Rachel Reads Randomly Vote #15

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

0 Votes - French Leave by Liz Ryan

1 Vote - French Coast a novel by Anita Hughes

2 Votes -Tout Sweet: Hanging Up my High Heels for a New Life in France by Karen Wheeler

7 Votes -The French For Always by Fiona Valpy

7 Votes - You Had Me At Bonjour by Jennifer Bohnet

As it was a tie, it was down to me to chose, but since my best friend, and fellow blogger who always votes, was in hospital, I messaged her to pick, so she didn't miss out. So You Had Me at Bonjour was the winner, and the review will be up during the day. 

Below is initially my 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 weeks random numbers are...

And the books these numbers correspond to are...

I'm using my power of veto this week to remove Caro Feely's Saving Our Skins from the choices, due to it being a book 2 of a series that I haven't read book one of. So have used the 6th random number as a replacement. 

So the 5 choices with my gut feeling responses are:

226 - The Rosie Project by Graeme Simison -  I won this last year, I remember thinking it looks good, remember being told the same, but clearly haven't started it yet

241 - The Idea of Him by Holly Peterson - I'm wracking my brains but really don't remember anything about this book at the moment, so this could be a complete surprise if it wins

296 - Hopelessly Devoted To You by Jill Steeples - I've read others by Jill and liked them. Love the song in Grease with the same title too!

490 - Nobody Walks by Mick Herron - I know this is crime and that I won it in a bundle of books, and that it looked interesting. 

491 - I'll Take New York by Miranda Dickinson - Another of those books I keep meaning to read and then accidentally leaving it to get buried on my kindle.

Interesting selection, with a few books there that I have been meaning to get around to reading. So to me the question is will it be one of those that wins, or will you go for something completely different so we can all discover a new book together?

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.
