Hi Marina! How about these:
The Monkey's Paw
The Birthmark
The Big Sleep

Hi Marina! Here are some selections for Dundee:
Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter
At Chrighton Abbey and Other Horror Stories
The Shadow in the Moonlight and Other Stories

Thanks, Beth! I'm not sure whether in this edition there is still the rule which says that requests by the same person must be responded by two different people... I'll post the question in the general thread. Anyway, I think I'll choose The Big Sleep from your first pick :)

I'm around if you need someone different for Stoke-on-Trent.

Okay, they seem to be saying on the other thread that it's better to have different people if poss, so I will pick your Stoke-on-Trent books for you and hope Beth doesn't mind!

My picks:
Clouds of Witness
The Machine Stops
The Maltese Falcon

I mis-stated the second batch of books when I said Dundee----should have said Stoke-on-Trent....so whichever you want to use is fine with me Marina! :)

I just saw that it's one person per request....my mistake!

I have landed on Middlesbrough. Would someone please give me three choices from my bookshelf?

Beth wrote: "I have landed on Middlesbrough..."

Hi Beth! Here you are three choices I hope you'll enjoy:

The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America
Cider With Rosie
Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster

Thanks, Beth and Rosemary! Since the mods say it's better to have different people pick even though it's not a rule, I'll go with Rosemary's picks :) I'm leaning toward The Maltese Falcon but I'll think about it a little longer.

I've landed on Plymouth. Please would someone pick for me?

I don't have many books on the shelf because I need to read certain books for challenges by the end of the year, so it's fine to only pick two.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

How about these?

The Case of the Missing Boyfriend or The Never Ending Story

Perfect, thank you! I will go with The Case of the Missing Boyfriend

I've landed on Plymouth. Can someone please pick few books from my shelf?

tnx ☺

How about one of these?

Thanks :)

I'll probably go with Wildfire
But Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell works better with challenges :P

And it’s a good cozy book if you want a big book to read.

Here you go Bea!


UK for visiting the UK and M for your current spot

Title U


Author K


Title M

LaurLa wrote: "Here you go Bea! UK for visiting the UK and M for your current spot"

Thanks, LaurLa. Although I need to read them all during this month, I am going to choose The Beast as it will help me finish one of the PnM challenges...and, because I own it, I frequently choose to bypass it in preference to library books with due dates. This one needs to get some attention!

Hey all! I've landed on Exeter - could someone please pick 3 books for me? https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
