Now the odds are that no one will find this blog, so on Sunday if there are no votes for any of the books I will use a random generator to pick one of the five and read and review. And I guess just keep doing it.
So the rules:
- The book will be from my main Amazon account.
- I do have two accounts and for most of this year I have purchased free books into my secondary account, but I haven't added those to my book list yet. When I do, I will include them in the pool.
- It must be a book I have not read since I started tracking my books in my Shelfari.
- Since I read a lot of books, I will stick with the ones that I have not read yet or haven't read in the last 4 years or so and I will discard any book that I have read during that time.
- I will write a review within 10 days of finishing the book.
- Exceptions or books that will require an alternate
- If one of the random books is from a series and is not the current book in reading order for me, I will select an alternate book. I do this because I generally dislike reading out of sequence. I figure the author went to trouble to put them in an order.
- There are some books in my account like Daily Cat a Day or Dog a Day picture/funny comment books. I'll skip these too.
Okay, I will add any rules to my list as time goes on, if I find that I missed something important.
So here goes, as of today I have I currently have 4175 books in that account and the first five random books from the list are:
A Quick Bite (The Argeneau Family) by Lynsay Sands
Saving Julie by Suzanne Selfors
Outcast (The Cat Star Chronicles) by Cheryl Brooks
Dog Cartoon-A-Day: 2012 Day-to-Day Calendar by Jonny Hawkins
Unholy Ghosts (Downside Ghosts) by Stacia Kane
Out of the first five I will have to replace three. This is going well.
- Saving Julie I read back on June 16th. It was a really sweet YA story about a girl from an acting dynasty that is transported into a real world version of Romeo and Juliet with her very famous co-star. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot.
- Outcast is part of The Cat Star Chronicles, a paranormal romance series, but is not the next book in the series for me. I read the first book titled Slave back in December 2010. I remember really enjoying it, but haven't gotten back around to the series yet. Maybe next time.
- Dog Cartoon-A-Day is one of those page a day ebooks.
So the replacements (and a few extras, just in case) are 3383, 1317, 3729, 1274 and 2884.
The War of the Worlds (Atria Books) by H. G. Wells
Lord of Rage (Harlequin Nocturne) by Jill Monroe
The Duchess War (The Brothers Sinister) by Courtney Milan
The Scarlet Letter : Vook Classics by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Devil Rogue by Lori Villarreal
Once again, I have to discard two of the five (Lord of Rage not the first in the series, The Duchess War just read it and LOVED IT)
So my five options include a paranormal romance, an urban fantasy, two classics and a historical romance.
- A Quick Bite (The Argeneau Family) by Lynsay Sands
- Unholy Ghosts (Downside Ghosts) by Stacia Kane
- The War of the Worlds (Atria Books) by H. G. Wells
- The Scarlet Letter : Vook Classics by Nathaniel Hawthorne
- The Devil Rogue by Lori Villarreal
This is the part where anyone who visits the page gets to help out. Please vote or leave comment and I will check on Sunday. If there are no votes (which is super likely since I am not going to promote this blog at this time) I will use the random generator to pick which of the five books I will read.
