Rachel Reads Randomly - Vote #63

 

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

1 Votes - 12 Honeymoons by K.L. Brady

2  Votes - Personal (Jack Reacher 19) by Lee Child

4 Votes -  Wing Jones by Katherine Webber 

7 Votes -  Nina is Not OK by Shappi Khorsandi

8 Votes - Pendulum by Adam Handy

For the majority of the time this vote was running I had somehow convinced myself that it would be potentially a four way tie, so imagine my relief when I counted and found a definite winner. I have though taken onboard the comments about Nina is Not OK and will attempt to read it when I get a chance, hopefully in a month or two on a Fab Firsts review! Pendulum I did enjoy even though its perhaps not quite the sub genre of thriller I enjoy. I am still relatively new to thrillers, so learning as I go what sorts I am liking. 

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...

Well I got as far as trying to do the graphic with the cover images on before discovering Friends-in-Law by Lindsey Paley appears to no longer exist in Amazon, and as it doesn't seem fair to vote/review a book that you wouldn't then be able to buy, I need to Veto it!. 

So the 5 choices with my gut feeling responses are:

8 - Survival of the Ginnest by Aimee Horton - I've had to look this up on Amazon as I know the title has change from when it went on my spreadsheet. It is now called - Perfect Mayhem. I know I have loved reading others in the series, and suspect this one will be equally as funny! 

113 - Don't Marry Thomas Clark by Celia Hayes - I wasn't too keen on what I read of this authors latest book, purely due to my instant dislike of the characters. I am hopeful that i will like this one a lot more

151 - The Secrets We Keep by Colette Caddle - Always tend to enjoy this author, and have to suspect there may be a story involving secrets in this one! 

539 - The Wedding Diary by Margaret James - I have never read this author, but I know the book attracted me when I bought it for some reason. 

808 - Summer with the Country Village Vet by Zara Stoneley  - This is the first book in a new series by Zara Stoneley and I'm expecting to see handsome vets and cute animals. I just love this author! 

Now this is a selection that excites me. I deep down know which I would love to win, with others that I will be very happy with too. Bit gutted that I needed to veto a book I want to read, but in the interests of fairness I have done. As always I'll be interested to see your comments which I always read, along with your selections. 

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. 

And authors, if its your book up on this feature, feel free to take part, vote for yourself, or stir up excitement amongst your fans! 

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.
