cosmic-gin - January 21, 2007 02:32 AM (GMT)
Pick any books from my 'To Be Read' pile and I will choose one, read it and send it to you within 2 months :)

* Am currently reading In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner from the previous 'Make Me Read It' relay for colllapse *

catsalive - January 21, 2007 10:56 AM (GMT)
I've sent you a list of books to choose from, cosmic-gin. Now it's my turn.

Pick 3+ books from my Mt TBR , I'll read one & send it to you.

:bananadance:

cosmic-gin - January 23, 2007 09:53 AM (GMT)
Kylie,

Thanks for the list - great choices and hard for me to choose. But I'm gonna go with She Who Remembers by Linda Shuler because it's the first book in the series (I have the other 2) so it's good motivation for me to start now .. ha!

I love this relay ... helps me whittle down my TBRs and pick a genre I might not have got to for a while! :bananadance:

catsalive - January 23, 2007 10:21 AM (GMT)
Ah, yes. I did notice it was the 1st in a series. I hope you like it.

My TBR's for whoever is next.

RockDg9 - January 24, 2007 08:28 AM (GMT)
Right-o ... PMing you catsalive!

Love this relay - come and choose from my TBRs ... I've lost a page since playing this relay! :bananadance:

Here is my list: RockDgTBR

catsalive - January 24, 2007 12:04 PM (GMT)
I like this relay too. It gets me reading books I might otherwise put off ad infinitum.

I couldn't resist checking your shelf out, RockDg9. Blame yourself - if you didn't have a bunch of great books on TBR I wouldn't have been able to choose any. I've sent you a PM with 5 possibles.

Cheers.

And My TBRs are here.

freelunch - March 1, 2007 09:28 AM (GMT)
well I had vowed not to do any more "TBR" relays, but then I discovered Robert Goddard.

catsalive, I'll be in touch with my three choices.

my TBRs are here - please select three and I'll pick one to send out to you within (hopefully) two months.

maybe three months.
