It’s Random Reads time again! Thankfully I’m back to participating and last month I chose and read Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky. Unfortunately I didn’t end up liking it at all so I didn’t finish it. But I did review it on my Goodreads account, and you can read it here, I won’t be reviewing it on I’m Loving Books because I don’t like reviewing books here that I haven’t finished..

In short, Random Reads is a meme where we pick a random book from our shelf to read within the month. Feel free to do more than one per month, but since a lot of people have a lot of books to read each month, only one is “required” for the meme. I’m on Goodreads so I’m using a combination of the sorting feature and Random.org to pick the book I’m going to read.

Want to join in on Random Reads?

It’s easy…

1. If you’re on Goodreads enable sorting to your to-read shelf (you should see numbers next to each book now).
2. Go to Random.org and type in the Min as 1 and the Max as how many ever books are on your to-read shelf.
3. Scroll down to the book matching the number Random.org picks.
4. Link up to your Random Reads post (below). If you choose more than one book per month, be sure to put a number by your name in the list so it doesn’t look like a duplicate.
5. Read and be merry.

If you’re not on Goodreads just pick a random book from your list in whatever way you want to do it. You can use the method I used above or even just close your eyes and point randomly at a book on your bookshelf if you want (spin the bottle style). lol

Now onto this month’s Random Read! This month Random.org chose…

#258 on my to-read list, You Slay Me by Katie MacAlister, and it’s been on my to-read list since February 18, 2011.

This is one I actually have really been looking forward to reading for awhile. It’s a short four book series, and I’ve heard it’s really funny, and I’m always a fan of a book that can make me laugh. I’m hoping it’s the same kind of funny (sarcastic funny) as the Charley Davidson series, which I love, but we’ll see!

Random Reads Buttons

Here is the meme button you can use and it’s copy/paste code:

Or you can use the longer “banner” version I used in this post instead:
