Nominate for the Book Club here!

[Deleted]

There's been some interest in a book club, so let's get to it!

Nominate a book here that you would like to read, and we will go from there.

Nominations will stay open through Monday, we will vote Tuesday, and that should give everyone enough time to acquire the book by Feb. 1st.

Sound good?

Fearsy or @sterling can we make this sticky through the weekend?

[andied]

Idk how into "war" books anyone would be, but we just read Unbroken in my book club. It was good. Have yet to watch the movie, so idk how well they translated it.

My coworker recently recommended "What Was She Thinking?" by Zoë Heller

“This portrait of a twisted relationship amounts to a master class in human emotion.”

Unbroken was excellent.

I've heard great things about Big Little Lies.

Other suggestions - All the Light we Cannot See, Every Breath (like a young adult Australian Sherlock Holmes), Uglies (another YA, sorry, I read a lot of it!), Cuckoo's Calling (can't go wrong with JK), Me Before You (kind of a romance), First Grave on the Right (urban fantasy/chick lit)

We just read Dark Places in the TTGP book club last month and I just can't do another Gillian Flynn.

[ugotstarbucked]

I want to read Me Before You or If I Stay.

[estrellas]

"Room" recently finished filming up near a church near my in-laws' place in Canada, so it's on my to-read list. Finished "All The Light We Cannot See" and loved that, so I'd recommend it. I have "Ringworld" (sci-fi) on my re-read list, and... about 400 other books. Goodreads and I, we have a relationship.

I read Dark Places, it was disturbing. Like keep you up at night worrying about someone killing your kids disturbing.

They're turning Room into a movie? Oh dear Lord, no - that book wrenched my heart out.  While I thought it was good, it was incredibly hard to read.

I am also an avid GoodReads-er! Love that site.  I'll read just about anything & looking forward to the poll!

Eesh okay, maybe not that one then!

[xcrissx]

Me Before You was really good. I love all of JoJo Moyes.

I nominate
One Plus One by JoJo Moyes,
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty, and
Defending Jacob by William Landay.

I'm in shock that they adapted this book into a movie -- I read it like 3 years ago and I still think about it sometimes, disturbing and heartbreaking.

[ventotheessa]

I don't think I can do another Gillian Flynn book. I read dark places with the ttgp book club last month and I need a break from the disturbing books.

Would love any of the other books mentioned. I'm always up for a good YA novel. Looking forward to the poll.

I posted this earlier on the Book Club board:

How about The Island Beneath The Sea by Isabel Allende? She is one of my favorite writers, famous for novels such as The House of the Spirits and City of the Beasts.
And they have a Kindle edition.

So ladies are we going to abandon the S15 club and peeps join the book club forum here? I'm fine either way just want to know what people think.

+1

[mrsb1008]

Ditto. I'd rather have one just for us as well.

[goldpolkadot]

Agreed

[tngrl3]

I don't have any nominations, but just dropping in to say I plan to participate once a book is selected. I'll read just about anything but I feel a little out of touch with what's current.

I just really want to read something from Isabel Allende, she's my favorite author.

[dagnybb]

I would also prefer to have a book club for just the S15 ladies (but I will check out the other book club group as well).

I'll toss in The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. It got rave reviews from the NPR team.
