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 6th November- 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!):

I was going to suggest "Tyger Tyger," but then changed my mind and went with "The Stepsister Scheme," because I'm curious as to what you think about Hines's work!
ReplyDeleteI think the stepsister scheme, I have heard good things about it and I want to know what you make of it.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely MUST read "Curiosity Thrilled the Cat", I mean, seriously, is there a better genre for this season? Just add a warm blanket and a cup of tea and you're all set!
ReplyDeleteThe Stepsister Scheme, only because Jim is hilarious and I want to read this book :)
ReplyDeleteI chose GoT, because I love the TV series hahaha! And I want to read the books soon.
ReplyDeleteI would say Curiosity Thrilled The Cats by Sofie Kelly. because it's the only one I never heard about, and now I'm curious to see how it is.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones, cause i want to read that one too :D
ReplyDeleteMel either Game of Thrones or Tyger Tyger would be my pick as read both and the fantasy genre is lucky these two authors exist because Martin and Hamilton both have extremely well developed worlds and characters you will love to escape RL with.
ReplyDeleteShorter reading is of course Tyger Tyger but GOT is sooooo worth the time it takes to read it!
I was going to say Tyger Tyger because I read it and want to know your opinion, but I chose Game of Thrones since I want to read it and really want your opinion on that one. :)
ReplyDeleteI am going with The Stepsister Scheme - Jim C. Hines. Cos we could all do with some fun fantasy :D
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones. I haven't read it yet but so many of my bookish friends have and they all loved it. :)
ReplyDeleteYOU MUST READ GAME OF THRONES!!
ReplyDeleteYOU MUST! Is a bit long but soooooo worth it!
The TV series is amazing and the books are EPIC!!
GAME OF THRONES! GAME OF THRONES!
So I chose Game of Thrones because I recommened the board game (based on the tv series) as a Christmas present for my hubby (who loves all stratergy games!). The game sounds awesome and now I know there's a book ... well, maybe I can get it cheep on my kindle?!? It was a hard choice though, and I was definitely intrigued by both the step-sisters book (even though I was never allowed to read fairy tales as a kid!) and Tyger Tyger, which sounds a bit hobit-like and I have a fascination with dreams.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, I'd go for Game of Thrones!!! :)
Game of Thrones is your best choice.. The series are awesome!! Have you seen them?? I'm dying to read all of the books and dying to watch season 3!! Can't wait for it!!
ReplyDeleteYou MUST read Game of Thrones - it is so good!!!! I've read the first three books in the series, and can't wait to read the other 2.

I'd choose A Game of Thrones - I haven't read it yet either, but I've heard so many people rave about it, I think you need to read it. Then tell me how you liked it. :D
ReplyDeleteI vote for Tyger Tyger because I love the cover and it sounds pretty interesting. I looked into Game of Thrones because all of the hype, but I was dismayed by all of the rape scenes that are mentioned in the reviews.
ReplyDeleteGAME OF THRONES is absolutely incredible. In fact the entire series is. YOU MUST READ!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many of those books look so good (Game of Thrones!) but I have Tyger Tyger to read as well, and I'm really curious to know what you think of it.
