this week, since I am still trying to reduce the amount of unread paperbacks that I have. Well they take up space and I will be moving house at some point this year, so in theory the less I have to still read when we move the better! 

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:

1 - 12 Honeymoons by K.L. Brady - I won this a few years ago and it looks like it should be a fun book. 

22 - Nina is Not OK by Shappi Khorsandi - I have been tempted to pick this book up a few times, but haven't quite got as far as reading it. I've heard some good things though. 

30 - Pendulum by Adam Handy - I am incredibly curious about this title, from what I recall of the blurb it sounds very interesting, but I may just need a push to actually start reading it.

31 - Personal (Jack Reacher 19) by Lee Child - Never read a Lee Child book, if you can believe  it, so would be wanting to start the Jack Reacher series on book 19, if that is even possible. 

69 - Wing Jones by Katherine Webber - This was released earlier this year and it looks interesting. This could be the choice for you if you want me to potentially have a different read as from what I recall it may not be quite the sort of book I would normally pick. 

To me this looks like a selection that has two books that have been on this feature in the past, 4 books that I won in competitions and 1 that I received from a goody bag, which to me suggests that as I didn't actively go out and make sure I owned them, I don't completely know much about any of them. They are also all authors I have never read which means its a new experience whatever wins! Regardless as always please pick whatever catches your eye for whatever reason. 

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.
