Hi Dee! Landed on your property...would like 4 books to pick from. Thank you! Wonderful little town you have here.

yay - would you like Atticus/Jem or Scout?

here you go - i'm channeling Atticus

Othello - i could see him making a case for the defense of both Iago and othello
Catch-22 - how i think he might have felt at times
Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation - i'm betting if he was a teacher, this would be his favorite book
All My Puny Sorrows

Thanks Dee!

Hi, Dee. I'm visiting your property and would like 3 books chosen for me from my shelf. How about letting Scout pick?

Here you go Bea

A Thousand Acres - so much space for Scout to explore
The Secret Keeper - she is very attune to secrets being kept by people
Innocent in Death - for all her town interactions she is still innocent

Since I own A Thousand Acres, I will read that one.

I landed on your space. How about letting Jem pick for me ;)

Three books please. Thanks!

ok, channeling a young boy (I think Jem was like 12)

if he was a modern boy, i bet you'd find Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on his bookshelf

since both he and Scout spent a lot of time outside - Stumbling Thru: Hike Your Own Hike

The Catcher in the Rye - written in the 1950's, its entirely possible this book would have been required reading for him in school

Thanks Dee!

I'm going to continue the Harry Potter theme as ib am finishing book 6 now and go with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Hi Dee, could I have 3 picks please?

bookopoly shelf

TIA :D

since we only have 3 books in common on your shelf...and i've only read 1 of them...

The Invention of Wings - loved this and the audio was almost perfect
Raelia - highest rated on your shelf
For Love of Country - because it has zero ratings and needs some love

Thanks, Dee!
The last 2 are ARCs hence the highest & zero ratings lol
I'd probably go for Raelia since I've just finished the first book the other day and am looking forward to check out the next instalment :)

i kind of figured...

i will say, i got a review audiobook a while back (the narrator is a current fav); the book has been out for like 3 years and 0 reviews

I'm confused... which book are you talking about?

i was talking about one i got...

oh ok... I wasn't quite with the program lol

It's amazing how different people's shelves are!

Hi Dee - I've landed on your square. Could Atticus pick three books for me please?

My shelf is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

hi Nancy Helen!

A Cold Dark Place - with a series like cold justice, it seems appropriate with Atticus being a lawyer
My Unconquerable Soul - because Scout saw her dad as unconquerable
The History of Things to Come - because Atticus would be a guy who reads history and tries to avoid repeating mistakes from the past

I love how you've themed the choices. Brilliant! I think I'll read The History of Things to Come because it is rated so highly. Thank you!

Hi Dee. I landed on your property. Could you please pick 3 books for me from my shelf?

here you go
Just One Damned Thing After Another - this series is like a hidden gem!
Winter Garden
Magic Bites - this series starts slow, but its one of my favorites!

Thank you Dee! I like how you add a coment to the books you have chosen. You make the 1st and 3rd book sound so good! I'm not sure yet which one to go for...

Hi, Dee. Would you please choose 3 books for me to consider?

my shelf

here you go Bea - enjoy!

Innocent Traitor - because i didn't know a lot about Jane Grey before i listened to this
Crank - this introduced me to the writing of Ellen Hopkins
Station Eleven - I really enjoyed this one when I listened to it

Dee wrote: "here you go Bea - enjoy!"

Dee, I just got a notice that Station Eleven has come in for me, so I will choose that one!

Hi Dee, could you pick me three books from my bookopoly shelf please?

lol - I've just stopped by The Old Man & the Sea and I'm to see you again ;p

bookopoly shelf - 4 picks pretty please

lol! i'll pick for both of you...since i'm still lagging behind in one of my picks - if either of you finish before me (and don't own 2 properties), this will become yours ;)

Corelei:

The Aeronaut's Windlass - the only one on your bookopoly shelf that i've read...
The Master Butchers Singing Club- because its on my TBR pile
The Blackwater Lightship

Tien:

White Hot Kiss
Hanover House
I, Morgana - cause there has been a lot about King Arthur in the news recently
Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale

Thanks Dee, I will probably go with The Aeronaut's Windlass but I doubt that I will finish it in a hurry.

Hi Dee. I'm back for more :) Can Scout please pick some books for me from my shelf?

hi Lusie

A Caribbean Mystery - because Scout has been attracted to mysteries
The House Between Tides - because it sounds like a title Scout could be intrigued in
Unintended Consequences - beause Scout learnt a lot about consequences during the course of TKAM

Thank you!! I'm not sure yet, I think I'll read A Caribbean Mystery or The House Between Tides

I'm BACK... again :)

Could I have 4 picks please? Here's my shelf.

TIA

ok Tien...here you go:

A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea - love the cover
The Map of Bones - cause i loved the first book in the series
#SaveOzStories - highest rated
The Last Stormlord - longest on shelf

Thanks, Dee! I think I'll go for the last 2 :)

Hi, Dee. Would you please pick 3 books for me? Bea's Bookopoly shelf

The Writing Circle - one of newer books on shelf
The Periodic Table - oldest on shelf
Dragon Teeth - lowest rated
Kate: The Journal of a Confederate Nurse - highest rated

Dee wrote: "The Writing Circle - one of newer books on shelf

Dee, I think I will read The Periodic Table; I own this book, and it will help me with Book Hunt and another group's challenge.

FYI - i'm delinquent in reading 2 of my books - so if you finish before I do, then you'll get one of my squares (assuming you don't own 2)
