Rachel Reads Randomly - Vote #98

 

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

4 Votes - The Last Laugh by Tracy Bloom

5 Votes - Where The Light Gets In by Lucy Dillon

12 Votes  -   A Year of Taking Chances by Jennifer Bohnet

Overwhelming winner again this week, and a great choice it was. I do always seem to enjoy Jennifer Bohnet books when I get to them and this one had been taunting me to read it from the moment I downloaded it. 

For the next few weeks we will be randomising from my review stacks, until I break for my upcoming holiday. I am including books in the pool coming out in the next few weeks as I've moved onto reading for my big summer feature that will run through mid June - mid July. 

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 3 choices with my gut feeling responses are:

4 - You, Me, Everything by Catherine Isaac - I loved this author when she wrote as Jane Costello and I've been eagerly looking forward to reading this from the moment I received it

5 - A Girl's Best Friend by Jules Wake -  I love everything this author tends to write and this one has just slipped through my fingers. Really want to read it! 

11 - The Little Cornish Kitchen by Jane Linfoot - I love Jane Linfoot and all of her books set in Cornwall.  And it features a kitchen, hopefully some great food descriptions in here! 

Good luck everyone, three authors that I wouldn't want to pick between as I tend to really enjoy all of their books and I've met them all in person and they are all utterly fabulous.  Can't wait to see which will win! 

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.
