This thread is now open!

Can i ask do readers also enjoyed books stay the same or should i get a book noted

I am thinking of using Elizabeth Finch asmy least favourite book and on the readers also enjoyed page today is Companion Piece by Ali Smith

Thanks for your help

Good question! Does anyone know?
I suspect they can change but they don't seem to change often.
Either way i confirm your selection above

thanks Meg

LOL - I was going to do Readers Also Enjoy for one of my favorite books A Guide to Smithsonian Gardens, but it turns out all of the books listed are ones I read for the Spring Challenge. I'll use a different task on a different 5 star read.
But for my least favorite book, could you confirm A Slice of Heaven for 44 Cranberry Point (the book I read)? Thanks!

confirmed
i have the same problem for my favourite book and readers enjoy. i guess that means they are good matches!

In case they change, can I get White Noise confirmed as a "Readers Also Enjoyed" book for As I Lay Dying (which, I'm sorry, I did not enjoy).

May I have Howl confirmed as "Readers Also Enjoyed" for White Rabbit (did not enjoy, read like a bad movie. Sorry!)

Confirming Emily and Deborah's choices

Please confirm The Candy House as a Readers Also Enjoyed for Sea of Tranquility. I hope I enjoy The Candy House as much!

For least favorite, I'm assuming that it means the least favorite book that I read in its entirety, right?, and not the did-not-finish books

Shoot, I forgot about the fact that a Readers Also Enjoyed can change.

Please confirm Warrior Fae Trapped for The Water Dancer.

Sorry, I'm having issues with the reply function. But i confirm Sandy and Bea above.

And good question deedee. I'll limit it to those read in entirety.

Could I confirm Gentlemen of the Road as "Readers Also Enjoyed" for Matecumbe (did not enjoy) please?

Confirmed denise

I didn't compete in the Spring Challenge this time. Is there an alternative, since I have no books to refer to?

She specified books read during the challenge period, not necessarily used for the challenge. Does that help?

Aprilleigh is correct, they don't need to have been used for the challenge

Could you please confirm The Trees as a Readers Also Enjoyed for Version Control? Thanks!

That's confirmed Sara

Confirmed. And sorry to hear you didn't like that one because it sounds really good!

Please could I get Death at La Fenice confirmed as a 'readers also enjoyed' book for Cabal? You might have to hit the arrows a couple of times for it to show, so I'm a bit worried about it getting booted off the carousel!

Confirmed Jayne

In case it changes, can I get and locked-in as books on the "Reader's Also Enjoyed List" for my least favorite book of ? Thank you : )

Both confirmed Robin

Sorry, I missed that. thanks!

I'm not sure whether the Readers als Enjoyed list changes, but Just to be sure I read Something to Hide for the last challenge and loved all 700 plus pages. I want to read The Night Watchman which is currently on the readers also enjoyed list for Something to Hide. Can you please confirm this in the event that it disappears from the list before I get it read?
Thanks,
Andy

Ha! The School for Good Mothers was my favorite book of the year so far. I totally understand why people won't like it, though.

Meg wrote: "Confirmed kmaried"

Thank you!

This is my first SRC, not sure if I need to tell you beforhand which book was my favourite and least favourite? But since others are, I'll follow along.
Favourite: Between the World and Me
Least favourite: The Unburied Dead
Though my actual least favourite was The Girl in the Mist as I couldn't even finish it. The worst Kristen Ashley book.
Not sure what I'll read. Do i need to let you know before hand?

Hi kell, no you don't need to say beforehand. Just include the detail when you post to claim points

I just wanted to say how much I like this task. It's hard to come up with something original and I found this fun.

Aww, thank you Robin!

can you confirm Malibu Rising as one of the titles for "Readers Also Enjoyed" from start book: Nine Perfect Strangers

thanks!

Yes it's there, Cat.
Weirdly I first looked on the app and it wasn't there. So the app and website have different recommendations!

Of course they do! GR is anything but sensible and coherent

So I just discovered these can actually change as three of my picks are no longer listed. With that being said, can I lock Sorrow and Bliss as my Readers Also Enjoyed from I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death.

TIA!!

Locked in, Angela
