Rachel Reads Randomly - Vote #73

 

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

3 Votes -  Christmas at Rosewood by Sophie Pembroke

6 Votes - One Day in December by Shari Low

9 Votes - Christmas at the Log Fire Cabin by Catherine Ferguson

As always I love reading the comments, and I can only apologise to those that do think its too early for Christmas, however as someone who loves Christmas books and tries to read loads of them, its about the right time of year already.  To everyone else, thank you so much for picking another fabulous book for me. I loved Christmas at the Log Fire Cabin. 

It's official, its the run up to Christmas, give or take Halloween, hence its time for us to do a few weeks of Christmas random reads, or until I run out of eligible books! This is purely as I only like reading them at this time of year, and never like having too many left over year to year! For the next couple of months, there will only be 3 choices each week due to the smaller pool to pick from. I have added in this year a few of the wintery sounding books too, just for a bit of variety!  

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:

4 - Christmas at the Dancing Duck by Daisy James - Love the author and based on what I've seen on the promo graphics there should be Christmas food involved! 

5 - Twelve Days of Christmas by Debbie Macomber -  Love the author, but not so keen on the cover. Can't recall anything specific about this but will probably be a very easy read! 

12 - Charlee and the Chocolate Shop by Jessica Redland - Love the author and well this one has Chocolate and Christmas in it , how can it be anything but very tempting?!

3 Authors I absolutely love reading, really need to make sure I fit all these books into my reading this Christmas, but which one will be the priority and first one that I will read? Well it is of course up to you, will be very interested in seeing how this one pans out. 

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! 

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.
