GKU August Book Club Voting

[kayladawn91]

All of these books sound great! Yay!

[ThankfulSnail]

This vote is a really tough choice! So many good options!

[Deleted]

Im reading A man called Ove for my IRL book club. I just joined so this is new, but I can actually participate if it's picked.

[butlerfan]

I've read 2 books on tholis list! This is a welcome change. Granted I should probably reread it if it wins but I even own those books (along with a lot more...lol)
Now to find time to read the June one...

Can I be added to the book club? I have a good book that I think people would enjoy that could be added to July maybe?
Sorry, I just noticed that it's already done for July.. Can someone explain how this works?

Since quite a few people would have to miss a month due to library waiting lists, we now vote for books a month or so in advance. We will likely suggest/vote for books for September around the end of July (maybe sooner). You are welcome to suggest it then!

The book for July is Yes Please by Amy Poehler.  If you do read it, you can just jump in on the discussion at the end of the month.

Feel free to jump in now, there's a post that's still on the main page with our discussion about Me Before You if you've read it. Otherwise we're reading Yes Please by Amy Poehler for July. I'll post a reminder around July 10 then start the discussion on the 22nd and start taking nominations for September on the 23rd

Oh cool! I've heard great things about that book but have not read it yet. Recently I was on a romance binge and read all these bad boy college romance books lol.. I'll get to reading Yes Please

Neat! I haven't read it in ages, will be great to rediscover it.

For Jane Eyre fans, I read Wide Sargasso Sea in college, and recommend it.

[kayladawn91]

I'm an English teaching major and I've never read Jane Eyre. I was supposed to read it for a class once but I ended up dropping the class because I had too many credits that semester. And then I never took it again.

[kawaiikitsune]

Jane Eyre has been on my list of must-reads for a years so I'm excited to read it.

[jax1182014]

Just wondering if anyone has read the game of thrones books? I'm a huge fan of the show and I'm wondering if the books are good?
I love how you guys are reading Jane Eyre... I was a sparks notes kinda girl for those type of books lol

[wannabmama]

I'm so excited. This is one of my favorite books ever and I'd probably never read again bc I just rarely re-read books and I've read this one at least twice already. I think I last read it in high school. I can't wait to see what I think of it now!

This is one of my favorites. If you have an e-reader, you can typically get books out of copyright like this one for free (just search Jane Eyre Free in the Kindle store, for example - Nook is probably similar).

jax1182014 I loved the first few GoT books. The fifth is a serious slog. Did not enjoy that one. And the way GRRM split the action, there are two books (4 & 5) covering the same time period - each has half the characters, give or take. So those two don't flow as well. But the first three are definitely worthwhile reads.

Oh! Good call on this! Yes, it's free in the Kindle store, just downloaded it so I'm READY lol.
