Poll Pop-Ups - Word of the Day or Book Recommendations?

[AgentPete]

I've just posted a terrific collection of Pop-Ups’ Words of the Day as brought to us by our guests over the past few months, carefully assembled by @AliG (thank you!). Do browse, you'll have fun.
I’ve been wondering whether we should instead ask our guests to reccomend a book, or at least tell us what they’re currently reading. The format doesn’t really alow time for both. Your views welcome, please.

Books could be engaging. It's always good to hear about things outside our immediate interests.

 

[Carol Rose]

The words are great fun, but I love the idea of book recommendations!

 

[AliG]

Books would seem great; as long as a fairly potted review - most of us could wax for hours over a fave

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Words are great for scatalogical interest. Books would be better; makes things more publishing orientated.

 

[RK Capps]

It's always interesting to see what others are reading ...

 

[Deleted member 604]

Books is a win, win for me.

 

[Steve C]

Why restrict the guests to one word when they can give us a bookfull of them.
Books for sure.

 

[E G Logan]

I would definitely prefer a book, too.

 

[Ancora Imparo]

The words are fun, but good book recommendations are always welcome so I'd opt for that

 

[Emily]

Ah, a change is as good as a rest! And I always like to hear what someone else is reading.

 

[Susan]

Books, definitely, or we might start littering our manuscripts with sapid but obfuscating dogberryisms.

 

[Geoff]

I do like the words, but I will go with the overwhelming majority and … BOOKS
Alternatively, we could pick a word out of the recommended book? Only joking …

 

[Katie-Ellen]

@Geoff That could work too. Yeah...favourite book TITLES The power of the title.

 

[KateESal]

I'm singing with the choir on this one. Book recommendations (or what are you currently reading), yes please.

 

[CageSage]

Oh, I seem to be in the minority - I love the finding of a new word, especially if it's a word that says exactly what I want for that place in the story. An exact word that does what many words can't.
Vote One The Words!!

Okay, I like the idea of great titles, too.

 

[RK Capps]

favourite book TITLES The power of the title.

I LOVE this idea And maybe delve into why that title works?

 

[David Weller]

I'm going with the majority view and like the idea of book recommendations.

 

[Geoff]

Or perhaps … Book Title , brief summary of why you would recommend / like it, and a line from the book that represents the writing?

 

[Susan]

Choosing book titles might be a good craft chat. It's something 'how-to' books don't seem to speak about but it's so important.

 

[Barbara]

Book. Current, or wish list.

Or,

What was the last sentence they wrote.
