Review by me - http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/10/satanic-verses-salman-rushdie.html
ReplyDeleteReview by a fellow reviewer - http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/09/joseph-anton-memoir-by-salman-rushdie.html
Though Vivek is not here anymore but after reading this review, it inspired me to read a lot of Salman Rushdie and I absolutely enjoy his work.
My pick from the list of books is - The sly company of people who care!
I would obviously enjoy writing about the book I found most interesting to read. Here is my pick out of my own reviews (Easy one, given that I did not have much to choose from) http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/12/the-sari-shop-widow-by-shobhan-bantwal.html
ReplyDeleteAmong others, its a real tough choice, but I think I would go with this one. There are no reasons, it is more of an instinctive liking for this post. http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/12/keeping-faith-jodi-picoult_14.html
Yatin , Can you please pick a review post by some one who is existing member of ALOP ?
ReplyDeleteIt will make me easy to count for winner :)

This is such a cute giveaway! :D
ReplyDeleteThe review I enjoyed writing most this year, was of the book called "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand:
http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/02/fountainhead-ayn-rand.html
And the review that touched my heart like no other was of the book "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult, reviewed by FL:
http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/08/my-sisters-keeper-jodi-picoult.html
Cheers!
And my choice of book is "Sister" - by Rosamund Lupton, even though it's going to rip my heart apart.
ReplyDeleteNo,not fair...I have to judge these books by their covers now!
ReplyDeleteMy review would be(not like I had any choice):
http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/12/lets-pretend-this-never-happened-jenny.html
And a review I liked(that's three for this one FL!):
http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/12/keeping-faith-jodi-picoult_14.html
And the book I'm angling for is Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco(wait,are we even supposed to mention that??)
Oh this is going to be painful!!
ReplyDeleteThe review I enjoyed writing....eerr... do i have to choose from out of 140 reviews! 70 percent of them fantasy :( Well, if I had to choose one I loved writing the most, it would be Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult.
http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/10/sing-you-home-jodi-picoult.html
As for the the review i loved to read the most, it would have to be Juliet Naked by icyhighs
http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/04/juliet-naked-stripping-nick-hornby.html
Well, I'm quite new to ALOP and reviews in general ;) but okay..
ReplyDeleteA review I loved writing (can't I say all? writing about a book is so enjoyable, so how can you ask to choose?!)
: http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/11/heidi-by-johanna-spyri.html
As for reading and enjoying (again, the same thing, how can I choose?! but since I have to, I'd say... ) it was Heirs of Catriona review by Freelancer.
http://www.alotofpages.com/2012/12/heirs-of-catriona-anusha-subramanian.html
I'll angle for a book later.. must read something about each book before I make up my mind.. but title wise, Illustrado seems intriguing :D
So FL, you really ought to thank Jodi Picoult. :P And I know Nimue is hosting this giveaway but I'd like to know what she would choose. :D
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely giveaway! And for the first time, I am at ease to enter :P :D
