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 60 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 11th September - I will try to announce the winning book and lucky follower, by next Thursday.
This month the books I need to give some serious love to are (you can go to the original posts to see what I said about them if you click on them!):

You have to read Enclave. Ann Aguirre is one of my favourite writers and there's not a book by her I don't love. Enclave is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you need to read What's a Ghoul To Do? it's a great great series and so fun! I always love to read a new book. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
ReplyDeletei think you should try Vengeance born beacsue first the author is really kind ( and yes it counts too) and accessible. then the serie seem really well thought and constructyed with a original universe and not perfect heros who must accept themselves and see that they are stronger than they thought
ReplyDeleteEnclave!! Her characters are so interesting and you'll love the unique world:)
ReplyDeleteVengeance Born sounds amazing! You should definitely read it! :)
ReplyDeleteEnclave Mel, you are going to enjoy the dystopian world that Ann created and be icked out with the "Freaks"!
ReplyDeleteVengeance Born! Because that cover just did it for me :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway :) I love this idea of your followers voting on the next book you read and getting rewarded if their choice wins. Whenever I'm reading a book, even one I don't want to end, I'm always looking forward to the next one.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I'm already in the minority voting for Shakespeare's Landlord. I have never read anything by Charlaine Harris and had no idea she wrote anything besides the Sookie Stackhouse series(love True Blood). This book sounds like a fun mystery and it's a plus that it's a new series. If I win, I may end up choosing this one.
Enclave! I had a problem with the romance, but I really loved the adventure. I still need to read that second book.
ReplyDeletePsst... Kelly Gay's Charlie Madigan series... Just sayin'... ;)
Tough choice, but I will go with...Vegeance Born - Kylie Griffin! Cos it looks cool
ReplyDeleteI think you should read Enclave! I haven't read it yet, but it's been at the top of my wishlist for a really long time. I've heard great things about it too.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Enclave by Ann Aguirre. I would love your opinion on it, it sounds really great!
ReplyDeleteI think you should read Enclave, because you can never go wrong with any book by Ann Aguirre, she's such a fantastic author!
ReplyDeleteEnclave is an awesome choice. I read this first in a series and it is a fun zombie read with a strong female lead character and the world building was pretty good. There is a lot of action and suspense and the next book, Outpost, just came out this month! I also checked out your TBR pile and I would definitely go for Dead Witch Walking from Kim Harrison (another series I love!!) Strong, kick-ass, funny female main character and awesome group of secondary characters. Their interaction and the storyline development throughout the series is stellar.
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough choice as I have two on here I want to see you read. But I picked Enclave. I know you love Ann as much as I do, and this is a little different, but very much Ann's style of writing. I want to see what you think of it. And Outpost is out, so time to get to Enclave. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have VENGEANCE BORN on my reading list. I'd love to hear what you think.
ReplyDeleteMy pick is Enclave. I actually just read this last month and reviewed it this past week. It wasn't a book I loved, but I did really like getting to experience things like the sun though the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in minority here, Mel, but I love Shakespeare's Landlord series, so if you have a chance to start the series, - do it!
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read any of these books, but based on what I'm seeing from others, I suggest Vengeance Born. Good luck with your choice! Best to read them ALL and decide for yourself which one is the best! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
