Rachel Reads Randomly - Vote #16

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

0 Votes - The Idea of Him by Holly Peterson

1 Vote - Nobody Walks by Mick Herron

2 Votes Hopelessly Devoted To You by Jill Steeples

6 Votes - I'll Take New York by Miranda Dickinson

11 Votes - The Rosie Project by Graeme Simison

For a while the voting looked close between The Rosie Project and I'll Take New York but I'm glad The Rosie Project won, as I may not have ever selected it from my book box otherwise. 

Decided to have another go with just paperbacks as I do need to make more of a conscious effort to try and read some of them. Last time I did just paperbacks on this feature, there was a record high response. Hoping this weeks selection produces the same. 

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...

So the 5 choices with my gut feeling responses are:

21 - Syndrome E by Franck Thilliez - I believe this is a crime book, I won it over Christmas in a bundle of books.

32 - The Little Shop of Happy Ever After by Jenny Colgan - Huge Jenny Colgan fan, review books have got in the way of me starting this

37 - Fire Damage by Kate Medina - Brand new psychological thriller out next month that looks really interesting

43 - Personal (Jack Reacher 19) by Lee Child - Not read any of Lee Childs books, but intrigued to see what all the fuss is about

60 - Too Close For Comfort (Jo Bingham Book 3) by Niamh O'Connor - I'm sorry but completely drawing a blank about this other than I won it somewhere. 

Well there is one book in this selection that I desperately want to read, one that I am highly curious about and a couple I know very little about. I will be very interested as always to see which the winning choice and I will happily read whichever you pick for me. 

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.
