I’d choose, well all of my books, as that is all I’d be allowed the participate with.
The Witch of Blackbird Pond
An old fashioned girl
The hobbit.
That’s them in order. Don’t stress if you don’t end up picking one of these straight away. I’m sure they’ll be picked one day and then I can do it.

@Bluejay- What is The Witch of Blackbird Pond about? I’ve always avoided it because of the title.

@Sarah-h

I avoided it because of the title for a bit, but it’s a lovely story with nothing creepy about it. The ‘witch’ is just a lovely old quaker woman. The Puritans weren’t very tolerant of any one who disagreed with them and they were superstitious.It’s a very accurate historical novel. I found a good summary of it for any one who wants to know what it’s about.

The novel tells the story of Katherine “Kit” Tyler, a young orphan who, in 1687, travels from the tropical island of Barbados to the stark Puritan colony of Connecticut. With her flashy clothes and aristocratic roots, Kit doesn’t fit in with the piety or plainness of her new extended family. Feeling out of place, Kit befriends another outsider, the Quaker Hannah Tupper. When a fever strikes the children of Wethersfield, the residents accuse Hannah of bringing the plague upon the town. Kit too faces accusations of witchcraft, simply for befriending the woman no one else would touch.

I also found a study guide.
