Suggestions: April 2012 BOTM - Moderator's Picks

[Polly Parrot]

*ahem*

 

[Landslide]

My suggestion:
Room by Emma Donoghue

We still need suggestions from Sparkchaser, Occlith and Janet.

 

[Will]

Might I make a suggestion?

 

[Landslide]

As long as it's not a book suggestion, go right ahead.

 

[Will]

Oh well, never mind. It was a book suggestion.

 

[Polly Parrot]

My suggestion:
Room by Emma Donoghue

We still need suggestions from Sparkchaser, Occlith and Janet.

I thought we were doing two each? *confluddered*




Will: behave.

 

[Landslide]

I thought we were doing two each? *confluddered*

As you pointed out, I forgot to include Janet, so if she wants to, she can nominate one book (I've nominated another) and we'll still have 10 suggestions.

 

[sparkchaser]

I need to check my Kindle and see what I have unread.

 

[Landslide]

I need to check my Kindle and see what I have unread.

Well?

 

[sparkchaser]

I forgot to check.

Someone needs to remind me when I get home.

 

[Polly Parrot]

Tut tut. Check now. I'm sure you can think of something.

 

[sparkchaser]

I don't have it with me.

Oh wait, let me look at my Amazon order history.

OK, my two offerings:

Halting State by Charles Stross

Apples Are from Kazakhstan: The Land that Disappeared by Christopher Robbins

 

[Landslide]

Occlith's been having computer problems and that's why she hasn't been around. I'll ask Janet to suggest two books and I'll suggest another and then I'll set up the poll.

 

[Landslide]

I've asked Janet to suggest two books.

My second suggestion: The House At Riverton by Kate Morton.

 

[Janet H]

You'll need to pick another the poll options are increased a bit

My Name is Asher Lev - Chaim Potok
My favorite book. Life imitates art as a young artist comes of age. The book explores Hasidim and the conflict between artistic and personal expression and religion.

The Long Goodbye - Raymond Chandler
Beautifully written (1955); using hard-boiled detective fiction as a vehicle for social criticism.
