Let's have our first monthly read along in February! Let's get some suggestions and I'll post a poll.
I would say we not suggest anything currently super popular or brand new releases for those of us who borrow from the library and might have a long wait.
Also keep in mind the pop sugar challenge.
ETA: I'm going to leave this open through the weekend to give everybody a chance to make a suggestion. I'll take the top picks from this post and create a poll on Monday, and leave that open until the end of next week. I will post the winner and when we plan on having discussions.

Love Pride and Prejudice! I've been wanting to read that one again. I have no suggestions but I'm looking for something new to read so I'm excited to see other's responses.

Either of those would be A-OK in my book. Pride & Prejudice would be easy for people to get their hands on since it's free as an ebook and usually readily available in libraries, and Soulless has the potential to introduce people to a subgenre they may have never tried before.

What about the book Wild:From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. It might be to popular right now since the movie came out recently. It looks really good though.
Or Seasons of Storms by Susanna Kearsley, The ocean at the end of the lane by Neil Gaiman
I don't have any good suggestions either but I'd be up for either of those. I've read Pride and Prejudice but could again. I looked at the description for soulless and it seems intriguing. I don't think I've ever read anything like that.

I'm down for Wild or Pride and Prejudice. But I also nominate When Gravity Fails. It's been on my shelf for a couple years and I need, and really want, to read it.

I agree with all this and think both are good suggestions as well.

I've never seen the movie either. Is be fine with anything suggested. Is there a way too share files on here? I may or may not have epub and mobi files for several books. Including everything mentioned here I believe.

Add me to the list of those who have never read P&P! Somewhat interested in this option.
I also like the suggestion of Wild, my IRL book club has vetoed memoirs for a little while (I think we read too many not-so-good ones, haha) but that one is still on my personal list!
Lurker piping up here (love that there's a book club board!) I'm not an Austen fan - I've tried really hard, just could never get into it - I'll throw in the suggestions of Pride, Prejudice and Zombies or The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld.
I'm not an Austen fan either I would totally do a Pride, Prejudice and Zombies buddy read with you while every once else reads P&P.

I think Wild sounds really interesting. I've never read P&P before so that sounds good too. ready Souless and it was really meh for me. I did love the Night Circus as well!
