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 12th February - 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 by British authors to give me a leg up on the British Books Challenge I signed up for! You can go to the original posts to see what I said about them if you click on them!
To be honest.. i haven't read any of those so it's a little hard to recommend you one however if i look at the summary and the cover i think you should give 666 charing cross road a try
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these BUT I've been meaning to check out Soul Beach for ages. Read that one, read that one! *chants* :D
ReplyDeleteChristina Kit. in the form
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Soul Beach because that little bit of text on the cover? So intriguing! Also the threat from the phrase compared to the beach scene is cool:)
Thank you:)
I think Blonde Bombshell looks light and fun, I think you should read that.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I have not idea what any of these books is about, but I would choose 666 Charing Cross Road based solely on the cover :)
ReplyDeleteomg, i havent heard of these books before your post, and i must say i do like the sound of all of them, i chose Soul Beach. cuz lets face it,a paranormal (type) beach? that sounds amazing haha.
ReplyDeleteI want you to read Soul Beach, Mel! This has been on my wishlist for ages, and I find the synopsis really interesting. I need your opinion on that! :)
ReplyDeleteTricky one and I can't say which one to read this time
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say 666 Charing Cross Road, because I remember seeing a couple of reviews for it and it sounded interesting, and I'm interested in seeing what you think of it.
ReplyDelete~Ailsa
Dept. 19. Why? Because it has the freakiest cover and that makes me more curious. LOL
ReplyDeleteI would like you to read 666 Charing Cross Road - Paul Magrs because I'm so curious about this one and I love the cover!
ReplyDeleteYou should read Department 19. Mainly because I have it on my shelf but have never read it. I am interested in seeing your review. If you like it then I might be more inclined to read it, as from following your blog for a while I think we have similar tastes.
ReplyDeleteAlso I've never heard of the others. :D
Oh I say Department 19. I have a copy here for the kiddo to read. So I'm curious if it would be great for him. :) And I think you'd let me know! :D Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou have to read 666 Charing Cross Road. It has MAGIC!!
ReplyDeleteI think you should read Department 19 - Will Hill because I think you'll really like it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to read Department 19 soon; we should read it together! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mel! I voted for Soul Beach- because this is on my TBR as well, and if you say it's good it might encourage me to finally read it!
ReplyDeleteSoul Beach - Kate Harrison because the "young, the beautiful and the dead" sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI adored Soul Beach and Soul Fire and am anxiously awaiting the next book so I really think you should give Sul Beach a go, it is a truly great concept :)
ReplyDeleteI picked Soul Beach because I haven't read it and I want to know if it's any good lol. Thanks for the giveaway!
