What Shall I Read This August? + GIVEAWAY

It's the first Thursday of the month so you know what that means - I need help to choose a book to read this month! Last month you guys picked Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger and it was a great read so I really have to bow once again to you superior judgement!

So what is this all about? I realised the other day that I've been doing these Throwback Thursday posts inspired by Melissa at My World...in words and pictures for nearly year now - I have posted about over 100 books I own but I have hardly read any yet. So on the first Thursday of each month I will post a poll highlighting all the Throwback Thursday books I've highlighted in the last month plus one of the older Throwbacks and ask you to pick which book I should read. The most popular book after 5 days or so, will be picked up by me and actually read and (hopefully!) reviewed by the end of the month. However, in thanks I will also offer anyone who enters a copy of any book from my TBR Shelf. This way older books get a lot of love from both of us!


So to summarise -
- Pick a book you want me to read from my Throwback Thursday's posts and be in with a chance to win a book for yourself from my TBR pile for your own - check my TBR Shelf at the top for some other books that I need to get round to reading!
- I'll ship it out to from the Book Depository or fishpond so it will be open internationally.
- Leave a comment for an extra entry telling my why I should read your choice!
- Open to followers only (Sorry, but I want to reward those who stop by regularly! Also I'm not advertising or publicising this giveaway so it's just for those who read my blog regularly!)
- Poll closes midnight on Tuesday 6th August - I will try to announce the winning book and lucky follower, by next Thursday.


This month has a bit of a dragon theme to it ...I don't want to be predictable! You can go to the original posts to see what I said about them if you click on them.

  3. I have to say Seraphina, simply because it's on my own TBR list and I've heard great things about it.

  4. I'd recommend Kate Forsyth's book because I've read something else by her and I enjoyed it.

  5. I'm torn between #1 & #3, but I will have to go with Dragon Bones because I love PB's werewolf series and I want to know if her other books are any good.

    I'm so glad that you liked E&E!

  6. My vote gets cast for Seraphina, because I read it a while ago and want to know what you think of it. For such a good book I don't see it getting too many reviews, sadly. Plus, it's just awesome to see more YA traditional fantasy instead of another urban fantasy!

  7. I have never read a book with dragons in it. But Seraphina sounds good. I've read good things but not enough you know...not sure if it's because people don't know about it. Anyway, I vote for that one :)

  8. I recommend Dragon Bones. The Hurog series is a really great one. Patricia Briggs has a true talent for writing and her fantasy series is just as good as her UF series. It's a really great story of a young man trying to be good in a really evil world.
