August Book Club Nominations

[butlerfan]

@ismellbooks I loved Jane Eyre, I haven't read that in ages.

[ceejay]

I know we had talked about Rebecca a while ago... but now I can't remember if that won and I skipped reading that month, or if it hasn't been picked yet. If it's the latter, then I nominate Rebecca for August.

[kayladawn91]

I still want to read A Man Called Ove so I'll nominate that again.

[ThankfulSnail]

I'm a newb but I'd like to be added. I might not finish my current book in time to join in July but I can probably join in August.

I've never read Jane Eyre and have heard that I should.

My sister recently read this and recommended it to me! I'd like to read it!

Just read the synopsis of this and it sounds really good. I love a feel-good story.

I've been struggling to get into it. I usually read a book every week or two but I'm going really slowly with this one. I am, essentially, married to Ove, so I thought I'd love it. Maybe I'll change my mind by the end...

We read it last summer I think? I feel like I remember discussing it here

We read it last September. I remember because I campaigned for it since it was my birthday month.

I remember you campaigning for it but forgot if it won or not. It makes sense that I skipped book club last September since that was the month we got our foster sons, so I didn't have much time for reading!

Yes you should. Gone with the Wind is another must read as well.

This is another one on my top 5 fav list.

Yes! I know people have mixed feelings on Gone with the Wind but I love it so hard, I read it at least once a year

[irish14]

Can you add me? I'm hoping I can find the time to join in. I miss reading and talking about books - I was an English major - I just haven't had the time lately. I.e., for the past several years...

All my noms right now would be things I've read already, is that cheating?

+1 to LOVE for Gone with the Wind. My copy is super tattered, which I embrace as a sign of love. Man it's long though.

Wicked!

OOh...I've read this one...I liked this one

Another good one by him is Mirror Mirror

[ThankfulSnail]

Wicked was good and I haven't read it in a long time. I thought the sequel was meh and never bothered to pick up the following book(s?).

I heard the sequel was terrible.

Currently reading Maya's Notebook by Isabel Allende. Also love most of her other books.

No. We read it last year. It was a horribly boring book.

[thechickencoop]

I know nothing about the noms that were posted so I gotta see what looks good. Clearly I didn't remember enough about Me Before You to even discuss BUT I just put in my hold for Yes, Please and I'm next in line Woohoo!

So, not to nominate obviously BUT for my trigger book lovers, I just finished The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and it was A MA ZING. I mean, it was awful, like I couldn't read it in bed because I was bawling, but, sooo, so good.

[whatsit]

I haven't played for a while but I ended up discussing me before you because I had just read it coincidently. Would love to get back into reading more.

Is it possible to create a document showing what books have already been discussed? If we can all remember anyway

This list isn't in any sort of order, but we've read

The Girl on the Train
Cuckoo’s Calling
The Handmaid’s Tale
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Yes Please
Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me
Leaving time
Me Before You
All the Light We Cannot See
Ready Player One
The Red Queen
The Martian
You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
The Nightingale

Let me know if you can think of any I left off the list

Thanks! I think the last one I remember reading that I kept up with was dark places(?) same author as gone girl anyway.

[ceejay]

Also: Wild.

I think that was the first book club book I participated in.

You obviously didn't make it to the end.

I did! It really just didn't do anything for me.
